Many of us received formal education in more than two countries, speak several languages, and have worked in or traveled to multiple countries. Having seen the world and knowing what foreign languages can do for organizations and ordinary citizens, we decide to make use of our unique experiences with foreign languages and foreign cultures and provide viable solutions to the language needs of all types of entities and individuals. Our services cover all your language needs, including:
? Translation and interpreting
? Language training
? Editing and copywriting
? Multilingual publishing

Translation and interpreting

To us, both translation and interpreting are defined as communicating in a foreign language as effectively as in one's own mother tongue. At Expert Language Consults, we translate not words, but meanings that are true to the original text. More concretely, we help you achieve your personal or business objectives by speaking your mind in the target language.

Our expertise covers broad areas such as industry and commerce, science and technology, law, finance and education. Our interpreting service covers a wide range of purposes and situations, including business escort, site visits, business meetings and negotiation, seminars and conferences, amongst others. Both consecutive interpreting and simultaneous interpreting in major languages can be accommodated.

Language training

Apart from (figuratively as well as literally) translating your language problems into business opportunities, we also offer tailor-made training programs in a variety of languages, including Putonghua, English, Japanese, and French. Our programs cover a wide spectrum of needs, from everyday conversation to advanced levels appropriate for professional services or academic studies. Our expertise encompasses all key industries and sectors, including hotel and tourism, international trade, financial services, retailing, manufacturing, education, etc.

Editing and copywriting

A natural outgrowth of our language expertise is professional editing, proofreading, revising and copywriting. Apart from these, we also offer transcription and recording services. We work closely with government agencies, NGOs, translation companies, multinationals and local firms and produce tailor-made brochures, pamphlets, booklets, manuals, speeches, marketing materials and reports, amongst others. We also undertake commissioned project proposals, feasibility studies, media reports and books.

Multilingual publishing

A collection of well-written textbooks and references is indispensable for learning a foreign language or getting to know a foreign market place. With this in mind, we are constantly on the look out for good books aimed at developing foreign language proficiency or fostering business and cultural awareness for foreign countries. We are in the process of developing a series of books and audio-visual materials that teach foreign languages to Chinese students. Our efforts are bearing fruit with the publication in 2003 of Import and Export Documentation in China, a bilingual (in English and Chinese) book which we sponsored and which was published by Guangdong Economic Press (the book is reprinted in 2004). More publications of this kind will be forthcoming in language learning, cultural awareness, business, social sciences and literature.

Based in the Greater China area, we aspire to becoming a leading publisher in bilingual materials that serve to build a language bridge between the Chinese people and its culture and those of foreign countries. We will be happy to hear from interested authors and publishers that share our vision. Contact us now for what must be a mutually beneficial venture!
