Translation is a form of communication that allows us to communicate the meaning of a source language into a specified target language of your choice. Sworn translation is the same as a basic translation however the linguist will certify the faithfulness of the translation with an authority similar to that of a notary public. Localisation is the way we translate your product into different languages or adapt a product for the use in a different country so that you can still send the same message without changing the meaning. Internationalization and localization is the translation of computer software specifically for the use in other environments, countries, nations and cultures. There are localization options for many communication fields such as Radio Navigation, Gaming, Dub (Television) and Satellite. Transcription is the process of taking a sound recording and documenting it in its written form. This process is often used so that sound recordings can be understood in other language.

With trips to Johannesburg already behind us we had a very successful time building new relationships and meeting new faces! It seems the Oil & Gas Industry does not stand still over Christmas time and our team of French and Portuguese linguists had their hands full! We also moved into the Social Media world in January, where things got a bit technical but the translators were such good sports! A business can certainly go without translation services. Many businesses and companies do, if they only plan a niche market limited within a certain area. A local business that serves only a local clientele can go through its natural lifespan without ever needing a translation. But these days, businesses are going global and more and more companies want to branch out and serve people all over the world. Every industry and business that operates across language, cultural and country lines requires translation services, but there are some industries that rely on them more than others. Some of the most commonly sought-out services include financial translation, and software localization, medical translation, legal translation, insurance translation and tourism translation. The automotive industry has a very high demand for language translation services, as cars are sold all over the world. Some of the most commonly required languages for translation include German translation, Spanish translation and Filipino translation.
