Our company offers a wide range of services which go beyond mere documentation translation.  Our strength as your partner lies in our scalability and capacity as a full turnkey service provider.  Irrespective of project size you can outsource all of your project needs to IFL, without the need to manage several providers to conclude your project.

In addition to high quality translations, our language services include glossary and style guide creation, editing and correction of already translated text and language quality assurance (QA).  We offer unique experience in language skills such as Machine Translation post editing, transcription and team leading of other suppliers.

Through our in-house Desktop Publishing department we optimize your documentation localization process from file preparation to print ready copy. We offer image handling in all recognized formats, animations in Flash and other multimedia applications, scanning of physical files, creating files in editing formats (InDesign, FrameMaker, Quark Express, PageMaker, Corel, etc.) on either PC or Mac platforms.

Additionally, our technology services department performs software compilation, testing and debugging, XML based documentation and help file generation and verification, hardware testing and web site testing.

In order to coordinate all of these services and, if required, to manage the tasks of other providers, IFL offers a dedicated team of in-house Project Managers who specialize in managing your business in the localization arena.  Whether as an individual PM or a Snr. PM managing a larger PM team for you, their job is not only to facilitate project task completion but to bring efficiencies to your international business and localization process while seamlessly ensuring the successful conclusion of your projects.

We know how important it is for your company to offer a coherent image and send the correct message. This is why quality is a key factor at IFL.

We are quality-oriented and employ only the best professionals.  IFL groups its in-house staff by area and industry to efficiently manage internal knowledge and specific client requirements.

In parallel, projects in each language are handled only by native speaking translation professionals, avoiding cultural and conceptual errors.

Our production workflows are based on a methodology that allows for quality verification at defined control points throughout the project. Furthermore, we use the tools best suited to each individual situation, such as translation memories, dictionaries, text extraction, search and QA plug-ins and utilities, amongst others.

In order to offer the best possible service, IFL has developed an infrastructure to cater to the needs of both our company and its clients.

IFL is structured as follows:

Four specialized translation teams comprising forty in-house language specialists working in our Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Porto Alegre (Brazil) production centers.

A group of nine dedicated graphic designers providing high quality document deliveries for print, Web or software packaging purposes.

A localization engineering and technology team providing project generation, test and compilation tasks, as well as technical support to the rest of the company.

An administrative area provides management support and efficient client-related administrative processing.

This entire organization is based on a secure structure via multi-platform networks, high technology equipment and appropriate security procedures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of client information.

One key business differentiator for IFL is our ability to adapt to changing client needs, understand how to forecast assignments and maintain a flexible structure in an industry that is typified by varying workloads.

Our strength is in adequately balancing in-house resources and external teams, allowing us to scale up for larger volumes of work during peak periods.

This allows IFL to commit to very large volume and long-term projects without sacrificing quality or losing grasp of operational control.

In order to work efficiently and minimize risk to quality, IFL has adopted a series of processes that increase its workflow control and reduce the margin for error.

IFL is able to offer services at below-market costs without compromising or risking delivery quality.  This is due to its Latin American location, with labor and infrastructure costs in Argentina being more competitive than in Europe and North America.

This cost benefit is a major advantage for our clients in switching suppliers, although our excellent quality service is the key factor that maintains these relationships in the longer term.

IFL’s main production center is located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a city with specific advantages that allow the company to stand out as the best localization option in Latin America. Situated 30 minutes from a major international airport you and your staff can enjoy easy access to IFL offices whenever a personal meeting is deemed beneficial.

Buenos Aires offers high quality human resources, dozens of universities that offer translation and related careers, and its European heritage and American influences combine to create a cultural alignment that facilitates communications and transparent work practices.

The city also has a strategic advantage, located between the European and United States time zones, facilitating communications with both regions for more effective project management.
