Translations for climbing and mountaineering
Long gone are the days when climbers and mountaineers settled on scrappy gear that was just good enough. Today, they’re after the market’s best technical equipment so they can climb higher and conquer cliffs and peaks faster, stronger and better.
In a vastly international industry, where many travel across the globe to find the best climbing seasons and spots, translating your climbing and mountaineering gear is a must.
At The Action Sports Translator, we help the world’s major outdoor sports brands scale to new heights with our laser-focused translation service for climbing and mountaineering gear.
Scanning the horizon for a sports translation agency who truly understands your customers? Your search ends here.
A TRANSLATION AGENCY
LIKE NO OTHER

At The Action Sports Translator, we scale walls and localization strategies in equal measure. Translating for climbing and mountaineering gear and apparel is second nature. We’re trained professionals with years of experience taking outdoor products to international markets, and even more years of experience at the crag.
Alpine mountaineering, trad and sport climbing, bouldering, alpinism, ice climbing – you name it, we’ve been there and done that. Most days, you’ll catch us at the local crag or working from the gym nearby. Luckily, getting chalk in our keyboards doesn’t keep our translations from being nice and clean.
MEET OUR TEAM OF
TRANSLATORS-ROCK CLIMBERS
Translation is what we do for a living. Climbing, bouldering, and mountaineering is what we do to feel alive. We know how to use a finger jam, crampons and ice axes, and how to rappel back down in style. We crave the exhilarating feeling of reaching the top and viewing the world from high above, and then doing it all over again (in spite of all the struggle and sweat).
► We tailor our translations to your brand’s voice, keeping terminology and style consistent across content and languages with state-of-the-art technology and dedicated project managers. They’ll be your partner, watching your back and helping to set your path.
► We also customize our translations to your target market, using localized SEO and drilling down into your sport’s vertical to make sure your customers can find you easily so they’re next epic climb is only an “Add to Cart” away.
► There’s nothing quite like that summit view on a clear day that takes your breath away. Or the utterly thrilling exhaustion you feel when you’ve just topped out on a particularly tricky bouldering problem. If you want those feelings to be captured in your translations, you need to work with translators who’ve experienced them firsthand. (Hey, that’s us!)
