| Companies rely on experts to help transcend the language barriers and cultural issues that are inextricably tied to today's global business.
CD Language Solutions provides those experts and offers an array of custom services such as translation, interpreting, language instruction classes and tailor-made specialty programs designed to meet the needs of each client.
"Our mission is to introduce our clients to other cultures and help them better understand and communicate with each other," said Cristina Didoné, President of CD Language Solutions. Ms. Didoné's minority-owned business has helped some of the world's most prominent business leaders achieve success in multi-million dollar international transactions.
Industry leaders in the technical, marketing, financial, legal, medical and oil and gas arenas depend on CD Language Solutions for its exceptional handling of complex, large-volume projects. The company's phenomenal success resulted in a five-fold increase in revenues over the past year.
Enron Corporation, Duke Energy, Alltel Telecommunications, Coastal Corporation, Shell Corporation and a number of other high-profile clients retain the services of CD Language Solutions. In fact, the company translated 90 percent of the documents involved in the ExxonMobil merger - the largest merger of its kind in the energy sector.
CD Language Solutions' success depends on its diverse services and large database of translators and interpreters who are custom-chosen to meet the needs of a particular project. All translators are extensively trained in their field of expertise, ensuring quality, cost-effective service that can accommodate any language, any deadline and any volume of work.
The company's computer-enhanced processes allow for rapid translation of large volumes of material that can be delivered electronically anywhere in the world. Experts proofread all translations for accuracy and edit the documents to conform to the various cultural traditions and nuances, thus conveying the proper image for the client. CD Language Solutions' on-site corporate language training helps cultivate that image. This program targets special negotiation skills that give companies a competitive edge when transacting business in foreign countries.
To that end, the company offers, among its services cross-cultural training to acclimate clients to the traditions, geography, economy and political climate of the target country.
"We not only teach them the language; our programs include information such as social backgrounds, and what to expect when doing business in a different cultural environment. This avoids the initial culture shock present in many intercultural business negotiations. Therefore, business meetings progress much more smoothly once the parties understand each others' cultural differences," said Ms. Didoné, who received her executive MBA from Houston 's Rice University .
Ms. Didoné's outstanding credentials and multi-cultural background give her special insight into the clients' ever changing needs in a world where international awareness and knowledge count toward success. Her company continues to flourish in Houston 's international trade market, where the demand for highly skilled interpreters and translators is vastly outpacing supply. Ms. Didoné documented this growth when she served as president of the Houston Interpreters and Translators Association. The continued globalization of the world's economy necessitates the bridging of all language and cultural barriers. "That's what we're all about - bridging that gap that exists between two cultures," Ms. Didoné said.
