Translation

From its inception, Language Creations has leveraged its resources to fashion a team with an exceptional forte: translation into English. Moreover, with native US and UK project managers who double as in-house linguists, we are ideally positioned to provide both standalone English proofing and a final proofreading step for translation projects from other source languages, as well as translation and revision from French, German and Polish.

This expertise complements and reinforces our trusted network of native English translators, which spans the globe and a number of fields, disciplines, and languages. Conversely, we also have the international talent to provide native speaker translations from English into a variety of world languages upon request.

In addition to standard files like Microsoft Word or Excel, we are also equipped to handle more challenging file types for desktop publishing, IT or market research surveys. Whatever the format, our work flow—across project management, translation, automated checks, and quality assurance (QA)—means that the file we return to you is ready for publication, launch, or personal use.

In addition to general copy and texts dealing with broader issues, from academic abstracts on geopolitical issues and annual reports to conference presentations and children’s books, we also support our clients with more specialized translation requests. Keep reading for more info.

LEGAL TRANSLATION

Working on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean means that we regularly assist both American and European clients with their legal translation needs, be they certified translations of immigration documents bound for United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), European Union reports, contracts, birth, death, and marriage certificates, articles of incorporation, data protection (GDPR), terms of reference for procurement, confidentiality agreements, purchase agreements, as well as excerpts from official records, among others.

Once this initial step is completed, our revisers carry out a nuanced review of the documents before delivery, guaranteeing translations that are devoid of mistakes, misinterpretations, or ambiguities.

MARKETING TRANSLATION

While many companies deploy effective marketing campaigns in their home countries, they often stumble when venturing into foreign markets, where verbatim translations of their native marketing materials simply don’t achieve the same impact or meaning. Worse yet, they can even offend the target audience, or be hilariously out of touch.

Our marketing translation team polishes your marketing texts—from product and service descriptions to large-scale business presentations and more—going beyond simple translation to provide localization, including brand name/disaster checks, to ensure that your message shines both linguistically and culturally in a given target market.

CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS TRANSLATION

Effective communication is the key to any successful business, no matter where you operate.

From complicated contracts and legal notices to both internal and external marketing and PR materials, such as press releases, company news articles, newsletters, bulletins, flyers, product launches, crisis communications and more, we’re ready to help you cultivate your corporate image the way you want to, at all levels of your business.

TECHNICAL TRANSLATION

We have significantly expanded our technical translation capabilities to include HVAC, machinery and electronics user manuals and brochures from English into a variety of world languages, often provided in tandem with our in-house desktop publishing service, which means that our clients receive properly-formatted materials that are ready for distribution upon delivery.
