International translation service recommendation

Okay, more than a bit leftfield I realise, but does anyone use a translation company in the course of their work?

Just started doing the marketing at a global software company. There are frequently translation requirements - English to predominantly a dozen or so other common languages - for brochures, newsletters etc, and at some point this year we'll probably need a new website which is available in multiple languages. Until now they have farmed it out piece by piece and I'm wondering if it may be cheaper to have a company on retainer.

Anyone?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
