Worldwide translation company in Boston, MA


Boston is a beautiful, innovative city on the coast of America. The capital of Massachusetts, Boston is a popular destination for those interested in seeing a piece of American history. 

Although many visit Boston for the chance to see a Red Sox game at Fenway Park, tourists also saunter along the river and through the laidback streets of the city. The Museum of Fine Arts acts as a focal point for visitors, hoping to catch a glimpse of exquisite pieces from across the world. After that, they may take a tour of the Boston Brewery and drink the famous Samuel Adams lager, whilst eating Boston’s famous baked beans. 

Americans and foreign tourists alike adore the city, with a bunch of languages reverberating around Boston. It could be tourist information, aiding those looking for Monument Park, or catering for the many foreign traders who enter the docks, either way, it is essential to meet their language needs.

Industry in Boston

Art and creatives

Innovation is the pride of Boston, with the city being the first for the likes of subway systems and even the first US college. Creatives and innovative companies thrive here, outputting amazing graphic design, media, and marketing. Firms like this have a large digital emphasis, allowing for instant access to the world and trading across it. Not only does this present an issue in translating to another language, but it also brings up a whole host of contextual issues. Design isn’t constant across the world, especially when it comes to software or marketing. This is why we offer localization services that recontextualize and transcreate design, marketing, and software so that it feels right at home in another setting. We quality test and assure all of our localization efforts to ensure that incredible design and information hits home in another culture. 

Maritime and trade

With Boston being a seaside city, it brings in all manner of items, imports, and goods from abroad. These items are then transported across the country so that English speaking people can use them. Imported goods often need to jump across the bureaucratic red tape of the US, including contracts and other legal documents. Translating these can be a difficult task, requiring translation from a firm that also understands legal terminology. Not everything can translate perfectly, and having a translation company that specializes in legal translations is essential to prevent issues further down the supply chain. Our firm can aid in this challenge, providing the legal translation services necessary for trade. 

Printing and publishing

Massachusetts, including Boston, homes a great number of printing and publishing firms. These firms produce everything from books and magazines, to research journals and instructional leaflets. The vast majority only publish in English, failing to reach to the demographic of those who speak different languages - many of whom live in the USA. Even with large translation projects, we can take the words on that paper and transform it into another language, complete with the localization required for it to make sense. 100 words, or 10000 words, everything past or in between, we will get the job done right.

Languages of Boston

Boston is home to a vast language pool, mainly due to how many have immigrated from different countries over the past few centuries. Over 10% of the city’s population are immigrants, highlighting just how diverse Boston is. Only two-thirds of Bostonians speak English, or at least to a fluent level and large neighborhoods tend to contain clusters of those who speak different languages. The likes of French, Creole, and Spanish make up the largest percentage of other languages spoken in the city, with other languages such as Vietnamese and Chinese. 

Residents and companies alike require translation services constantly due to the array of languages in the city. OnTheDotTranslations goes the extra mile to guarantee that every service is met and is of the highest standard. Contact today for a no-hassle quote and further information on how we can help you.

The terminology used in the translation industry can be a source of confusion for many people. Many terms are often wrongly used interchangeably. Localization and translation are two of such terms.



Localization refers to the process of taking a product or service and making it culturally and linguistically appropriate to the target locale (language, region or country) where it will be marketed. As such, localization is a much deeper process of which translation is part of. The process usually involves target graphics, content modification to the target market, local requirement conversions, local format conversion and adherence to local laws and regulations.



This makes it a time consuming and complex process that is best handled by professionals at On the Dot Translations. To tackle localizations projects we have invested in certain aspects including expert translators, localization experts, project managers and software developers. Our localization service process involves:
