Translation customers reap rewards
Applied Language Solutions has one thing and one thing only in mind - its customers, so it has a launched the Talkbase Points reward system for them.
The Association gives members a common forum to discuss issues within the localisation, globalisation and translation industries, share information, identify innovative solutions and create opportunities for new business.
The Institute of Translation and Interpreting is the only independent professional association of practicing translators and interpreters in the UK, and is one of the primary sources of information about translation and interpreting services.
The aim of ITI is to promote the highest standards in the industry and members are governed by the Institution's strict code of professional conduct.
ITI also offers guidance to those entering the translation and interpreting industry, as well as offering advice to language service providers and their customers.
Gavin Wheeldon, CEO of Applied Language Solutions, said: "As the demand for localisation increases and globalisation becomes more dominant, we believed it important to join GALA and ITI; membership of these prestigious industry bodies will provide support as we continue with our expansion in the European and global markets, and will also provide a great platform to promote Applied Language among other players in our industry.
"Just as importantly, we will benefit from the networking opportunities and the chance to discuss any issues or problems we may come up against, and learn from other companies' experience of expanding further into the global market.
"Adhering the practices of ITI and GALA will also prove to our customers that we are serious about providing the greatest standard of professional translation and interpreting, and our dedication to delivering the best customer service".
