Did you know?

 

Language is considered to be an exclusively human mode of communication; although other animals make use of quite sophisticated communicative systems, none of these are known to make use of all of the properties that linguists use to define language. (from Wikipedia) 

 

WANTED:
WORDtrans is always interested in receiving applications from translators and interpreters. We currently have a few vacancies for translators in all languages (from/into English) with extensive experience in market research. Please see "Contact Us" for email contact details.

   

Why translate?

because....

94% of the world population do not speak English as their first language and 74% do not speak English at all.

.... isn't that a good enough reason to use WORDtrans' services?

  

Decline in language learning

 

The UK government is set to launch a £53M plan to reverse the decline in language studies in UK schools. Since language learning in schools was made discretionary, language student numbers taking GCSEs has declined from 80% to 48%. This welcome turnaround will hopefully revive the UK peoples’ ability to converse with others around the world in their own language. 08-01-07
