Business Translation Services
Gotham Lab provides professional business translation services NYC corporations, global brands, and marketing agencies depend on for accurate, culturally precise multilingual communication. Whether you are expanding into new international markets, serving multilingual communities across the New York metropolitan area, or managing large-scale corporate content operations, our in-house translation team delivers language solutions that protect your brand voice and drive real business results.
Our business translation New York clients include Fortune 500 corporations, financial institutions, advertising agencies, PR firms, nonprofit organizations, and startups entering foreign markets for the first time. Every business translation project is assigned to a native-speaking linguist selected for expertise in your specific industry — not a generalist translator — ensuring that the terminology, tone, and cultural nuance of your content are preserved precisely in every target language.
Business translation services at Gotham Lab cover corporate communications and internal documentation, marketing and advertising materials, annual reports and investor relations content, press releases and media materials, brand guidelines and style documentation, product catalogs and sales materials, website content and digital marketing copy, and multilingual corporate training materials. Every project undergoes a two-stage quality review — translation by a specialist linguist followed by independent editing by a second qualified reviewer — before delivery.
All business translation projects are conducted under strict non-disclosure agreements as a standard part of our process. Confidentiality is not optional when your content includes proprietary business information, unreleased marketing campaigns, financial data, or strategic communications. Your content stays within our in-house team from intake through final delivery — never shared, never outsourced.
Legal Translation Services
Gotham Lab provides certified legal translation services for law firms, corporate legal departments, government agencies, and individuals requiring legally accurate translations of contracts, court documents, patents, compliance materials, immigration paperwork, and international legal correspondence.
Our legal translators are native speakers with formal legal training or extensive experience in legal translation — they understand the precise terminology, document structure, and jurisdictional nuances that separate an acceptable legal translation from one that holds up in court or before a regulatory authority. Every legal translation is reviewed by a second specialist before delivery.
We provide certified translations accepted by US courts, government agencies, USCIS, academic institutions, and international legal bodies. Notarized translations are available on request. All legal translation projects are conducted under strict non-disclosure agreements as a standard part of our process — confidentiality is not optional in our practice.
Academic & scholastic document translation
Academic institutions, licensing boards, and professional certification bodies in the United States require certified translations of all foreign-language academic credentials before processing applications for admission, licensure, or credential evaluation. Gotham Lab provides certified translations of foreign diplomas, university transcripts, grade records, professional certifications, and letters of recommendation accepted by US universities, the National Student Clearinghouse, credential evaluation agencies including WES and ECE, state licensing boards, and professional associations. All academic translations preserve the original document structure, formatting, and grading scale notations exactly as issued by the originating institution.
Immigration & government document translation
Gotham Lab provides certified translation services for all immigration-related documentation submitted to USCIS, the US Department of State, US embassies and consulates, and immigration courts. Our certified translations meet all federal agency formatting and accuracy requirements and are accepted without revision. Documents we regularly translate for immigration purposes include passports and national identity documents, birth and marriage certificates, divorce decrees, police clearance records, financial affidavits, and foreign court judgments. Every immigration translation is delivered with a signed certificate of accuracy — ready for submission with no additional preparation required.
Document Translation Services
Gotham Lab provides certified document translation services for personal documents, official records, and business documentation. Our document translations are accepted by government agencies, courts, academic institutions, immigration authorities, and international organizations worldwide.
Document types we translate include birth certificates, marriage and divorce certificates, death certificates, passports and identification documents, academic transcripts and diplomas, immigration paperwork and USCIS submissions, business licenses and corporate records, medical records and healthcare documentation, financial statements and banking documents, and real estate and property records.
All certified document translations are completed by qualified human translators and include a signed statement of translation accuracy. Notarized translations and apostille services are available for documents requiring official authentication for international use.
Gotham Lab provides professional technical translation services for engineering firms, technology companies, manufacturers, and industrial organizations requiring precise, terminology-consistent translations of complex technical content. Technical translation demands not just linguistic fluency but subject-matter expertise — our technical translators are selected for their professional background in the relevant field.
Our technical translation services cover product manuals and user guides, engineering specifications and technical drawings, safety documentation and compliance materials, scientific research papers and reports, technical marketing content, and software documentation. We use terminology management tools and translation memory technology to ensure consistency across large technical translation projects with recurring terminology requirements.
Gotham Lab provides specialized translation services for the film, television, and entertainment industry — an area where our New York City-based team has particular depth and expertise. Film translation requires more than linguistic accuracy: it demands understanding of character voice, dramatic subtext, cultural humor, and the technical constraints of subtitle timing and lip-sync dubbing.
Our film and multimedia translation services include feature film and documentary script translation, screenplay and dialogue adaptation, subtitle script preparation for multilingual versions, voice-over and dubbing script translation, EPK and press material translation, and marketing and distribution material translation for international markets.
For filmmakers requiring complete international distribution packages, our movie localization services team provides end-to-end film localization including translation, subtitling, dubbing production, and CCSL creation through our sister company GothamCCSL.com.
Marketing Translation & Transcreation
Marketing translation and transcreation are related but distinct services — and understanding the difference is critical for international campaigns. Marketing translation adapts your existing copy into the target language with cultural sensitivity. Transcreation goes further: it recreates the marketing message from the ground up in the target language, preserving the emotional impact, brand tone, and persuasive intent of the original without being constrained by literal translation.
Gotham Lab provides both services for advertising agencies, global brands, and marketing teams launching multilingual campaigns. Our transcreation team includes native-speaking copywriters with marketing backgrounds — not just translators — ensuring that your taglines, slogans, campaign copy, and brand messaging land with the same force in Spanish, French, German, Japanese, or Arabic as they do in English.
We work on digital and social media campaigns, television and radio advertising, print and outdoor advertising, brand identity materials, and direct marketing content. Every transcreation project is reviewed by a senior linguist and a marketing specialist before delivery.
Medical & Healthcare Translation
Gotham Lab provides accurate medical translation services for healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, clinical research organizations, and public health institutions. Medical translation demands the highest standard of accuracy — errors in medical content can have direct consequences for patient safety and regulatory compliance.
Our medical translators are native speakers with formal medical or pharmaceutical training or extensive experience in healthcare translation. All medical translation projects undergo dual review — translation by a specialist linguist and validation by a second medically qualified reviewer — before delivery.
Medical translation services cover clinical trial documentation and patient informed consent forms, medical device instructions and IFUs, pharmaceutical labeling and packaging, patient education materials, hospital and clinic communications, medical research papers, healthcare compliance documentation, and public health materials for multilingual communities.
