Upwords

Based in New York and staffed by a team of 11 to 50 people, Upwords works with businesses across industries such as law, healthcare, IT, marketing, corporate communications and e-learning that require multilingual content and certified translation. The agency states 23 years of experience in the field and offers certified translation services in 121 languages, positioning itself for clients who need language support tied to specific business sectors rather than generic text conversion. Client feedback referenced on its site points to companies working with the agency on an ongoing basis for translation into languages including Portuguese and Spanish. Its service offering centers on translation, machine translation, interpretation and subtitling, alongside transcreation for adapting marketing content across languages. Complementary services include audio and video transcription, electronic desktop publishing (DTP), and dubbing. On the marketing side, the agency lists multilingual SEO and copywriting as part of its offering, extending language work into search visibility and content creation rather than translation alone. Industry specialization is a stated focus: legal translation is framed around the precision required in contracts to avoid inconsistencies with legal consequences, healthcare translation is presented with attention to accuracy and regulatory/risk requirements, and e-learning localization is described as covering the full process from plain text to animation and video, aimed at maintaining a consistent learning experience across languages for training and client-facing content.
