A Translation Milestone…

What's In a Milliarium?

Austin, Texas - October 2004 McElroy Translation Company reached a remarkable milestone in the past month. Just two days before International Translation Day was celebrated worldwide September 30, 2004 McElroy processed job number 100,000! Celebrating job #100,000 within days of the annual International Translation Day festivities was uncanny timing - the two events complemented each other perfectly. McElroy, like our clients, is more focused on the work at hand than analyzing historical data, however, job # 100,000 caught our attention. The atmosphere at McElroy was celebratory and festive.

Founded in1968 the company's history predates use of computers in business and the current numbering system. So while it can’t be certain how long ago McElroy actually processed 100,000 jobs, the job designated “number 100,000” was still a significant event.

Shelly Priebe, General Manager noted, "I am thankful for the many clients with whom we have built and strengthened relationships over the years. This job made me reflect on our long term presence in the exciting industry of translation and localization. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but leading McElroy. Job # 100,000 is a number worthy of some fanfare and hoop-la! Our employees enjoyed a champagne toast and we thank our clients and our translators who have sustained our longevity and created our success."
