Do your employees speak more than one language?
The directors are individually fluent in at least one other language varying through French, German and Japanese. Our employees are conversant with more than one language: they work on a daily basis managing many different languages.
However, at the end of the day there is no substitute for the real thing; the native-born translator, living in his home country, who works a translator for a living, is a professional to his or her fingertips, and who is conversant to the highest levels in the vocabulary and technology of the specific sector’s subject. Our translators write the dictionaries!
