We
offer a wide range of language services covering all languages,
dialects and industries.
Textual translations
Whether your requirement
is business or personal, we at Language Solutions International,
under the watchful eye of Elizabeth herself, ensure that all work is dealt
with efficiently and accurately. We understand the importance of foreign
language sales materials and documentation, and will only employ mother
tongue specialists in your area of work.
If you are a commercial
client, we can translate your product launch mailshot or your latest consumer
handbook. As a private individual we can translate the property deeds
of your new French holiday home, wills and other legal documents and the
letters from your tax-exempt off-shore bank account!
No job is considered
too big or small, so should you have 2 paragraphs or 20,000 pages, please
feel free to contact us for a guide on pricing and turnaround.
We
do not issue price lists or quote on unseen material, and as we offer
a competitive service we are open to negotiation. Price is definitely
reflective of quality in our industry, and although sometimes our quote
will be more competitive than others, and sometimes not, you can rest
assured that you are getting the very highest quality service from us
- we can guarantee it.
In order to provide this
guarantee of high standards of service, our linguists only translate into
their own mother tongue, and all work is proof-read and thoroughly checked
by a second translator at no extra cost to yourselves!
We operate by using a
vast database of national and international linguists, and as a result
of this we are not afraid to say 'no' to those without the necessary experience
and qualifications. Just because someone has an 'A' level in French does
not mean that they are qualified to translate a tender for a 3 year business
contract!
We do operate a minimum
charge (although we'll tell you Bonjour, Guten Tag, Buenos Dias and Buon
Giorno for free!) and pricing is worked out pro rata per 1000 words, ie;
we don't round up the numbers, so that you only pay for the words that
you have had translated and no more.
Interpreting for conferences, meetings and seminars
Many corporations have requirements for large scale exhibitions or conferences
for which we at Language Solutions International can provide not
only all of the professional interpreters in all languages, but also all
of the necessary equipment that you require, all of which conforms to
ISO specification standards. We will view the venue before the event wherever
possible, and make a point of supplying only the very best, relevant equipment.
The interpreters are experts within their chosen industry and are therefore
familiar with your market and terminology. Their aim will be to provide
effective, clear communication between yourselves, your customers and
overseas contacts. We are able to provide interpreters at all venues in
this country, as well as abroad.
Foreign language secretarial/administrative support
You may wish to create a proposal for a foreign client, or keep detailed
minutes of your meeting with him or her in his/her mother tongue. We can
provide you with the appropriate person to help translate/interpret all
types of business correspondence, including presentations from and into
the language of your choice. Whether you require skilled staff for an
afternoon or long term assignments, we have experienced linguists with
administration/secretarial backgrounds.
Escorting clients, tourists and personal shoppers
Many clients and their families need to be escorted upon arrival in the
U.K, and we can provide interpreters to accompany them on various occasions.
Some people visit London to meet with specialists at Harley Street, and
need help understanding what is happening at hospital. Others may wish
to shop at the Harrods Sale with their families, or simply be escorted
to their destination from the airport. Business clients often require
an escort for a busy day visiting the bank, their lawyer, the accountant
and take in a West End show in the evening before flying home. Whatever
language they speak, a member of our team will accompany the client courteously
and professionally.
Licensed tour guides and sightseeing services
The U.K. is a source of numerous attractions for foreign visitors who
wish to explore the diverse history and culture that our country represents.
One way in which this is possible is with the help of an experienced,
mother tongue, 'Blue Badge' licensed tour guide. We can provide various
sightseeing trips, accompanied by the appropriate linguist for individuals
and groups of any size.
General interpreting
For an informal airport business meeting, a three way conference call,
or even for your wedding abroad, we can provide an experienced, qualified
linguist to assist you.
Language tuition
You may wish to learn a few phrases for an exotic holiday, brush up on
rusty and long forgotten language skills, or participate in a language
business course. Perhaps you are launching a product into a foreign market
and need to ensure that your sales team can communicate effectively with
your new customers? Whatever your requirement we can provide language
tuition for you, either as an individual, a family or a large corporate
group.
Typesetting and printing
Not only can we translate the files that you send us, or compile the reports
from a European survey for you, but we can also complete your project
by typesetting and printing copies of your translated work.
Proofreading
Proofreading of our own work by a second translator is part of the high
quality service that we provide, hence, we have the necessary experience
to proof read your own work. Perhaps you have written a 'love letter'
to someone abroad in their own tongue, and just wish to have it checked
for any 'faux pas'! As many companies choose to use their own internal
staff to do translation of company documents and marketing materials in
a vain effort to save time and money, it is often the outcome that the
translated results are less than perfect. We therefore offer a full proofreading
service by our mother tongue translators to ensure that your final document
has the professionalism that you need. Proof reading is charged at a very
competitive hourly rate, so contact us for a
quote.
Telephone interviewing
Commercial clients have diverse requirements for foreign language skills.
Many wish to conduct large scale European market research projects, and
so they come to us. We can find the telephone staff who will conduct your
survey in their mother tongue to any country, compile the results, and
translate them back into your chosen language. Perhaps you are looking
to establish a new branch of your company in a new country? Would it be
useful to have someone with excellent language skills assisting you on
the telephone setting up new offices and finding out about the competition?
Private individuals may wish to use this service to speak to Foreign Offices,
passport control, or simply reach their families who are abroad.
Web Site Translation
Now we are also offering a completely new web site translation service.
The Internet is an international medium and as so many companies wish
to reach all of their customers, in their own language via the company
web site. We can take the web site directly from your server, translate
it into any language that you wish to use, and either hand it back to
you, or upload it directly to your server again!
