Mind your language! Why it’s so important to get the professionals in when it comes to translating.

I’m sure we’ve all seen incidences where translations go wrong; these are often hilarious to the passer-by, but if it’s your business which is hampered by literal translations which make no sense, it’s no laughing matter.

There are many instances where companies think that by saving money on translation and interpreting services they’ll end up being better off in the long run, but this simply isn’t true. When you consider how fast developing markets are growing, translations are a vitally important part of building a business. It would be really bad for business if the instructions you had sent to Brazil in order to build a new machine made no sense in Portuguese and took longer to construct, or even worse, was built badly and didn’t work properly, meaning  your business would be losing money and time against your competitors.

This is why it’s vital to bring in translators you can trust, at the Language Club, we only use trusted translators from our bank, who all work quickly and accurately to provide you with high-quality translations and interpretations to help your business get to where you want it to be.
