Multilingual Connections

My experience with Multilingual Connections has been excellent! I needed to have certified English translations prepared for both Arabic and Russian academic transcripts, diplomas, and other relevant documents to provide to Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE). The translations were completed quickly. The project manager assigned to my documents communicated with me frequently and professionally. Everything was handled through e-mail, which was very convenient. The final documents have been accepted by ECE and are now on their way to the National American Board of Pharmacy for evaluation. I highly recommend this organization if you have similar needs.

It's a pleasure working with a team so committed to providing excellent service in an environment that fosters creativity and progress.

Last June, just days before Fathers Day - and the day I was due to arrive to my father’s house for our annual week-long visit, my father died unexpectedly. You might wonder what this has to do with a translating service review? I think anyone who loses a parent (or anyone close to them really) unexpectedly has a lot to deal with immediately following the death. And it is such a dark and difficult time. To complicate matters, my father died in another country but still had business dealings in Chicago and everyone wanted a copy of his death certificate. Of course no one would accept a copy of his death certificate as it was in Spanish. We offered to translate it but were told it would need to be certified. As I sat at my sister’s apartment late on a Monday night, having had a few libations and sobbing on and off, I was trying to work through the mountain of things we had to do. I started looking for a translator service that could do a quick turn around on a simple, one page (but legal government document) – with certification. I happened across Multilingual Connections. I liked their site and decided to send out several requests so that we would hopefully get some information back the following day. I sent a late night message (probably somewhat incoherent) and immediately heard back from Jill Bishop – the owner. (At almost 10 pm!) First, she sent condolences on the loss of my father. Then, she agreed to turn it around in one day and it a VERY SIGNIFICANT discount. The other companies wanted hundreds of dollars for what she did and at least a few days to do it! It was such a blessing to have found them. I can’t tell you what a beacon of kindness Jill and her staff were to us during that dark time and restored a bit my faith in humanity. The people who lend you a helping hand during a difficult time will always be remembered. I think it is a true testament to the kind of business they operate. I would recommend them highly – because the job was fantastic, timely and a great price - but more importantly because they are good humans.

I started my career as a translator with Multilingual Connections back in 2009. I couldn't have wished for a better way to step into the profession. Jill Bishop and her team make an ideal environment to be evolving in. Everyday was different, new and exciting allowing me to grow and widen my skills, as well as better understanding the various aspects of my work. Though I moved back home (West Africa) late 2012 I am still collaborating with Multilingual Connections. It has always been pleasant and easy to work with them as the whole process goes smoothly. Multilingual Connections is a strong team of true professionals!
