You Learn a Thing or Two in Four Decades of Translation!
Each long-term client and significant or unusual project should be a learning opportunity—if you don’t learn something new in these instances, you just aren’t looking.
Four decades have given us countless opportunities to see the unusual, the new, and the unexpected. Whether it is the innovations covered in pharmaceutical translation, the linguistic nuances of legal translation, our wealth of technical translations for patents, or the manipulations required for various language service application, everything we learn continues to be discussed, cataloged, and in many cases incorporated into our workflow processes, communication protocols, QA criteria, departmental reference manuals, and/or training materials.
Because so few other language service providers enjoy a history as extensive as McElroy Translation’s, it is sometimes difficult for those unfamiliar with McElroy to realize the scope of expertise McElroy has earned in four decades.
How have we gained such a wide range of subject matter expertise? In the past it has sometimes developed because McElroy has been referred by one corporate department to another as a trustworthy language services partner. Over half of all our new business is from word of mouth. Experience grows incrementally and over time.
Clients’ markets change, competitive landscapes change, business models and offerings change, service requirements change, and technologies change. McElroy is successful because we continuously (and vigorously) develop processes, technologies, and service offerings to keep pace with our clients’ changing environments and needs.
