**Definitions**

**Simultaneous Interpretation:** The interpretation of words as they are
spoken, this approach is ideal for

international conferences or any event involving multiple languages.
Using state-of-the-art equipment,

teams of two or three interpreters per language work in soundproof
booths, while participants listen to the

interpretation in their own language through wireless receivers.

**Consecutive Interpretation:** Performed at intervals in discourse,
often after a few phrases, this is the

preferred approach for small groups or short, formal presentations. It
gives participants greater mobility

and eases the flow of communication, which is why consecutive
interpretation is frequently chosen for

business meetings, negotiations, seminars, training sessions,
depositions, and some trials.

**Escort Interpretation:** A style of precise paraphrasing, this
technique is best for conversing at less formal

occasions, such as receptions, tours, and site visits.

**HOURLY:** Minimum 2 hours, plus travel expenses

**FULL DAY:** Up to an 8 hour period, including a 1 hour non-working
break, plus travel expenses

Elahi Enterprises Inc., dba Akorbi Consulting is a Dallas-based
consulting firm, minority owned and operated, certified at the federal
level as an 8(a) disadvantaged company, specializing in the fields of
language solutions and information technology. We provide complete
translation and interpretation services in over 75 languages. We
currently provide translation services for many of the Fortune 500 and
several public entities, including Aetna, DART (Dallas Area Rapid
Transit), Bromley Communications, Southwest Airlines, the City of San
Antonio, and the City of Lewisville. Additionally, we currently hold
contracts with several federal level entities, including the U.S. Army,
the U.S. Air Force, and the Department of the Interior.

Akorbi's full team of in-house native-speaker translators all have
minimum four-year university degrees in translation or a closely related
field, and various technical specializations. Our editors, as well, meet
these requirements and have proven industry experience and years of
editing expertise. Each of our accounts has a designated project
manager, who assumes responsibility for the quality of the project and
close communication with the customer. The account manager also assigns
a translation and editing team to each account to maximize consistency
and familiarity with the subject matter.

Akorbi is also a resource for interpreters in more than 75 languages. We
count on our expertise in staffing to find the most reliable and
qualified interpreters, even at short notice, with security clearance
where necessary, and specialists in the relevant fields. Our
interpreters fill multilingual needs in such arenas as meetings,
conferences, seminars, litigation proceedings, briefings, trainings,
escorts, and more. Akorbi does not tolerate mistakes; if an interpreter
fails to perform to our standards they are dismissed from our company
and not contacted for further needs. All interpreters are interviewed
and tested for their specific bilingual or multilingual skills and
experience in simultaneous and/or consecutive interpretation.

Elahi Enterprises Inc., dba Akorbi is committed to providing the highest
industry quality, at the lowest price available, without missing a
deadline. We place such a premium on developing long lasting
relationships with a select group of client partners that we leave no
room for failure. The quality control measures we take to achieve this
goal are as follows:

In order to ensure the highest consistency and quality control, we only
hire in-house certified translators with a minimum four-year degree in
translation or a closely related field. When contracting freelance
translators, our rigorous selection process is very similar to our
in-house qualifications, requiring minimum four-year degrees in
translation or a closely related field, wherever possible. In the case
of less common languages, such as some Asian, African, Creole, or other
languages, the translator will be selected who has either the highest
credentials or the most expertise regarding the translation of the
specified language. Our project management team also possesses at least
four-year university degrees in or related closely to translation.

Elahi Enterprises, Inc, (dba Akorbi) specializes in the translation of
corporate media including brochures, manuals, signs, safety programs,
news releases, radio and TV commercials, as well as web site content and
applications for public relations and advertising departments, agencies,
and the local and federal government.

Akorbi has a range of expertise in the fields of Business, Legal,
Medical, Technical translation and interpretation, as well as experience
with manuals, web sites, multimedia, video, audio and software. Our
specialization in the private sector is corporate media, ranging from
such projects as intricate policy packets for Aetna, to an assortment of
brochures and press releases for Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), to
cutting edge marketing material for Bromley, and extending to manuals,
legal documents, books, annual reports, and much more. Our
