Poland has a population of over 38 million people.
A nation with a proud cultural heritage, Poland can trace its roots back over 1,000 years. Positioned at the centre of Europe, it has known turbulent and violent times. There have been periods of independence as well as periods of domination by other countries. Several million people, half of them Jews, died in World War II.

At Prestige Network, we believe in integration via equality. We provide numerous public and private sector organisations all across the UK with a variety of professional language services. In doing so, we create a forum for individuals to be understood in their native language, and also to take advantage of all the services and benefits that other UK residents are entitled to; making effective, positive integration possible.

Poland became a full member of the European Union in May 2004. Since then, many Polish nationals have arrived in the UK to take advantage of the higher wages paid by companies here. In order to cope with the need for language translation, language companies have found that there has been a great increase in the demand for their Polish Language Services and have had to increase their resources accordingly.

Prestige has taken a leading initiative with regard to providing for the needs of the growing Polish Community in the UK and has created an in-house Polish Language Support Desk with access to over 250 Polish Language specialists located right across the UK; making it possible for Prestige to meet your Polish Language needs with confidence.

Aim: To enable the Financial Mail on Sunday to engage with its Polish readers by translating a special supplement on ‘Poles in Britain’ into Polish and providing a Polish translation of an online forum

Project Outline: An innovative translation service project which involved translating into Polish – within a matter of days – 6,000 words of a Financial Mail on Sunday report highlighting the financial aspect of the sizeable Polish population currently in the UK.

The Polish translation of the supplement was made available on the Financial Mail on Sunday’s website at www.thisismoney.co.uk/a-thisismoney-special and also appeared subsequently in print in the Polish Express.

Publication of the supplement was followed by an online forum on the subject on the Financial Mail on Sunday website, which was also translated into Polish for the website by Prestige Network.

The project means that the Financial Mail on Sunday has become what is believed to be the first national newspaper in the UK to provide a supplement in Polish.

Prestige Remarks that “This kind of innovation is a great way of engaging people from other cultures, helping them not to feel disenfranchised. We felt hugely privileged to be approached to enable the Financial Mail on Sunday to be the first national newspaper to produce a supplement in Polish. It was very satisfying to be involved in such an initiative.”

And the customer says “This was a very exciting project. Prestige Network worked well with us and got behind the spirit of the initiative, which was to do something innovative to engage a growing part of the population. We’ve had a lot of very positive feedback on the project and we are already planning to do another one.”
