As multicultural language specialists, Linguava’s daily mission is to connect as many people as possible by removing language barriers and respecting values in our communities and throughout the global marketplace.

Cultural awareness and understanding are important components for Linguava, as we work with a wide variety of cultures on a daily basis, providing quality translations in more than 150 languages and dialects.

Our translators are industry certified on their education and experience.

In-Country & US-Based Linguists:

Our team is made up of more than 800 translators and editors. We require translators and editors to be native speakers of your selected target language for your document translation projects. Many translators and editors are based in their native countries.

Linguava Testing & Certification:
  • Native Speaker
  • Minimum of 5 years full-time translation experience and a Bachelor’s Degree
  • Demonstrated expertise in subject area specialization
  • 95%+ score on Linguava’s Proprietary Exam
  • ATA Certified (preferred)

Quality Assurance (QA) is a core pillar at Linguava.

Quality Assurance is built-in to every translation as a part of our project process. A major translation step requires verification prior to moving on to the next step. Linguava translators are tested based upon their target industry and must pass our proprietary onboarding exam.  

Our quality assurance process is completed via a 3-step process, which includes:

Step 1

Translations are completed by a native speaker of the target language with proven expertise in the subject area.

Step 2

Editing is done by a second linguist (also a native speaker of the target language) and checks the translation for syntax, flow, and terminology usage.

Step 3

A final review is completed by a QA specialist to ensure that the translation is complete and matches the original style guide, formality use, and date/time specifications.

Linguava is paving the way for the translation and interpretation industry.

We at Extreme Response International had the pleasure of working with Linguava for our humanitarian work in Ecuador. The Linguava team was great to work with and provided an excellent translation from English to Spanish that now is our primary communications tool for our Spanish-speaking friends. I highly recommend choosing Linguava for any project you have involving translation.
