Document Translation

by

The community education project

Documents translated from English to Spanish and vice versa by native Spanish speakers; not a computer program or someone who isn’t familiar with nuances and the different meanings a non-native Spanish speaker could miss. Translation consists of taking information which has been written in one language and conveying it in writing into another language while preserving its meaning and cultural appropriateness. Our document translation is professional, reliable, cost-effective, and personalized with quick turnaround time. Serve your Spanish-speaking constituents and ensure regulatory compliance by translating with us.

GROWING NEED FOR SPANISH DOCUMENTS

Spanish is, by far, the most spoken non-English language in the U.S. The number of Spanish speakers in the U.S. has grown rapidly in recent decades, reflecting the arrival of new immigrants from Latin America and growth in the nation’s Hispanic population. Today 34.8 million Hispanics ages 5 and older speak Spanish at home. We aim to increase equitable access to information by removing barriers to communication for native Spanish speakers. Having your documents translated to Spanish provides a more inclusive environment for your business, nonprofit organization, and a large segment of our population.
