Interpretationaudiosupport Linguist Certification Program

While various professional groups and organizations have historically provided credentials for professional linguists, none of these addressed critical elements of linguist performance like subject-matter expertise and overall competency — so IAS introduced the Interpretaionaudiosupport Linguist Certification (IAS) program. The IAS program was the first comprehensive system to assess linguist skill in the areas that matter most to clients.

Document Translation

Machine Translation

While Interpretationaudiosupport today is a diversified business solutions organization, our birth in 1992 was as a pure-play document translation service. Ever since, we’ve been the industry pioneer driving the level of quality and service increasingly higher. Interpretaionaudiosupport was the first major language services organization certified to both ISO 9001 and EN 15038, as well as the first to offer a subject-specific certification program to assess both linguistic competency and industry knowledge.  No other language services provider can offer the capabilities that IAS does to meet your multilingual challenges: • Rush Turnaround Times • Highly Technical Materials • High-Volume Requests • Certified Documents

For companies that face extremely high volumes of text, extremely fast turnaround requirements, or both, machine translation can potentially serve as a viable option. On its own, current machine translation technology can’t produce the same level of quality as a human translator. However, depending on time constraints, cost requirements, and end-use, the machine translation process can be customized with the ideal combination of terminology glossaries, translation memory technology, optical character recognition (OCR), and post-translation proofreading by human linguists. Please contact us to learn more about our machine translation and to talk with our client service team to determine if machine translation is a potential solution for your needs.

CAT Tools

Interpretationaudiosupport utilizes leading computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools to facilitate reuse of previously translated content stored in translation memory (TM). TM helps organizations cut costs and timelines while improving overall translation consistency, and the benefits in these areas grow over time as TM assets grow and are augmented by tools includingGlobalLink TM Server and GlobalLink Term Manager, which centralize TM assets and manage terminology glossaries, respectively.

Translation Management Technology
Interpretationaudiosupport GlobalLink translation management technology is a suite of modular applications designed specifically to alleviate manual project management burdens associated with the translation process. By streamlining workflows, giving stakeholders direct access to project status reports, managing review processes, and maintaining audit trails, GlobalLink simplifies the entire translation process, from submission to release. The end result is improved translation quality, expedited timelines, decreased workloads, and significant cost savings, which could potentially total in the millions of dollars.
