Translation

As truly global communicators, we are able to speak virtually any language. Our translators are all native speakers of the target language and have industry specific qualifications. This intimate relationship with the language ensures that your materials will be meaningful across cultural and linguistic boundaries. We use the same translator for all related projects to ensure consistency and quality. Our translators use cutting-edge computer based translation tools to build a database of translated sentences and terms reducing the need to retranslate repetitive text within a document or between documents.

No project leaves our office without meeting the highest standards of quality, accuracy and consistency.

The Geo Group alerted American Family to the potential risk of confusing non-English speaking children using P.A.S.S. in an emergency situation. To address the issue, The Geo Group developed a workable acronym in Spanish, substituting different words but retaining the key procedural steps. J.A.A.R. became the meaningful Spanish equivalent
