DOCUMENT TRANSLATION (SIN 541930)

The communication of the meaning of text from one language to another in written form.

OUR LINGUISTS

Global Languages & Cultures, Inc. exclusively uses native speaking linguists certified by the

American Translator’s Association. These individuals are experts in their fields – which include

Education, Life Sciences, Government, Insurance, Financial & More. Their language and subject knowledge enable them to translate not only words, but also the tone and the style of the original documents. This ensures that your translated materials are as effective as the originals and that they convey an understanding of the language and culture at hand.

GLC qualified linguists have a minimum of three years of translation & interpretation experience, a college degree and/or certified by an accredited organization as well as receiving additional quality verification including language assessments to ensure that they meet GLC’s high expectations of quality, professionalism, and customer service. Translators and Interpreters are selected from professional associations (e.g., the American Translators Association) and other similar directories of qualified individuals whose credentials are readily available. Once deemed qualified, these translators and interpreters are evaluated and re-evaluated on two criteria: (1) error-free performance primarily based on a set of cross-checks and signoffs and (2) on-time performance to commitment as per project management methods.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

More than just words are involved in a comprehensive translation of a document. For a complete translation attention must be paid to:

• Numerical Values

• Units of Measurement

• Date & Time System

• Telephone Numbers

• Country-specific References

• Cultural Verification

At GLC we fully understand the complexity of translation and have developed a process that results in translated documents that read as if they were written in the target language. The key to our quality assurance is the fact that a second qualified translator reviews the translation and our in-house project management & desktop publishing staff proof finalize documents before they are released.

INTERPRETATION (SIN 541930)

Communication between different languages verbally or via sign language.

Interpretation is a complex endeavor. Linguists must be able to respond immediately with the correct word or phrase – there is no room for errors, and revisions are not possible. Global Languages &

Cultures, Inc. is prepared to provide expert interpreters across the globe under strict deadlines. Our capabilities also include sign language, for the hearing impaired, and telephonic for cost-effective, long-distance interpretation.

THERE ARE TWO BASIC TYPES OF INTERPRETATION:

CONSECUTIVE

The interpreter stands next to the source-language speaker and speaks after the source -language speaker has paused. The speech/conversation is divided into segments – an alternation between the source-language speaker’s statements and the interpreter’s rendering in the target language.

SIMULTANEOUS

The interpreter renders the message in the target language from the source language, while the source language speaker continuously speaks. This method of interpretation involves professional equipment for proper execution. The interpreter sits in a soundproof booth with a microphone while the target language listeners receive the message via headphones.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

GLC implements a rigorous process for the selection of each interpreter. We consider not only the target language but also the location of the project, the expertise that is necessary, and the nature of the assignment so that your interpreter is a perfect match for your needs.
