Translation Services for a Government Agency

Language Connections recently provided translation services to help local governments during the coronavirus outbreak. Projects that confront virus-related challenges present a unique obstacle, as many if not all will contain information subject to change. However, Language Connections was uniquely situated to produce an accurate translation. In addition to maintaining a longstanding relationship with this client, Language Connections paced the project so that we would be able to move forward with the next steps of the process as soon as the client was ready to do so on their end.

Timely Translation Services

Language Connections always emphasizes the need for consistency and clarity when producing a professional translation. However, as local governments transition through different phases of quarantine, the pandemic has also underscored the importance of timing. Information reaches people at different times due to several variables that are not always possible to control for. The government for a major city also makes decisions that impact people living outside district lines. For those reasons, we committed to an ongoing project involving 24/7 translation services to provide quick turnaround times. The Covid-19 pandemic has proved that urban planning cannot be neglected, and so we worked knowing the translation we provided needed to be both accurate as well as current.

Translation Services for a City of Thousands

Drawing from Language Connection’s vast experience in healthcare translation, we approached this as a human planning problem. Reader comprehension is essential when health is concerned, and given the circumstances the health of one person ensures the health of everyone they come in to contact with. Because people come from different educational backgrounds, our translation services prioritized simple sentence structure and diction so that important materials could reach as many people as possible. Information needed to reach people in the city’s local communities that speak foreign languages, so we produced these translations in 10 different languages as per the client’s request. According to Leo Galperin, President of Language Connections, “placing the client’s needs at the forefront of every project is what sets Language Connections apart from its peers in the language services industry and makes it the best translation company in the greater Boston area.” Our work ensured that as public spaces begin to open, safety will remain a priority.

Results of Our Translation Services

Because of Language Connections’ extensive experience, tight turnarounds were never an issue for our excellent team of translators. As a result, our team was able to complete its projects quickly and to a high degree of accuracy that the client found to be quite satisfactory. Part of the success of our translation services was due to our attention to detail for captions for graphs and charts, which we translated without distorting the existing images in the process. A picture is worth a thousand words, and translating documents and corresponding images made the information accessible to a greater percentage of people.
