Foreign Language Translation Services

Before you hire a foreign language translation service, it's important to identify your objectives. Companies translate official documents and internal publications into foreign languages for a variety of reasons. At American Language Services, we work closely with our clients to achieve their international communication goals.

One of our main goals when translating documents into a foreign language is to create a unified look and feel to the final presentation. You worked hard to develop your technical materials and marketing materials, and we make a focused and targeted effort to ensure that the integrity of your documents is conveyed properly during the translation process.

Our Foreign Language Translation Services Emphasize Localization

While some companies merely translate documents into other languages, we take into account the target audience through a process called localization. Although your documents may have been written with an American audience in mind, we make sure they are appealing to people in countries all over the world. When you hire our foreign language translation services, our native speaking translators pay careful attention to cultural differences, and the meanings behind every word they select.

We use human translators rather than relying on machine translations or computer generated translation services. While automated techniques may seem convenient, they are far from accurate. The error occurrence rates of these methods are between 25 and 30 percent. Also, experts estimate that more mistakes are made due to cultural differences than technical errors in the translation process. Our translators are trained to pay attention to things like regional dialects, offensive words, and misleading phrases, to create a universally understood final document. In addition to a single translation, a second set of eyes, our project managers, review all translations for accuracy and tone.
