Simple Translation
Our simple translations involving English—whether from a non-English language into English or from English into another language—are designed for basic communication needs. These translations are completed by a single translator without additional editing or proofreading, and thus should not be considered final or polished work for most professional or formal use cases. While typically of high quality, simple translations are essentially "rough drafts" that do not undergo further quality control processes. They are ideal for personal letters, informal communications, initial drafts for later revision, or situations where you need to quickly grasp the general meaning of a text in or from English.
Standard Translation (TEP)
Our Standard English Translation service ensures high-quality translations for everyday use, such as business correspondence, websites, reports, and presentations. This service includes translation, editing, and proofreading (TEP) to guarantee accuracy and clarity, whether translating into English from another language or from English into a non-English language.
Organization Critical Translation (TEP+)
Our Organization Critical English Translation service is designed for situations where precision is paramount. Recommended for large-scale printing, technical documents, legal contracts, medical texts, or any scenario where errors could be costly, this service involves review by at least three linguists and multiple rounds of proofreading. Subject matter experts (SMEs) may be included as needed throughout the TEP process, ensuring perfection in translations both into and from English.
Bilingual Editing
Bilingual Editing for English Translation involves editing a translated text by comparing the source and target languages—whether English is the source or target. Our editors, fluent in both languages and native in the target language, ensure accuracy, consistency, and fidelity to the source while maintaining fluency in the target language. This step is part of our TEP process for Organization Critical and Standard Translation services and is also available as a standalone option for translations completed outside Green Crescent.
Proofreading
Our proofreading service for translations involving English—whether into English or from English—reviews a single-language text to correct surface-level errors like spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting inconsistencies. As the final step in our TEP process, it’s also offered standalone for texts translated by others, bringing documents closer to perfection with each review.
Legal Translation
Green Crescent’s elite linguists, with expertise in legal fields, handle translations of judicial, administrative, and private legal documents involving English—both into English from other languages and from English into non-English languages.

English is spoken by over 1.5 billion people worldwide, making it the most widely used language globally. It serves as an official language in 67 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and numerous nations in Africa and Asia, and is a key language in international organizations like the United Nations and NATO.
Where is English Spoken?
English is an official language in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and Singapore, among others. It also has significant speaker populations in non-official contexts globally, from Europe to Southeast Asia, due to its role in business, technology, and culture.
English Variations and Their Cultural Contexts
English varies widely by region, with distinct differences in vocabulary, spelling, and pronunciation. American English, dominant in the U.S., drives global media and technology, while British English, rooted in the UK, carries historical prestige in literature and academia. Canadian English blends influences from both, while Australian and New Zealand English reflect unique cultural identities. Indian English, shaped by multilingualism, and South African English, with its Dutch and indigenous influences, further showcase the language’s adaptability. Green Crescent ensures your translations align with the specific English variation your audience expects.
Key Linguistic Considerations for English Translation
Translating into or from English involves navigating its flexibility and variations:
- Spelling and Vocabulary: British "colour" vs. American "color," or "lorry" vs. "truck."
- Tone and Formality: English formality varies by context and region, unlike languages with strict formal/informal pronouns.
- Idioms: Phrases like "kick the bucket" require cultural equivalents in other languages.
- Word Order: English’s rigid SVO (subject-verb-object) structure contrasts with freer word orders in some languages.
Green Crescent’s translators expertly handle these nuances, ensuring your content is precise and culturally attuned, whether into English or from English into another language.
