Business Translation Services
CLI’s business translation services are exclusively performed by translators who are native speakers of the target language, with deep industry-specific expertise and cultural fluency. This guarantees the translators we work with understand your business and the nuances that are critical to precise translation.
Interpreters and translators are different. And even though their services may complement each other, they perform different functions, so it’s good to know the difference.
So, how do interpreters and translators work together? Say, for example, a patient in a clinic speaks a language other than English. An interpreter can be there in-person or virtually to help them communicate with a doctor. But the patient’s medical care doesn’t end once they leave the doctor’s office. Patients are often provided with post-op guidelines, medical device instructions, or written discharge summaries. This is where a translator enters the mix. A translator can provide a translated document of the doctor’s written directives for patients who speak a language other than English.

When you need document translation services, experience matters. Since 1996, we’ve been providing quality translations for organizations across the U.S. that need to communicate effectively with the communities they serve.
Your documents deserve more than just word-for-word translation. We work with exclusively native speakers who are familiar with your industry and understand both the language and context of your materials. While some companies rely heavily on technology, we believe in the power of human expertise. Each project gets individual attention from professionals who understand your industry’s specific requirements and terminology.
Whether you’re a hospital providing patient education materials or a financial institution preparing mortgage documents, we understand your needs and compliance requirements. We maintain active memberships in major professional organizations and follow strict quality standards to ensure your translations meet all necessary requirements.
CLI offers professional Braille transcription, printing, and packaging services for virtually any type of project in Braille, including Braille in non-English languages.
100% of our Braille transcribers are Unified English Braille (UEB) certified and adhere to the rules and guidelines set forth by the Braille Authority of North America (BANA). Our quality assurance process for Braille projects includes a review of your document; transcription of your document into Braille Ready Format (.brf); a thorough QA review to ensure accuracy; and finally, the completion of the Braille embossing. We will print, package, and ship all Braille projects directly to your desired destination, with as many copies as you need.
CLI places a high priority on the security of all document translations. We collaborate with industry partners to spearhead and share best practices and standards. Our translation team is HIPAA certified and bound by strict confidentiality agreements. Additionally, we are active members of and adhere to the higher standards prescribed by the American Translators Association (ATA) and the Association of Language Companies (ALC).
Ensuring the highest quality is a team effort at CLI. Every translated document we work on is overseen by a dedicated project manager and uses two separate linguists — one for translation, and one for proofing. Our translation team follows a multi-step QA process: (1) translation; (2) editing; and (3) proofreading (TEP). Documents are translated, proofed, formatted, and proofed again to ensure accuracy and the highest quality translations.
Our goal is to make the document translation process as easy and seamless as possible for you and your team. This goes for the quality of the translation as well as the final delivery of your translated file that is fully formatted and ready to publish. We work with all the industry-standard document files, including the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc.), the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.), PDFs, WordPerfect, and Quark.

Yes! We support organizations nationwide with translation solutions for their local communities. Our U.S.-based operations centers in Portland and Phoenix ensure consistent service delivery across all time zones, with support for over 100 languages.
We implement terminology management and style guides for each client. Our project managers maintain glossaries of industry-specific terms and company preferences to ensure consistency across all materials. This approach is particularly valuable for ongoing business translation needs.
We also utilize translation memory systems to make translations more consistent and efficient, and to document preferences specific to each client (for example, terminology specific to their industry or “brand voice” preferences).
We maintain strict security protocols for all translation projects. Translators and team members sign confidentiality agreements, follow HIPAA guidelines, and use secure file transfer systems. We can also accommodate specific security requirements for sensitive business materials.
A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator or translation company attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the translation. Courts and legal support organizations as well as other government agencies often require certified translations for official documents. Upon request, we can include this attestation from an authorized signer, ensuring your documents meet all requirements.
