ABOUT US
Company offering translation and interpreting services into Spanish
Transrelation was founded in 2005 by Cristina Riera Canalias, a Spanish translator and conference interpreter, with the aim of offering translation and interpreting services into Spanish. Our first clients were mainly Danish or Hispanic companies that were looking to establish or boost their business activities in Denmark or Spanish-speaking countries. Over time, we have extended and adapted our range of services to meet the needs of an increasingly global and specialised market.
Transrelation is a single-member company, but it draws on the skills of a small group of professional translators who have worked together for years with the sole objective of ensuring an end product of the highest quality.

MOTHER TONGUE AND QUALITY CONTROL:
We only translate into our mother tongue, Spanish, and before delivery to the client, each piece of work is subject to a strict process of quality control overseen by a second language professional.
MISSION AND SERVICES:
Our mission is to provide our clients with flexible, top-quality solutions to their communication needs. To fulfil this mission, in addition to our professional translation and interpreting services, we offer tailor-made solutions designed to meet the various linguistic challenges that companies face, adapting to a wide range of specific circumstances.
PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE:
As a member of the Danish Association of Sworn Translators and Interpreters, the translations completed by Transrelation are covered by professional liability insurance.
PUNCTUALITY, CONFIDENTIALITY AND PERSONAL ATTENTION:
At Transrelation we pride ourselves on giving our clients a personalised service which includes direct contact with the translator, avoiding intermediaries.
All assignments are delivered within the agreed period, they are completed to the highest standards of quality, and they are treated with the strictest confidentiality, in compliance with the requirements of our profession.
