You have found us – we provide quick & easy solutions for all your translation needs. Tell us about the subject of the text to be translated, its size and the languages you want, and we will provide a quote. Send us the files, and within short order, we will deliver a clear, accurate, complete translation.

That’s it! That’s all you have to do. Simply send us the text you want translated, then leave all the rest to us.

Of course, quite a bit more goes on behind the scenes, starting with doing the translation right the first time. We use a multi-step process to ensure the quality of our translations, starting with the translation itself, then editing, followed by proofreading and QA. Every translation is confirmed by at least one other linguist to assure that the meaning of the original is conveyed clearly and accurately. 

We also check for completeness and formatting and can perform DTP image editing as necessary. We work with any format, from Word documents, to PowerPoint presentations, to Excel spreadsheets, to software applications, to website localization. Whether you’re looking to translate a code of conduct, an employee handbook, company policies, a slideshow, a survey or a script, we can make it happen.

We can also handle any subject matter. Whether legal documents, technical manuals, or medical reports, our highly-trained translators will rise to the challenge. Our specialization is in highly-technical subjects.

Furthermore, we provide over 175 languages (including Arabic, Japanese, Hebrew, Malay, German, French, Indonesian, Danish, Finnish, Hungarian, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Italian, Swedish, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Hindi, Norwegian, Polish, Russian and more).

We treat every project with special care, and our goal is to always try our best to make sure the readers understand the original text in their own language, as clearly and as easily as possible.

A lot of people don’t necessarily understand how many services a language company like Monterey Language Services provides. Aside from interpretation, business translation, personal translation, and localization services, we also may be able to help out when it comes to your academic needs.`

We offer a whole branch of services which we call Academic Services. This usually encompasses grammar checking, editing, formatting and translation services for journal and conference articles, doctoral and master’s theses, and research papers and proposals. The convenience of the internet means you don’t know who may be looking to use the research from your thesis; or what languages they may speak!

One of the most popular portions of our academic services is formatting. A lot of people such as the person mentioned in this excerpt from one of our colleagues may have a hard time adapting to new paper formats. However, Monterey Language Services is here to help! They state:

“When I found out that Monterey Language Services offers Academic Services, I immediately thought of a friend of mine. She recently transferred to a new business school that insists on APA formatting for everything, even forum posts. A former History student, she had always used Chicago Style citation. Her first class was a Psychology class. Oh my, did she struggle! Her writing style and content were consistently A-B quality, but the stringent new citation format was very difficult to master. Unfortunately, her professor was a stickler for detail. Consequently, her worthwhile papers were severely graded down. She never earned above a C in that class. All of this could have been avoided if she had known about Monterey Language Services. She assures me that if she encounters another such professor; she will hire them right away. She insists that she will contract Monterey Language Services for her thesis formatting.”

Some of the neologisms in English are based on people’s names.  Gerrymander comes from the name of a Massachusetts governor who redrew the state’s districts to favor his party in 1812, while the Diesel engine is named after its inventor.  More often, the doctrines and policies of particular statesmen lend their names to words ending in –ism, like Leninism and Thatcherism.

Sometimes, certain words in English can take on new meanings, whether alone or in combinations.  This occurs often in popular culture, as shown by the music genres blues, folk and rock ‘n’ roll, along with the movie genres comedy and horror.

Clearly, this tongue that arose in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England is now one of the ultimate mixtures in the world, and simply continues to evolve.  In fact, many languages have entities that regulate them, such as the Bangla Academy, which regulates Bengali; English has no official regulation.  In a way, English is no longer a sufficient name for the language.  It nowadays needs a name that emphasizes its fascinating mélange of words from around the world.
