Document Translations

Our primary business, we translate over 100 languages. For projects large and small, we meet the demands of companies in a wide range of industries:

Oil & Gas

Headquartered in the "energy capital of the world," we service companies such as Shell, ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and ExxonMobil. In fact we translated 90% of the documents for the ExxonMobil merger, the largest merger ever at the time. We have extensive experience translating documents from national oil entities such as PEMEX, PETROBRAS, PDVSA, AND GASPROM. From geological surveys to technical manuals, our expert team of language professionals can accurately translate a large volume of documents in a short amount of time.

Medical & Pharmaceutical

Our team of over 4,000 linguists include both practicing and non-practicing medical professionals. From handwritten medical records, patient information, and medical charts to prescription information, medical device specifications, research projects, and marketing materials, you can be confident that this highly-technical information will be translated accurately by linguists with subject-specific expertise.

Corporate Communications and Compliance

As the ever expanding global market leads to new cultures and new business practices, compliance issues grow in importance for businesses. With regulations changing frequently, it is vital for companies to have compliance manuals, code of ethics, FCPA policies, privacy policies, and code of conduct documents regularly updated and translated into necessary languages. Our translation memory software tools allow you to make revisions without retranslating the entire document. Not only does this save you time and money, but it also ensures that terminology remains consistent throughout revisions of all corporate communications.

Financial & Banking

We serve all sectors of the financial and banking industry. Keeping up with different terminology, not to mention varying rules and regulations from different countries can be challenging when translating between multiple languages. Our team of professional linguists with over 10 years of experience in the industry have the knowledge and expertise to accurately translate retirement planning documents such as IRA, 401(k), 403(b), annuity policies and statements, insurance policies, employee benefits handbooks, investment portfolios, estate planning, bankruptcy documents, loan applications, mortgage notes, general banking/financial marketing materials, investor relations packages and presentations between stockholders and board of directors.

E-Learning

We have experience completing E-Learning localization for companies such as CEVA, Kaplan, Foster Wheeler, and Honeywell. Our translation memory software tools are a perfect solution for revisions in training programs. Our E-Learning package supports you even after we have completed the translation with the first hour of live online review at no charge. If your training software contains audio instruction we have professional voice-over talents in multiple languages ready to meet your needs. Recorded in state of the art studios, the audio is provided in edited MP3 files.

Publishing / Media / Marketing

We are equipped to handle any number of publishing and media related translations projects as well as marketing material from an entire campaign to a single direct mail piece. We will localize your material to ensure the consistency of your brand message when going into another language. Not only will we translate the text but we will also format and perform desktop publishing, creating a document that is ready for printing when it gets back to you.

Engineering

At CDLS, we understand the importance of technical accuracy. It is crucial that the terminology stays consistent when translating specification manuals into different languages, which is why we only use translators that are native in the target language and have subject specific backgrounds. We also have a second and third level of proofreading and editing to ensure accuracy and constancy of terms.

Transportation and Logistics

Our subject-specific translators are able to translate documents such as commercial invoices, bills of lading, letter of credit documents, legalization documents, and any other document required for import or export from a given country. We understand that these documents are important for international trade between you and your partners and we only assign translators with backgrounds in international trade, engineering, and logistics.

Advantages of TM: Cost, Time, Consistency

Translation Memory
