Services Overview

You need:

  • Language services in more than one language or area of expertise
  • Service offerings that match your organization’s value and quality requirements
  • Professional, dependable, and courteous service from an ongoing, committed vendor

Solution: McElroy Translation

McElroy offers a full complement of professional language services that will empower your organization to achieve a competitive advantage in the global marketplace.

Making your product or service offering a success in other languages involves coordination of a large pool of talented and skilled professionals. Most organizations do not have such resources readily available when the need arises. McElroy offers support functions so that you won’t need to add to your existing responsibilities by managing the multilingual aspects of your project yourself.

McElroy Translation supports clients by applying the same attention to detail to multilingual communication, products, and services that were given to the originals.

McElroy provides a broader range of related language service offerings than just translation, as a basic bilingual translation of text is sometimes insufficient for effective and accurate communication in today’s complex global marketplace. We also provide:

  • Professional project management
  • Terminology management
  • Software and website engineering and functionality testing
  • Desktop publishing, audio and video production
  • Cultural assessments of communication, product, and service offerings
  • Quality control protocols designed for language service providers

In some cases, your content may require transliteration or what is sometimes called transcreation in other languages in order for your intended message to be effectively understood and received by a multilingual audience. This is more likely to occur in marketing content than technical documents.

At other times, very precise language translation is required, such as for a patent translation. Here the purpose of the translation, e.g., whether the patent translation is intended for filing or for litigation, will also impact linguistic choices. McElroy retains skilled professionals globally to provide expertise in all these areas of language services.

McElroy Translation offers an array of translation services clients can tailor to fit their translation needs, no matter the size or complexity of your project.

A New Look at an Old Question: Why Use an Agency?

An actual quote from a client:

“It seems unbelievable that this huge project was accomplished on time. I was asking a lot of you, and you did a great job. Not only did it get done, you managed to make me feel like it really could be done, which made me calm in a sea of mounting pressure from my senior management. I have realized the comfort of using professional services like yours. It really is true that, when you turn a big job over to the best, you can let some of your worry go.”

The client who wrote these words is not a translation professional. Still, her organization assigned her the task of verifying the languages and text for the labeling and packaging of a new product, one that would ship to a multitude of locales.

As a translation and localization company, we take pride and satisfaction in our willingness and ability to rescue such clients from what can be an uninvited, unwelcome, and frequently baffling project nightmare. Of course, we also work with many client-side translation professionals. These client professionals deliver years of experience and accumulated wisdom to the localization process.

Either way, the “agency question” can and does arise: if an organization has invested resources in creating and training a translation department or even a single knowledgeable point-of-contact, why incur additional expenses by securing the services of an outside agency? Read more.
