As language experts, we are intermediaries of cultures that intertwine in a communication process that flows through our active participation. We are responsible for connecting real people, their minds, stories, interests, needs, and solutions in this fast-paced, globalized world.
For this reason, we, as professional translators, love our job, and we want you, the reader, to feel the same way.
3 reasons to love our work as professional translators
As you have previously read, we love our job, and today we share with you 3 of our favorite reasons why:
1. Breaking through language barriers:
As specialists, we have the opportunity to communicate with people from the other side of the world, to share experiences, and knowledge regardless of their native language.
2. Facilitating cultural exchange:
Translation is a process that involves understanding the cultures involved and transmitting their essence in a precise and natural way. In this sense, we contribute to the dissemination of ideas, traditions, and values or belief systems.
3. Boosting the global economy:
International trade, tourism, and international relations rely heavily on the active participation of translators. The truth is, that we are the key to success for companies and organizations seeking to expand into new foreign markets.
An indisputable truth about professional translators
Being a translator is a responsibility and a privilege. We have the opportunity to connect the world, promote cross-cultural understanding, and contribute to a more global and inclusive future.
The translation market has the power to connect the world and as professional translators, our mission is to make this possible.
This goes beyond simply changing words from one language to another; it is about capturing the true meaning, root, and context of a message and conveying it effectively in the target language so that its cultural barriers do not disrupt the communication.
The values that guide us as translators
In addition to the privilege of creating seamless communication paths between different worlds, we have another very important responsibility on our shoulders: to ensure accuracy and confidentiality.
The truth is that we must always deliver translations that are accurate and true to the original while making sure to capture every nuance and subtlety of the message. In contrast to the above, this can be challenging in some cases.
And, parallel to this, we must respect the confidentiality of the information we handle, guaranteeing the privacy of and respect for our clients and their documents.
Therefore, our commitment to our work allows us to leave a positive footprint in the world as ambassadors of cultural understanding and diversity.
