BACKGROUND

Bla Translation was established in 2013 by Alun Gruffydd when he began working
as a full-time independent translator, working from his home in Rhostrehwfa,
Anglesey in a small corner of the spare room! He has been a qualified translator
since 2001.

He began his career as an archaeologist and the subject remains a passion of
his. Some of the earliest words or shapes of our prehistory come from the stones
in the burial chambers or cromlechs such as at Barclodiad y Gawres at Porth
Trecastell on the West coast of Anglesey. Today, archaeologists continue in
their attempts to translate these words and scribes!

The business grew quickly and by 2015 had expanded its client base considerably.
Today, Bla Translation comprises a strong team of 8 experienced office-based
translators, 2 administrative officers and a further pool of freelance
translators who are regularly called upon.


DEVELOPMENTS

Bla Translation prides itself in being able to develop its staff, both in terms
of professional / career development and academic achievements. The company has
financially supported staff who have undertaken postgraduate courses within the
field of translation and this will continue as we aim to continuously develop
further the experience and knowledge of our workforce.

The company also strives to improve its overall service to its clients, increase
the number of clients and to demonstrate a strong business acumen across all
areas of its work. To this end, Bla Translation was very proud to be a finalist
in the Daily Post North Wales Business Awards in 2017 and indeed won the same
award in 2018!

In 2023, Bla Translation celebrated its tenth year in business, and what better
way to celebrate our special milestone than being named Translation Company of
the Year by the Association of Translation Companies - a highly respected
achievement within the UK and European translation industry.


WELSH LANGUAGE TRANSLATION SERVICE

The range of translations undertaken is vast and Bla Translation works closely
with clients from public, private and academic sectors as well as third sector
organisations. From posters and banners to large scale reports and manifestos,
Bla Translation offers a professional, punctual and accurate service at
competitive rates. Proof reading and editorial work is also offered.

All enquiries are dealt with promptly, and overnight and weekend work are
comfortably accommodated at no additional cost to the client.

Bla Translation offers a ‘credit’ system in addition to its standard invoice
based translation service. This enables many clients to submit short pieces of
work on a regular basis against translation credits which are replenished as
they are used up. This prevents the clients having to face constant invoicing
for small sums.

The company prides itself in being extremely adaptable. A translation request is
often a race against time, a forgotten element of a project that needs to be
ready tomorrow, or even today – Bla Translation is normally able to meet all
unreasonable deadlines! The typical daily work can range from punchy marketing
strap-lines for a leading UK supermarket to an academic glossary of wildlife
species, an introduction to an opera production or an extensive local authority
planning strategy.

Regardless of the task in hand, the key lies in translating meaning and to
understand the author’s intentions and viewpoint. Care is also taken to ensure
that the translation adheres to local dialects or linguistic nuances whenever
this is requested by the client.

Bla Translation offers reasonable and competitive rates and can provide price
estimates without any obligation. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Most of the staff are individual members of Cymdeithas Cyfieithwyr Cymru with
others beginning that journey and the company is a corporate member of the
internationally acclaimed Institute of Translation and Interpreting as well as a
member of the Association of Translation Companies (ATC) and ELIA (European
Language Industry Association).
