Translation Services (written communication)
At Polyglot Communications, our focus is on providing you with accurate and timely translations that go beyond being reliable, credible, and trustworthy. We take language and cultural nuances into account to ensure your intended meaning is faithfully conveyed in the target language – a process known as localization.
Our team of highly experienced translators specializes in a wide range of fields, from legal matters, contracts, and agreements to employee handbooks, educational materials, advertising campaigns, business documents, presentations, and more.
We also excel in the art of "transcreating" (translating + creating) scripts for TV and radio - adapting messages from one language to another to evoke the same emotions and implications as in the source language.
Our professional translators are either accredited by the American Translators Association (ATA) or hold degrees in translation from esteemed universities worldwide. They are not only proficient in their native language but also stay up-to-date with the latest business jargon.
With ATA Certified Translators on board, we ensure top-notch quality, having met rigorous prerequisites and passed challenging tests to become Certified Translators (CT). The ATA certification examination assesses professional translation skills, ensuring the translations we deliver meet the highest standards and are professionally usable as per your requirements.
Interpreting Services (oral/spoken communications)
At Polyglot Communications, we take pride in offering seamless interpreting services in multiple modern languages tailored to your needs. Our experienced interpreters excel in a wide range of settings, including depositions, witness testimonies, conferences, legal matters, insurance discussions, educational events, business affairs, and negotiations - ensuring smooth communication every step of the way.
Our conference interpreters are esteemed members of the AIIC (International Association of Conference Interpreters), the gold standard in conference interpreting, also known as "UN-style interpreting" or "real-time, simultaneous translation." Their rigorous admissions process guarantees the highest level of quality, professionalism, and ethics in the industry. Holding professional credentials from prestigious interpreter and translator schools worldwide, many of them are accredited with renowned international organizations like the Department of State, the United Nations, the European Union, the Federal Government of Canada, and more.
Moreover, our team includes California Certified Court Interpreters, recognized for their excellence in 13 different languages after passing the Court Interpreter Certification Examination and registering with the Judicial Council.
In line with today's demands, we also offer remote interpreter services via Zoom, providing flexibility and convenience. We can host the meetings or accommodate your preferences, even recording the sessions and sharing the recording links at your request.
