CGP Books, based in Cumbria, is the UK’s leading publisher of education revision material and has sold over 60 million books.

Working against tight deadlines, The Translation People were commissioned by CGP to translate a comprehensive suite of mathematics textbooks from English into Latin American Spanish.

The project entailed the translation of three, 450-page textbooks on core subjects – mathematics and algebra, three corresponding homework books (250 pages), including worked examples, practical exercises and explanations for parents/carers and around 170 worksheets for each of the three levels.

“This was a very important project for us, because it represents our first set of state-adopted textbooks for the California education market.

“We had originally considered doing the translation ourselves but quickly realised that we needed specialist support.

“Because we had never done anything like this before, it was hard to give up control, but The Translation People gave us absolute confidence in the process. They organised a schedule that would work against our tight deadlines and delivered everything as agreed.”
