The Critical Issue of Certification in Business Language Translation

Engaged in Global Business?  Here’s What to Look for to Ensure Accurate Communications

The world is a huge marketplace – and language disconnects have a significant impact on business opportunities and operations, according to one study.

This is why Salvador Ordorica, CEO and founder of The Spanish Group, an Inc. 5000-recognized global language translation service, is strongly committed to advocating for certified translations from native speakers with relevant business experience to ensure seamless, accurate and business-driving communication success.

To support this goal, Ordorica has announced that its global language and localization enterprise is now ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17100:2015 Certified.  

What does this mean?  This certification verifies the premium quality and confidentiality of its translation and localization services, ensuring accuracy and cultural relevancy.

From legal, trade and business communications to human resources and other key issues, an AI-powered translation tool can not compete with expert human translation, particularly when the translator is skilled in the industry he or she is translating on behalf of.

“To earn these ISO certifications, a translation service has to demonstrate that it has verified quality improvement systems, with yearly internal and external audits, along with full compliance with information management protocols to maintain document confidentiality,” explains the Spanish Group Founder and CEO Salvador Ordorica. “These are highly selective certifications that most translation services cannot obtain, and I think it all starts with a commitment to using humans – not AI – for the best results.”

Businesses should look for language translation services that use highly trained linguistics pros and ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17100:2015 Certificates. 

There are three reasons, in particular, why The Spanish Group recommends looking for these hallmarks of excellence: 

• Accuracy:  the best possible, culturally correct translations and localizations
• Quality:  these tough requirements ensure not only accuracy but also a premium translation experience
• Expertise:  of real humans with real-world, industry-specific experience

The Spanish Group has translated more than 20 million documents, and in addition to its certifications is USCIS-approved. The company offers translation and localization in more than 90 languages by professional translators all over the globe who are native speakers and deeply experienced specialists in various fields. Every translation is then proofread by another specially trained linguistic professional employing strict quality control measures to ensure complete accuracy.

The Importance of Certification in Business Language Translation

In global business, effective communication is essential for success. When dealing with international partners or clients, accurate translation of documents, contracts, and communications is crucial. However, not all translations are created equal—certification is the key to ensuring quality and reliability.

Certified translations are performed by professionals who meet specific industry standards, guaranteeing that the translation is not only accurate but also legally valid. This is particularly important for legal documents, where even a minor error can lead to significant misunderstandings or disputes.

When selecting a translation service, ensure they offer certified translations and have experience in your specific industry. Look for translators who are accredited by recognized bodies and have a track record of providing precise, culturally appropriate translations. By prioritizing certification, you can avoid costly mistakes and ensure your business communications are clear and effective across all markets.
