Professional Translators and Linguists

Each professional that approaches ABC for employment must survive a meticulous review and verification of their academic performance, work history, and theoretical approaches to translation, localization, and business globalization.

With few exceptions, every ABC translator is language and/or subject certified. Our linguists are true linguists in the academic sense: they hold Ph.D.'s in linguistics. For example, our lead Spanish linguist hails from the University of Salamanca with a Ph.D. and teaching experience in Applied Linguistics.

Certified Translators: The Reality

We have found that certification from bodies such as the American Translator's Association (ATA) demonstrates a commitment to the industry; But it does not indicate how well a translator performs her or his duty. Our experience indicates that only forty-four (44%) of the certified translators who apply to ABC have sufficient depth of experience and demonstrated ability to become part of our team. Hiring anything but the best would result in far more RFCs (Requests for Correction) by our Quality Assurance Agents, driving up localization costs.

Business-Minded Language Experts

We prefer language experts who are at once aggressive client advocates AND lovers of the target language and culture for the project at hand. This unique combination ensures clients advance quickly and target readers and target users enjoy a natural linguistic and cultural experience when they read translated materials, or use localized software, or visit a localized web site.

Hand Picked Translators and Linguists

Our professional translators are hand picked, tested, and afforded all the latest tools to ensure your translation is clear, natural, consistent, and effective editors, and Quality Assurance Agents.
