Translating and Interpreting

Langnet provides a range of translating and interpreting services at competitive rates.   If you already have or may have on-going translation or interpreting requirements, why not take advantage of our trialling service whereby we introduce you to a translator /interpreter who could work directly and regularly for you once an initial trial is completed to your entire satisfaction?  Let us find you the professional person or people you need to establish worry-free, mutually beneficial working relationships which will ensure consistency and save you time.

If you haven't yet dipped your toes into this international sea, then consider:

  • is your literature available to all your target markets?
  • is your website reaching all potential overseas customers?
  • which key information should be provided in other languages?
  • could your business benefit from the services of an impartial language professional?

Both translation and interpreting should always be undertaken by qualified members of professional bodies who adhere to a strict code of conduct which protects the commercial or confidential nature of your material.

How to gain commercial “edge”!

Suppose you are dealing with an overseas company and that most of their team speak English.  When you are  around a negotiating table, they may overhear “asides” that you make to your colleagues.   However if you don’t speak their language you won’t be able to do the same and will be at a disadvantage.  By taking an interpreter to the meeting with you, not only are you sure that what you say is put across to the other side accurately, he or she will also feed back to you all those little “asides” and incidental comments that can be so important!
