Translation has led me to study a wide range of topics, from corporate insurance policies to allergy diagnosis. It is this tested ability to turn my hand to almost any domain that is indeed one of my greatest assets, coupled with wide experience in providing solutions for a range of client needs. However, to offer a higher quality of service than a "Jack of all trades, Master of none", I am increasingly focusing on the following areas of specialisation:

- Business Communication, including Corporate Strategy & Business Plans, general Finance & Accounting, Labour Law, and HR with specific expertise in field of Continued Training
- Current Affairs & Newsmedia
- Telcos & NICTs
- Arts & Entertainment, with experience in music and Sound Design
- Gastronomy & Modern Lifestyles, from gourmet food and wines to the online community



5Q Translations is myself, Matthew Langsley, British national and graduate of Oxford University with a Masters in Modern Languages (French & German). I recently began as a full-time freelance translator after four years in the English Language Training sector, progressing from Teacher to Quality Controller and then Operations Manager in a large French training organisation.

Today, I continue to offer consultancy services to a number of training providers developing new projects and products, particularly in the growing sector of e-learning. My goal is to apply the same high standard of professional communication skills to your translation projects as I give my clients in the various strategic studies and development reports published by 5Q, and to nurture an open, fruitful and on-going relationship with you, the client.

The name 5Q was chosen to represent this approach - Quality, Quantity, Quickness, Quietness and Qui Vive?, the essential elements that you require to succeed in professional communication. Quite simply, with the service 5Q provides, your only comment need be 'Thankyou, 5Q'.
