Job Description
About us:
Translation Excellence (TE) is a top-notch language services agency that Nisar Nikzad started back in early 2010. We're really proud to offer a wide array of services in over 250 languages. These include localization, certified translation and interpretation, American Sign Language (ASL), bilingual analysts, equipment for simultaneous interpreting, transcription services, Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART), desktop publishing, foreign language instruction, and cultural competency training.
Nisar's story is pretty inspiring. He moved to the U.S. from Afghanistan when he was young and, during his college years, started working with nonprofits helping immigrants and refugees adapt and succeed in the States. He realized how crucial communication is in helping people reach their goals. This led him to freelance translation and interpretation, and eventually, he founded Translation Excellence. It's all about helping people overcome communication and cultural barriers.
Since 2010, we've really grown and now we're one of the leading language service agencies in the U.S., serving individuals, corporations, and government agencies. Even though we've expanded nationwide, we've kept our original corporate culture intact. We're all about providing top-notch service, valuing the perspectives, attitudes, and beliefs of our team and clients - they're our main driving force. Over the years, we've fostered a strong sense of family and community within our company, and we extend this approach to our interactions with clients and linguists too.
