Prestige Network launches dedicated website for Polish Language Services

6 June 2007

A dedicated website for Polish Language Services has been launched to cater for the needs of public sector organisations and businesses which interact with Polish-speaking people.

The new service has been introduced by Berkshire-based language services specialist Prestige Network because of the UK's growing Polish population.

Anthony Fleming, Director of Operations for Prestige Network, said: "We took this decision to launch a website dedicated to Polish Language Services because of the huge amount of work we now do for organisations that need to be able to communicate with Polish-speakers.

"We have seen our Polish work grow three-fold in the past year and we feel it's important to recognise that by providing a website devoted to these customers' needs.

"With the numbers of Polish people increasing in the UK, new challenges are constantly being faced by both the public and private sectors in order to cater for the needs of this part of the population. The understanding of their specific cultural needs and expectations is essential to achieving the desired level of communication between the organisations and individuals."

The new website consolidates all services provided by Prestige Network, with a Polish customer in mind. These include: English to Polish Translation, Polish to English Translation, Polish Website Localisation, Publishing in Polish and Telephone Interpreting in Polish, as well as other services besides. It will provide a unique, one-point of reference for requirements of those needing Polish language services.

Anthony said: "This is the first time we have ever developed a website targeted at a specific language sector. We are delighted to have launched this customer-focused, innovative project, which confirms our pledge to deliver excellence for our customers.

"With 16 years' experience, Prestige has earned a reputation for quality and dependability that has resulted in a strong position within the industry. It's no surprise that we should come up with something like this - we provide a comprehensive range of services in all languages and have pioneered new language technologies by responding directly to increasingly diverse challenges. It is a move which underlines our position as a market leader in providing language services."
