Manufacturing

Manufacturing companies already face immense pressure to be the fastest and the best in an increasingly competitive global market. They are subject to standards and regulations they must comply with to produce and market their products. The risk of non-compliance is a major concern that comes with a possibility of production being shut down until issues can be resolved.

While the diverse workforce of manufacturing companies is valued, it also adds complexity to communication within the company. When Limited English Proficiency employees need to clearly understand critical training and safety information. This challenge can be overcome by providing high value communication in the employees’ native language. This can be accomplished through a combination of translated documents or onsite interpreting services.

At Affordable Language Services, we use the most skilled and qualified translators and interpreters who also specialize in HR, engineering, manufacturing and industry-specific niches. We provide a team that will learn your company culture and promote it through the translation and interpreter services you need to keep your employees safe, well informed, and feeling valued.

We are able to localize your language service project, which means that we integrate linguistic nuances to achieve the most accurate and relevant result, which is important for safety.

Here are five simple tips to find the right language service provider:

  1. Seek a language service provider with someone else’s stamp of approval. We’re ISO-9001 compliant, so you can feel confident in our processes. And the Common Sense Advisory Board rates us among the top 40 companies in several categories. Perhaps most importantly, 80 percent of our customers are repeat business (and the other 20 percent simply don’t need additional service).
