Algeria Country Information

Background

After more than a century of rule by , Algerians fought through much of the 1950s to achieve independence in 1962. 's primary political party, the National Liberation Front (FLN), has dominated politics ever since. Many Algerians in the subsequent generation were not satisfied, however, and moved to counter the FLN's centrality in Algerian politics. The surprising first round success of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) in the December 1991 balloting spurred the Algerian army to intervene and postpone the second round of elections to prevent what the secular elite feared would be an extremist-led government from assuming power. The army began a crack down on the FIS that spurred FIS supporters to begin attacking government targets. The government later allowed elections featuring pro-government and moderate religious-based parties, but did not appease the activists who progressively widened their attacks. The fighting escalated into an insurgency, which saw intense fighting between 1992-98 and which resulted in over 100,000 deaths - many attributed to indiscriminate massacres of villagers by extremists. The government gained the upper hand by the late-1990s and FIS's armed wing, the Islamic Salvation Army, disbanded in January 2000. However, small numbers of armed militants persist in confronting government forces and conducting ambushes and occasional attacks on villages. The army placed Abdelaziz BOUTEFLIKA in the presidency in 1999 in a fraudulent election but claimed neutrality in his 2004 landslide re-election victory. Long-standing problems continue to face BOUTEFLIKA in his second term, including the ethnic minority Berbers' ongoing autonomy campaign, large-scale unemployment, a shortage of housing, unreliable electrical and water supplies, government inefficiencies and corruption, and the continuing - although significantly degraded - activities of extremist militants. must also diversify its petroleum-based economy, which has yielded a large cash reserve but which has not been used to redress 's many social and infrastructure problems.

LanguageTran is a translation company offering a wide variety of translation services, including legal translations, technical translations and certified translations.

Translation Resources and Information

The translation of text from one language to another can be a simple matter or a complex process that requires a large set of skills. In today's business environment, clients expect technology-savvy language translation vendors, quality work, and maximum value.

Many of our LanguageTran clients are highly informed about the issues that are involved in a successful translation process. For others, translation is a new experience, so they are not sure what they need to manage a translation project or how to look for a reliable translation vendor.

How Long Will It Take?

It is not uncommon for a client to call us in a state of desperation asking us to translate dozens of pages in  two days. We like to ask these clients one question: How long did it take you to write this content? Writing and editing are also part of the translation process.  In a nutshell, if it took someone 15 days to write a document, it would very difficult for us to deliver a high-quality translation in 2 days. Yes, we can assign several translators to a rush project, but the end-product will not have the same quality and consistency as if the translation had been done with a bit more time and care.

What About Machine Translation?

Some people try to translate large sections of content through machine translation. This is acceptable if you just want to know what the text is saying, more or less. But at this point computer translations are not a substitute for the art and craft that human translators offer.

When Should the Translation Vendor Come On Board?

The sooner, the better!  Whenever possible, we at LanguageTran recommend that you involve your translation vendor from the start of your content creation process. This will save you time and money.

To help our clients and friends understand the many issues involved with the translation process, we will post articles on this page and throughout our website. We believe it is better to be informed and plan ahead than rush at the end and risk the quality of the end-product. (But, of course, LanguageTran is ready to help you with your rush projects, too!)

Keep Austin Weird

Its hard to imagine how the capital of the largest state in the lower 48 could have a more fitting slogan than Keep Austin Weird. Austin, Texas. The city, located in the central part of the state, holds the rank of the fourth-largest city in Texas, with a population of approximately 757,688. As part of the metropolitan area of Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, the combined population of 1.7 million comes in 36th rank of US metro areas.

Austin is an eclectic city that defies easy characterizations. On one hand it is known as high tech center and hosts the largest public university in the country, the University of Texas at Austin, or UT as it is locally known. On the other, the city has never lost it's small city flavor with a quasi-fanatical devotion to live music, the arts and outdoor living.

Many of UT graduates love to stay in the city, only to become the backbone of many local companies. A variety of well-known high-tech companies take advantage of this highly trained workforce and have established operations in Austin, such as Dell, 3M, IBM, AMD, Unysis and Freescale Semiconductor. The city is also an emerging as a center for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.

As the economy of Austin diversifies internationally and its population becomes ever more diverse, the city's businesses and institutions need for communicating in other languages has only increased over the years. Austin translation services have became an important part in supporting corporate international communications and facilitating communications with its diverse multilingual population.

As a cultural center, Austin calls itself Live Music Capital of the World. The city hosts several massive music events. Most notably South by Southwest or SXSW. This is one of the larges musical events in the country hosting more than 1,300 performers who play in dozens of venues around Austin. You can hear live music at street corners, restaurants and almost everywhere in between during this two week Bacchanalian music event. This is the single most important special event in Austin and brings hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy each year.

The creativity brought into the city by high-tech geeks, energetic students and eclectic musicians have created a unique combination, some would call it weird.

China Country Information

Background:

For centuries China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation. After World War II, the Communists under MAO Zedong established an autocratic socialist system that, while ensuring China's sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people. After 1978, his successor DENG Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented economic development and by 2000 output had quadrupled. For much of the population, living standards have improved dramatically and the room for personal choice has expanded, yet political controls remain tight.

Colombia Country Information

Background:

Colombia was one of the three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others are Ecuador and Venezuela). A 40-year insurgent campaign to overthrow the Colombian Government escalated during the 1990s, undergirded in part by funds from the drug trade. Although the violence is deadly and large swaths of the countryside are under guerrilla influence, the movement lacks the military strength or popular support necessary to overthrow the government. An anti-insurgent army of paramilitaries has grown to several thousand strong in recent years, challenging the insurgents for control of territory and the drug trade, and also the government's ability to exert its dominion over rural areas. While Bogota steps up efforts to reassert government control throughout the country, neighboring countries worry about the violence spilling over their borders.

Document Translation

Individuals, organizations and businesses, governments and institutions often need to translate documentation into other languages to reach their clients, employees and stakeholders.

The results are not always what they expect.

The German Language

The Importance of the German language is more prevalent throughout the world than most people imagine. This is why a good German translation of your documentation can open markets and new ventures for your company:

Approximately 100 million people around the world speak German as their native language.

The official language of and , German is also one of the official languages of , and .
German is second only to Russian as the most frequently spoken language in Europe and is the sixth most commonly spoken language in the world.

German has special importance in relations with Eastern Europe.

The German language is prominent in many fields: science, technology, engineering, business, philosophy, psychology, history, art, music, literature, and diplomacy. In nearly every field important contributions have been made originally in German.

In scientific publications, German is second only to English. 18% of books published worldwide are in German.

is a leader in the European Community, and German is the preferential language of commerce within the EC.

German is recognized as an official language of most important international organizations such as the UN and the Red Cross.

German is considered one of the world languages along with English, French, and Spanish, and as such, its influence continues to grow throughout the world.

Why Translate into German

German speakers often have a good command of English as well; nevertheless, translating into German, to more fully communicate with the German public, remains important in many areas, such as:

Internet- With German being the second most widely used language on the web and more than forty-two million German-speaking people online worldwide, web content should certainly include presentations in German.

The trades more with than any other trading partner in Europe, and is its third largest trading partner worldwide.

German companies have more than 1,100 subsidiaries in the world, and more than 750 companies have subsidiaries in Germany.

Trade Shows- holds the most trade shows in the world; thus, it is important to have your materials translated into German at trade shows.

The medical and the pharmaceutical industries are very important in and and medical literature often is in German or should be translated into German.

German Dialects

German is noted for its linguistic diversity. Depending on the exact definition of a dialect, it has from fifty to two hundred and fifty dialects. These dialects are further broken down into sub-dialects which include variants of Austrian German and "Schwyzerdütsch", or Swiss German. In fact, regional variants of German can differ so greatly that communication becomes not only difficult across country borders, but even between German speakers in neighboring regions.

Luckily, High German serves as a standard in German communications. Contrary to common belief, the term does not imply any superiority to other dialects, but is a geographical term that evolved from the fact that the printing press and the primary efforts to develop a national language for all German speakers originated in the Northern regions where High German was spoken. High German is taught today in schools as Standard German that is understood by all German speakers and spoken by most as well, although often colored by a particular dialect.

New Standard German Spelling Rules

Recently, Standard German underwent a spelling reform meant to simplify the spelling rules. Despite considerable controversy, the new rules went into force for all schools and government offices in all German-speaking countries on August 1st, 1998. A transitional period where both spellings were acceptable ended in 2005, although most German speakers continue to write their native language informally as they always have even if old spellings are considered outdated. Translations, especially those of official documents, are required to use the new spelling rules.

Should you Localize your Translated Text?

High German is both the written and spoken standard with which you will be able to address any German-speaking audience. In general, a proficient German translator will use High German to render a culturally neutral text that will be understood by all German speakers.

In some cases, a client needing English to German translation may ask to reach a specific market or audience using a procedure called "localization" to specifically use regional variant forms of the German language. For example, the term for "bread roll" can be "Brötchen", "Schrippe", or "Semmel", etc., depending on where you happen to be. In , whipped cream is "Schlagobers", in "Schlagsahne", and in , "Schlagrahm". This is probably unimportant in translating a technical document, but many times it makes a big difference when translating marketing pieces for a specific country.

Germany Country Information

Background:

As Europe's largest economy and second most populous nation, Germany remains a key member of the continent's economic, political, and defense organizations. European power struggles immersed Germany in two devastating World Wars in the first half of the 20th century and left the country occupied by the victorious Allied powers of the US, UK, France, and the Soviet Union in 1945. With the advent of the Cold War, two German states were formed in 1949: the western Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and the eastern German Democratic Republic (GDR). The democratic FRG embedded itself in key Western economic and security organizations, the EC, which became the EU, and NATO, while the Communist GDR was on the front line of the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. The decline of the USSR and the end of the Cold War allowed for German unification in 1990.Since then, Germany has expended considerable funds to bring Eastern productivity and wages up to Western standards. In January 1999, Germany and 10 other EU countries introduced a common European exchange currency, the euro.

Guatemala Country Information

Background:

The Maya civilization flourished in Guatemala and surrounding regions during the first millennium A.D. After almost three centuries as a Spanish colony, Guatemala won its independence in 1821. During the second half of the 20th century, it experienced a variety of military and civilian governments, as well as a 36-year guerrilla war. In 1996, the government signed a peace agreement formally ending the conflict, which had left more than 100,000 people dead and had created some 1 million refugees.

____________________

The Haitian Creole language is one of the two official languages of Haiti and the main language spoken in Haiti  by about eight million people. There are substantial pockets of Haitian Creole speakers in places where Haitiana immigrants have settled including the United States, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Bahamas, Cuba, Canada, and other Caribean islands.

A creole language is a language that has evolved from a pidgin language which is a combination of native languages with a foreign language. Some consider them as a "nativized" language, meaning a foreign language adopted and adapted by local peoples. Creole languages borrow cognates from the parent languages but they defer phonetically and semantically from the original languages. They evolve sometimes into recognized languages in their own right. Hatian Creole is considered as the most widely spoken creole language in the world.  

Haitian Creole is the byproduct of eighteen century French and Haitian African languages and dialects originally brought by the African slaves that were brought to the island. Haiti is the only nation in the Americas that is predominantly Francophone and it is only one of two countries (and Canada) in this region that has designated French as an official language. It also has influences from Arabic, Spanish and Taíno, a native language from the island.

Although it indeed has a foundational French heritage, Creole has evolved to have its own dialect. It is not only prevalent in Haiti, but in many parts of the US in which Haitian immigrants have made their home. Florida and Georgia are two states that have a higher population of immigrants from Haiti; therefore in certain communities the Creole language has a major presence. Even someone of a French-speaking native language may have difficulty in conversing in Creole, for although the underlying premise of the two languages share a certain similarity, the speed and inflections and terms have evolved to be completely distinctive languages all on their own.

Haitian Creole today is a sophisticated language that has gradually been gaining acceptance as the literary language of the country. Today, many authors, teachers and political activists have used it to write literature and many Haitian translations of world literature have been published. Many publications and newspapers in Haiti, including radio and television broadcasts, are produced in Creole.

A French speaker would have a very difficult time understanding Haitian Creole. The grammar of the language differs significantly from French. Some of the differences involve the way verbs are handled (they are not conjugated or inflected), nouns have no gender and adjectives and articles are not inflected based on the noun. These are important considerations when working on Creole translation.

Iraq Country Information

Background:

Formerly part of the Ottoman Empire, Iraq was occupied by Britain during the course of World War I; in 1920, it was declared a League of Nations mandate under UK administration. In stages over the next dozen years, Iraq attained its independence as a kingdom in 1932. A "republic" was proclaimed in 1958, but in actuality a series of military strongmen ruled the country, the latest was SADDAM Hussain. Territorial disputes with Iran led to an inconclusive and costly eight-year war (1980-88). In August 1990, Iraq seized Kuwait, but was expelled by US-led, UN coalition forces during the Gulf War of January-February 1991. Following Kuwait's liberation, the UN Security Council (UNSC) required Iraq to scrap all weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles and to allow UN verification inspections. Continued Iraqi non-compliance with UNSC resolutions over a period of 12 years led to the US-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003 and the ouster of the SADDAM Hussain regime. Coalition forces remain in Iraq, helping to restore degraded infrastructure and facilitating the establishment of a freely elected government, while simultaneously dealing with a robust insurgency. The Coalition Provisional Authority, which temporarily administered Iraq after the invasion, transferred full governmental authority on 28 June 2004, to the Iraqi Interim Government (IG), which governed under the Transitional Administrative Law for Iraq (TAL). Under the TAL, elections for a 275-member Transitional National Assembly (TNA) were held in Iraq on 30 January 2005. Following these elections, the Iraqi Transitional Government (ITG) assumed office. The TNA was charged with drafting Iraq's permanent constitution, which was approved in a 15 October 2005 constitutional referendum. An election under the constitution for a 275-member Council of Representatives (CoR) was held in December 2005. The CoR approval in the selection of most of the cabinet ministers on 20 May 2006 marked the transition from the ITG to Iraq's full-term government.

Italy Country Information

Background:

Italy became a nation-state in 1861 when the regional states of the peninsula, along with Sardinia and Sicily, were united under King Victor EMMANUEL II. An era of parliamentary government came to a close in the early 1920s when Benito MUSSOLINI established a Fascist dictatorship. His disastrous alliance with Nazi Germany led to Italy's defeat in World War II. A democratic republic replaced the monarchy in 1946 and economic revival followed. Italy was a charter member of NATO and the European Economic Community (EEC). It has been at the forefront of European economic and political unification, joining the Economic and Monetary Union in 1999. Persistent problems include illegal immigration, organized crime, corruption, high unemployment, sluggish economic growth, and the low incomes and technical standards of southern Italy compared with the prosperous north.

Japan Country Information

Background:

In 1603, a Tokugawa shogunate (military dictatorship) ushered in a long period of isolation from foreign influence in order to secure its power. For 250 years this policy enabled Japan to enjoy stability and a flowering of its indigenous culture. Following the Treaty of Kanagawa with the US in 1854, Japan opened its ports and began to intensively modernize and industrialize. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Japan became a regional power that was able to defeat the forces of both China and Russia. It occupied Korea, Formosa (Taiwan), and southern Sakhalin Island. In 1931-32 Japan occupied Manchuria, and in 1937 it launched a full-scale invasion of China. Japan attacked US forces in 1941 - triggering America's entry into World War II - and soon occupied much of East and Southeast Asia. After its defeat in World War II, Japan recovered to become an economic power and a staunch ally of the US. While the emperor retains his throne as a symbol of national unity, actual power rests in networks of powerful politicians, bureaucrats, and business executives. The economy experienced a major slowdown starting in the 1990s following three decades of unprecedented growth, but Japan still remains a major economic power, both in Asia and globally. In 2005, Japan began a two-year term as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council.

5 Keys To Successful Language Translations

Localized Texts

LanguageTran provides translations that speak clearly to the target markets because our content reads as though it had been produced locally. To do this, we work with native speakers who possess thorough knowledge of the source language and know exactly how to "localize" the text for the target audience, using language and style the end-users can identify with.

Excellence in Language Translation

Our extensive experience and proven quality-assurance procedures have been instrumental in the successful completion of large and small translation projects alike. Many projects are demanding, requiring comprehensive linguistic, management, and desktop publishing (DTP) resources. Other projects can be simple one-page documents to be certified for government paperwork purposes. At LanguageTran, all projects--whatever the size--are completed with expertise and care.

Client-Based Approach

Our Company strives to build long-term business relationships with our clients. It is important that we understand your needs and expectations and make sure that we adapt to you, instead of the other way around. Although there will always be commonalities in the way we deal with projects, every client’s is different and this requires that we have the flexibility to complete the language translation project successfully.

Proper Implementation Strategy

LanguageTran helps you to implement language translation strategies that are effective and bring value to your company. Thinking about translations as the last thing you need to worry after creating the content and publishing it. It should be part of the overall content creation process. Integrating content creation with translation early in the process can save time, money and headaches. These strategies could include things as writing text in such a way that it can be reused in several instances (reusable text). Other examples would be planning for file types that enable the use of the same text across programs and platforms, such as XML files.

The Right Resources

No language translation project will be successful without the skill and experience of a professional translator. Finding the right translator for the job is often one of the biggest challenges for anyone attempting to translate documents. Good translators are often specialized in one language direction and are specialists in limited areas such as medical, legal, or electrical engineering. Our company thoroughly tests all qualified translators.

TRAVEL AND LEARN A LANGUAGE

Many of us love to travel. But when we combine our passion to travel with a passion to learn, we gain the understanding of other cultures and a deeper sense of our own selves. It is simply one of the best investments we can make in our own personal growth.

In this section we post articles about traveling and learning languages overseas.

There are many opportunities to learn languages overseas. Some governments actively promote their national languages and provide generous support to foreign students. We have come across several excellent programs over the years that offer incredible value and opportunities for travel.

For instance, the Goethe Institute offers many opportunities for students of all ages to learn German in Germany which include generous room and board accommodations and very economical rates. Students can spend months at a time in different German cities taking language lessons at a fraction of what it would cost if they were to do it alone.

Germany is not alone. France and many other European governments run government subsidized language programs.

Learning a language has never been easier. At LanguageTran we promote the idea that learning a foreign language opens economic and personal opportunities.

This section of our website is dedicated to posting articles related to travel and language learning.

Legal Translations

Expert Legal Translation Services for Law Firms, Corporations, Government Agencies, and Individuals

Consumers, businesses, organizations and governments alike rely on faithful translations of contracts, court documents and legal documentation into/from foreign languages to protect and promote their interests. Given the critical nature of most legal documentation, excellence in legal translations is not an option, it is a must.

Why You Should Choose LanguageTran for Your Legal Translations:

- Our highly trained and experienced translators, including linguists with law degrees
- Strict confidentiality ensured by non-disclosure and non-compete agreements
- Guaranteed accuracy
- Quality assurance procedures consistently applied and regularly reviewed and updated
- Certified translations provided upon request (see below)
- Accessible and responsive customer service

The Importance of Specialization

Accurate legal translations can be delivered only by highly specialized legal translators with many years of training and experience.

Professional legal translation services provide the necessary expertise to translate international contracts and agreements, foreign law, court documentation and government regulations using specialized translators who have comprehensive knowledge of the legal systems involved as well as a command of legal terminology. Legal translators are highly specialized and often only translate legal documentation. In many cases they are attorneys themselves who have also been trained as legal translators.

Challenges of Legal Translations

Legal translations are often challenging. There are issues of equivalence, terminology, stylistic differences, and error and ambiguity in the source text.

Conceptual equivalence between the source and the target text is often not straight forward between two different languages and/or legal systems. It is common that exact equivalence does not exist. The skill and knowledge of the translator makes the difference between a deficient and a good translation. The translator must translate legal text that is clear and exact. For instance, many countries lack public jury “trial” processes. Instead, other judicial systems involve stages of evidence submittal, often in closed hearings, after which the court renders its verdict. In a situation such as this, a literal translation of the word "trial" might mislead the reader.

Legal terminology also requires the experience and knowledge of a professional translator, both in the source and target languages. Legal translators must be alert to the use of "false friends" of "false cognates." These are terms in the source language that closely resemble a similar sounding term in the target language. However, many times their meaning can be entirely different. Legal translators must avoid the complacency which leads to the use of false cognates.

Stylistic or repetition differences must also be reconciled when translating. In contractual documents, English legal tradition often stresses consistency through specific word repetition. The translator must handle repetitive terms in English that essentially have the same meaning. The same English term may be translated with varying equivalent terms to the target language and the legal translator must consider stylistic variations of the source and target languages.

Finally, in addition to the legal theory, cultural and linguistic differences described above, the translator often faces all-too-frequent ambiguities and errors in the source text. The translator often walks a fine line between incorporating obvious insignificant errors into the translation and pointing out every possible ambiguity in the source text.

To summarize, legal translations must reconcile the often competing goals of producing clear and readable documents that can be assimilated easily by the reader with the rendering of translations that faithfully transmit the form and substance of the source text. The constant tension between these two goals requires a great deal of experience, skill, perseverance, knowledge and integrity.

Certified vs. Non-Certified Translations

In the US a certified translation means that the legal translation service prints an affidavit and attaches it to a physical copy of the translated document attesting to the accuracy of the translation. The affidavit must be notarized to certify the document.

Country officials or institutions occasionally require official certified translations provided by legal translation services.

Other countries like  Mexico require that officially certified translators are the legal translators of record for official documentation. In such cases, LanguageTran can provide local certified and credentialed translators. Please contact us for availability.

Software vs. Human Translators

One of the most commonly asked questions in the translation industry is: Can computers translate adequately from one language to another?

Yes is the short answer, but with a catch. The quality of translation fluctuates from extremely poor to barely intelligible. To date, direct machine translation still yields a crude representation of an original text due to language complexity. While useful for some applications, computer generated translation is inappropriate for others. To understand the limits and usefulness of computers in language translation, we need to classify the general types of translation software available and what they offer.

Machine Translation

Many translation software packages are available for purchase; you often can test them out free in the Internet. Sophisticated language processing and analysis are the basis of these software packages. Although limited when the richness of language is considered, they provide an adequate rough translation of foreign text. Experienced translators can use these tools to speed translation. However, for those inexperienced in a language, the software renders awkward, inexact, and grammatically incorrect text. With this in mind, acceptable uses for machine translations include reading correspondence and translating foreign websites. However, machine translations without the aid of a human translator to communicate with your customers simply give the wrong impression. You run the risk of losing the client.

Using machine translations effectively requires careful planning, language consistency in the source text, and strict stylistic guidelines in the source language. Where accuracy and style is important, machine translations never will replace a human translator.

Terminology Managers

Terminology managers are relatively simple programs that store glossaries for the translator's quick reference. They insert words into the target text. These tools help manage terminology and provide consistency throughout documents with little user flexibility.

Translation Memory Software (TMS)

TMS is a database that enables translators to store previously translated sentences, phrases, and terminology. Using a combination of terminology managers, the translator builds a database for each client. The software assembles translated text that combines previously translated sentences and phrases and words stored in the terminology database. The translator then chooses the stored version or crafts an entirely new one.

This type of software, useful for highly repetitious text, achieves terminology consistency, especially when several translators work simultaneously on a large project. The translator always controls the translated text, but the software eliminates repetitive term, phrase, or sentence translation. Significant cost and time can be saved.

North Korea Country Information

Background:

An independent kingdom for much of its long history, Korea was occupied by Japan in 1905 following the Russo-Japanese War. Five years later, Japan formally annexed the entire peninsula. Following World War II, Korea was split with the northern half coming under Soviet-sponsored Communist domination. After failing in the Korean War (1950-53) to conquer the US-backed Republic of Korea (ROK) in the southern portion by force, North Korea (DPRK), under its founder President KIM Il-so'ng, adopted a policy of ostensible diplomatic and economic "self-reliance" as a check against excessive Soviet or Communist Chinese influence. The DPRK demonized the US as the ultimate threat to its social system through state-funded propaganda, and molded political, economic, and military policies around the core ideological objective of eventual unification of Korea under Pyongyang's control. KIM's son, the current ruler KIM Jong Il, was officially designated as his father's successor in 1980, assuming a growing political and managerial role until the elder KIM's death in 1994. After decades of economic mismanagement and resource mis-allocation, the DPRK since the mid-1990s has relied heavily on international aid to feed its population while continuing to expend resources to maintain an army of 1 million. North Korea's long-range missile development, as well as its nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons programs and massive conventional armed forces, are of major concern to the international community. In December 2002, following revelations that the DPRK was pursuing a nuclear weapons program based on enriched uranium in violation of a 1994 agreement with the US to freeze and ultimately dismantle its existing plutonium-based program, North Korea expelled monitors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In January 2003, it declared its withdrawal from the international Non-Proliferation Treaty. In mid-2003 Pyongyang announced it had completed the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel rods (to extract weapons-grade plutonium) and was developing a "nuclear deterrent." Since August 2003, North Korea has participated in the Six-Party Talks with China, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and the US designed to resolve the stalemate over its nuclear programs. The fourth round of Six-Party Talks were held in Beijing during July-September 2005. All parties agreed to a Joint Statement of Principles in which, among other things, the six parties unanimously reaffirmed the goal of verifiable de-nuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in a peaceful manner. In the Joint Statement, the DPRK committed to "abandoning all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs and returning, at an early date, to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and to IAEA safeguards." The Joint Statement also commits the US and other parties to certain actions as the DPRK denuclearizes. The US offered a security assurance, specifying that it had no nuclear weapons on ROK territory and no intention to attack or invade the DPRK with nuclear or other weapons. The US and DPRK will take steps to normalize relations, subject to the DPRK's implementing its de-nuclearization pledge and resolving other long standing concerns. While the Joint Statement provides a vision of the end-point of the Six-Party process, much work lies ahead to implement the elements of the agreement.

Portugal Country Information

Background:

Following its heyday as a world power during the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal lost much of its wealth and status with the destruction of Lisbon in a 1755 earthquake, occupation during the Napoleonic Wars, and the independence in 1822 of Brazil as a colony. A 1910 revolution deposed the monarchy; for most of the next six decades, repressive governments ran the country. In 1974, a left-wing military coup installed broad democratic reforms. The following year, Portugal granted independence to all of its African colonies. Portugal is a founding member of NATO and entered the EC (now the EU) in 1986.

Russia Country Information

Background:

Founded in the 12th century, the Principality of Muscovy, was able to emerge from over 200 years of Mongol domination (13th-15th centuries) and to gradually conquer and absorb surrounding principalities. In the early 17th century, a new Romanov Dynasty continued this policy of expansion across Siberia to the Pacific. Under PETER I (ruled 1682-1725), hegemony was extended to the Baltic Sea and the country was renamed the Russian Empire. During the 19th century, more territorial acquisitions were made in Europe and Asia. Repeated devastating defeats of the Russian army in World War I led to widespread rioting in the major cities of the Russian Empire and to the overthrow in 1917 of the imperial household. The Communists under Vladimir LENIN seized power soon after and formed the USSR. The brutal rule of Iosif STALIN (1928-53) strengthened communist rule and Russian dominance of the Soviet Union at a cost of tens of millions of lives. The Soviet economy and society stagnated in the following decades until General Secretary Mikhail GORBACHEV (1985-91) introduced glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in an attempt to modernize Communism, but his initiatives inadvertently released forces that by December 1991 splintered the USSR into Russia and 14 other independent republics. Since then, Russia has struggled in its efforts to build a democratic political system and market economy to replace the strict social, political, and economic controls of the Communist period. While some progress has been made on the economic front, recent years have seen a recentralization of power under Vladimir PUTIN and the erosion of nascent democratic institutions. A determined guerrilla conflict still plagues Russia in Chechnya and threatens to destabilize the North Caucasus region.

South Korea Country Information

Background:

Korea was an independent kingdom for much of the past millennium. Following its victory in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, Japan occupied Korea; five years later it formally annexed the entire peninsula. After World War II, a Republic of Korea (ROK) was set up in the southern half of the Korean Peninsula while a Communist-style government was installed in the north (the DPRK). During the Korean War (1950-53), US troops and UN forces fought alongside soldiers from the ROK to defend South Korea from DPRK attacks supported by China and the Soviet Union. An armistice was signed in 1953, splitting the peninsula along a demilitarized zone at about the 38th parallel. Thereafter, South Korea achieved rapid economic growth with per capita income rising to roughly 14 times the level of North Korea. In 1993, KIM Yo'ng-sam became South Korea's first civilian president following 32 years of military rule. South Korea today is a fully functioning modern democracy. In June 2000, a historic first North-South summit took place between the South's President KIM Dae-jung and the North's leader KIM Jong Il.

Spain Country Information

Background:

Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating civil war(1936-39). A peaceful transition to democracy following the death of dictator Francisco Franco in 1975, and rapid economic modernization (Spain joined the EUin 1986), have given Spain one of the most dynamic economies in Europe and made it a global champion of freedom. Continuing challenges include Basque Fatherland and Liberty (ETA) terrorism and relatively high unemployment.

About the Spanish Language

As the third most widely spoken language world-wide, after English and Mandarin, the Spanish language is indeed important to most companies serving multicultural and international communities. For US based companies the Spanish-speaking market is particularly important  since Latin America stands as its single most important export market-region and its own Hispanic population represents a significant domestic market. Many companies, governments and institutions need to use Spanish translation companies to meet their ever increasing biligual demands.

Consider:

About 400 million people speak Spanish worldwide

Spanish is the official language in 22 countries, including Mexico ,  Argentina , Spain and Costa Rica .

The Spanish language is used extensively across , Europe, Asia and Africa
Spanish has become the unofficial second language in the which has more than 25 million Spanish-speakers at home

The World has hundreds of Spanish newspapers, magazines, and publishers

Communicating in Spanish with clients, stockholders and employees is a strategic decision that most businesses and institutions need to consider. Simply put, they cannot afford to ignore these attractive markets.

Spanish Dialects

As widely-spoken language with a long history, the Spanish language has developed many local dialects. This offers both opportunities and challenges when companies want to do business with the Spanish-speaking world. The opportunity is the ability to communicate in a single language with four hundred million people. Spanish translators find that the challenge is being sufficiently sensitive to the many different idiomatic expressions.

Why is Spanish longer than English

There are several grammatical reasons which justify this expansion factor when translating from English to Spanish . For instance, Spanish translators often have to use two, three or even more words to translate a single English compound word. In general, a professional Spanish translation will be fifteen percent longer than its English version.

Sweden Country Information

Background:

A military power during the 17th century, Sweden has not participated in any war in almost two centuries. An armed neutrality was preserved in both World Wars. Sweden's long-successful economic formula of a capitalist system interlarded with substantial welfare elements was challenged in the 1990s by high unemployment and in 2000-02 by the global economic downturn, but fiscal discipline over the past several years has allowed the country to weather economic vagaries. Indecision over the country's role in the political and economic integration of Europe delayed Sweden's entry into the EU until 1995, and waived the introduction of the euro in 1999.
