I have worked directly with football clubs, federations and sports organisations, as well as through leading translation agencies on large-scale multilingual projects.My experience covers a wide range of football content, from club communications and editorial features to subtitling, marketing material and digital content.Can you translate marketing material?Absolutely.

For document translation, I use SDL Trados Studio, the industry-standard computer-assisted translation (CAT) software.CAT tools don't translate the text for the translator. Instead, they help maintain consistency across terminology, names and recurring phrases, which is especially valuable for clubs, federations and organisations with established style guides. They also improve efficiency on large projects while ensuring quality remains consistent from start to finish.For subtitling projects, I work with professional cloud-based platforms that provide secure collaboration and safeguard project data throughout the production process.What are your turnaround times?Turnaround times depend on the size and complexity of the project, but I understand that football rarely works to a nine-to-five schedule.As a guide:Up to 1,000 words or approximately 20 minutes of video can often be delivered on the same day, subject to availability.
Larger projects are scheduled according to your deadline and project requirements.
Urgent requests are always welcome, and I'll do my best to accommodate them whenever possible.
If you have a tight deadline, get in touch and I'll let you know how quickly I can help.Why choose a specialist football translator?Football has its own language, culture and rhythm. Translating it accurately requires more than linguistic ability; it requires an understanding of the game itself.With over eight years' professional translation experience and hands-on coaching experience, I understand football terminology, tactical concepts and the way clubs and media communicate. Whether you're publishing a match report, launching a marketing campaign or subtitling an interview, you'll receive English that sounds authentic, engaging and written for football audiences.

AI & Football Translation

Artificial intelligence has become a valuable part of the translation industry, and when used appropriately, it can improve efficiency, consistency and turnaround times.However, football is more than just words. It has its own terminology, culture and style of communication. A literal translation may miss the meaning behind tactical analysis, dressing-room language, supporter culture or club identity.As an experienced football translator and coach, I combine specialist knowledge with professional translation tools to produce English that feels natural, accurate and written for football audiences.For projects where speed or budget is a priority, I'm also happy to discuss AI-assisted workflows. I can review, edit and refine AI-generated translations, or tailor a hybrid approach that balances quality, efficiency and cost while ensuring the final content meets professional standards.Every project is different, and I'm always happy to recommend the most suitable workflow for your needs.
