As we approach the third month of Russian open intervention into Ukraine and have been involved into an active help to our citizens and army, that was where Translatel had to focus its energy and resources since February, 24.

In the early days of the war, Translatel struggled to establish a sustainable working process to meet our clients’ demands and contribute to our country’s economy. The measures taken by our team were unprecedented, but circumstances demanded them.

At the same time, Translatel continued its activity on informing translation and localization community about the state of things in our country through series of international online meetings with colleagues from academia and industry.

Following up upon this activity our CEO delivered the remarks on the past few months extremely challenging for our country and our team in a welcoming address from Ukraine to Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) conference on April. 25, 2022.

Our team provided a set of steps to help Ukriane at “Unconference: Help for Ukraine: How can the GALA community provide support?” We suggested remaining informed and be cautious about the information that’s spread on social media and news, donating money and providing linguistic support to refugees worldwide.

We really appreciate GALA consideration and attention to this matter and greatful for support and the courtesy the community extended to our country.

We are happy to announce that thanks to our dedicated team of employees, we have been ISO 17100 certified. We are hugely proud of the achievement and would like to thank the entire Translatel team, our clients and business partners for their involvement. We will continue to further improve our rigorous and effective quality management system and do our best to meet our clients’ expectations.

With this year coming to an end, we at Translatel send our best wishes to all friends and partners. As we step into another year, we wish you confidence and strength to accept new challenges and work further towards the goals. New Year means a new opportunity full of success and prosperity. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Translatel Ltd is strongly committed to meaningful, effective and informed stakeholder engagement in the design and implementation of Bachelor and Master degree programs in Philology. The meeting “Translation: Make your Diploma Great Again” was invigorating, both intellectually and emotionally. Enjoyed sharing our understanding with would-be translators and the teachers from the Department of Communicative linguistics and Translation at Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University.

Translation, localization and mentoring at Translatel have now moved online! The transition has been exciting, successful, challenging. Check out our internship flashback from the pre-quarantine days.
If an internship is about fetching coffee for someone else, it’s definitely not Translatel’s case. Our “Enter Intern” strategy suggests the key takeaways that a student gets upon completion of the internship. Our interns don’t just sit back and witness a company at work. Instead, they do real tasks in a real-world environment. Translatel encourages all peers to give students the opportunity to get insight into localization industry, to shadow your employees and to make the right choices regarding future career options. The benefits are invaluable!
Looking forward to new interns, expanding of our team and growing together!
