At LAT Multilingual, we believe thatĀ ethical translationĀ is not only a crucial aspect of our professional responsibility but also central to the success of our business. We understand the importance of precise and culturally-attunedĀ translations. We work with native and in-market translators who possess in-depth knowledge of the culture and idiomatic nuances of the target audience.
So, what exactly constitutes ethical translation?
Ethics in translation entails ensuring precise, culturally-sensitive, inclusive and respectful language in all translated content. We also emphasize the importance of preserving confidentiality and safeguarding sensitive information.
At LAT Multilingual, we deliver ethical translation services by respecting these key elements:
We believe that communication is key to human relationships. We aim to make a positive impact in society by promoting trust and understanding between different cultures and communities. That starts with treating everyone fairly and respectfully. We are proud to be an ethical localization and translation company that provides opportunities for the next generation of translators to enter the industry in a safe and supportive way. We are constantly working to improve our social and environmental performance.
Why do ethics matter for LAT Multilingual when localizing your marketing communication?
Being ethical and environmentally responsible should not only apply to manufactured goods, but also to professional services. Businesses must consider their impact on the environment and the values they stand for such as diversity, equity, and inclusion.
