Linguistic Services
V&L International offers linguistic services in more than 250 languages, using highly-skilled and accredited translators and interpreters with additional expertise in a range of subject areas. All V&L linguists are native speakers of the target language. Aside from this central qualification, many are court-certified, university graduates and experts in a specific field. With access to more than 20,000 qualified linguists and a staff of 200 associates, V&L is able to select the best language expert to meet the needs of your project.
Whether a document is a legally binding contract, a creative piece, a software manual or anything in between, V&L's translation services support your company's globalization. After receiving your document, V&L's project management staff assesses its requirements based on source and target languages, document formats, subject matter and a number of additional factors. Based on this review, V&L's project manager assigns the translation project to the best possible linguist given its specific requirements, and supervises the project through its completion and final delivery to the client.
The translation process includes editing and proofreading by different language specialists. In addition to linguistics, V&L editors and proofreaders consider other aspects related to the target language, such as cultural and political aspects, economic factors, language conventions, and market requirements of the target language. In the case of formal documents, especially legal, V&L uses a second linguist to proofread and edit to ensure the highest degree of accuracy. Our thorough quality control process ensures a perfect document every time.
V&L prides itself on applying the highest caliber of linguistic skill to each and every translation project. In fact, V&L regards language as its cornerstone. With language as our base, we add technical and artistic capabilities to make our range of services possible.
International business often comes down to interpersonal communication, with rapidfire subtlety and nuance. To enable instant, bidirectional understanding, V&L offers simultaneous and consecutive interpreting services for an extensive range of business functions.
As with our translators, our interpreters are native speakers. In addition, they are court-certified, accredited experts in appropriate subject areas, experienced with the latest interpreting equipment. V&L can assign interpreters both domestically and internationally for the following types of projects:
- Executive briefings
- Conferences and seminars
- Tradeshows
- Business meetings
- Teleconferences
- Delegations and negotiations
- Arbitration and trials
- Depositions
- Manufacturing and marketing tours
- Simulcast television or radio
For larger events that require instant communication from a speaker to an audience, V&L provides a team of simultaneous interpreters. This allows event attendees to follow the proceedings in their native language, and even ask questions of the speaker. For more intimate business meetings, V&L may recommend a consecutive interpreter that acts as a liaison between the attendees. In such a setting, V&L places emphasis on the social skills of the interpreter as well as on appropriate linguistic capabilities and subject expertise.
Providing convenience and quality to our clients, V&L maintains state-of-the-art equipment for use in any interpreting project as well as toll-free teleconferencing facilities. Combining these technical resources with our linguistic experts, V&L's interpreting services make global business possible on an interpersonal level.
