Translation
Extensive Government Past Performance
For almost 20 years, a core service of Compass Languages has been content translation. We have delivered well over 20,000 such projects involving over 200 languages and dialects. The federal government – with over 50 agencies represented – has been responsible for pushing us as a company into new solutions and establishing new capabilities for almost 15 years.
4-8 hour turnarounds for translation requiring linguistic teams to be on-call and ready.
As an example, translation and voice recordings created in (9) distinct Mayan dialects spoken in Central America.
All resources are contributing to projects: linguists, DTP, voice artists, and engineers complete with I.D. proof.

DFAR compliant process and annual independent security audits.

Trust the Human Touch at Compass Languages
Translation processes have been evolving over the past few years, with three main categories becoming more standard: 100% human TEP, machine translation with human post-editing (NMT/PE), and transcreation. There are applications for all three methodologies, but expectations for output and price need to be aligned. Compass has plenty of experience and gladly will provide the pros and cons of each.
