Just as there are variations between the English spoken in the U.S. and that spoken in Great Britain, there are language nuances worldwide. Our translators take these variations into account and produce documents that communicate clearly with the intended audiences. Our native consultants offer expert translation into dozens of languages, including Vietnamese, Esperanto and Flemish, as well as more widely used languages like Spanish, French and Japanese. We have provided language classes in Mandarin Chinese for Motorola's managers. Among the clients for whom we've translated and culturized materials are Duracell's sales and business management training into 11 languages and Stratus Computer's management development program into Japanese.

Humor may not cross geographic boundaries. For example, color has different connotations in different cultures. In some cultures a woman may not be acceptable. Body language varies around the globe. For instance, rolling the head from side to side is a sign of concurrence in South Asia.
