Should we receive any feedback which shows a quality rating below 8 the Head of our Quality Division will immediately contact the customer to find out what went wrong and why before ensuring that the same issue will not arise again.

Get Quote by Phone Contact by eMail Contact by Mail "You are always on top of everything. The translation is perfect and the service is first class!" - Ron Bar CITIGROUP Legal Translation is Not a Simple Task Be sure to select your translation vendor carefully. Only professional translators specializing in legal translation ­ preferably those with formal judicial and legal education and experience -- should translate legal documents and intellectual writings. The mistranslation of a simple passage in a contract, for example, could lead to disastrous consequences, lawsuits, and devastating financial ramifications. When translating a text within the field of law, the translation team should keep the following in mind. The legal system of the source text is structured in a way that suits that culture and this is reflected in the legal language; similarly, the target text is to be read by someone who is familiar with another legal system and its language. Most forms of legal writing, and contracts in particular, seek to establish clearly defined rights and duties for certain individuals and organizations. It is essential to ensure precise correspondence of these rights and duties in the source text and in the translation. Apart from terminological or lexical gaps, the translator, or translation team under our processes, may focus on the following aspects. Textual conventions in the source language are often culture-dependent and may not correspond to conventions in the target culture. Linguistic structures that are often found in the source language have no direct equivalent structures in the target language. The translator therefore has to find target language structures with the same functions as those in the source language. That is why ASTA-USA only recruits the best and most experienced legal translators. No other translation company in the United States can boast the following translation personnel statistics and qualifications.

Services are offered in more than 60 languages. Language Innovations' primary service is written translation. The company also provides oral interpreting services, foreign language desktop publishing, transcription, website translation and video dubbing and subtitling. Certification of accuracy is provided upon request. Our translators, editors, interpreters and support personnel are experienced in serving a broad range of subjects and industries, including finance, legal, telecom, medical, general business, marketing, power & energy, pharmaceutical, nonprofits and many other technical and commercial subjects. Technical Approach to Translation: Each assignment is executed by a native speaker of the target language with experience in the specific subject of the material at hand. The vast majority of our translators and editors are accredited by the American Translators Association and hold degrees in translation/linguistics, in addition to degrees in specific fields of specialization, i.e., law, medicine, marketing, finance, international business, etc. Each translation includes editing, proofreading and final verification that all client specifications have been met. When specific formatting and/or desktop publishing is required, we incorporate the appropriate bi-lingual personnel accordingly. Additionally, when appropriate, we create a glossary of terms and definitions. Once this glossary is established, it remains a living document. It will be updated and modified over time with each subsequent project. The glossary is an invaluable tool in the translation process and provides consistency of phrasing and terminology from one project to the next. For each interpretation project one (1) Project Manager is assigned to coordinate all of the details and specifications of the assignment. Examples of items for consideration are: date(s) and location(s), mode of interpreting, number of languages, background materials for interpreters, points of contact, equipment (if necessary), advance preparation of translated materials, travel and lodging accommodations. In addition to the details noted above, having an understanding of our client's goals and concerns is a top priority of ours. Maintaining a closely-knit mode of communication with our clients is paramount to a successful business relationship between our companies. The combination of clear and open lines of communication, glossaries, qualified translators and personal service results in consistently accurate translations, timely delivery and satisfied customers.
