IFL fulfils its client language requirements across many fields and domains. Technology or volume not withstanding, we translate everything from simple documentation to complex software localization.

Industry resourcing portals offer easy access to Argentina based translators or but finding translators is only a small part of the process. In order to select its translators, IFL uses online personnel selection resources, a complex multi-componential test, interview and a psychological testing process.

Our linguistic teams specialize in Spanish (all varianrs) and Brazilian Portuguese and are grouped according to the distinct verticals of our clients' market needs: IT, Finance, Mechanics and Life Sciences.

Internal expertise and capacity

Our in-house language teams are formally grouped according to their translation domain specialization. :

The team is structured hierarchically based on skills and experience, giving team members a chance to develop within/out with of their grade as their technical and translation skills improve.

Each team is managed by a Team Leader and/or Senior Team Leader depending upon the number of employees in the team. He/she supervises staff development in translation seniority, setting annual goals and evaluating performance via training and project sampling.

External capacity

In order to process large volumes of content, IFL also selects, tests and hires external translators, carefully classified in line with their experience, infrastructure and technical abilities. External translators receive structured feedback on every project from the IFL internal team and a six monthly report from Team Leaders which includes comments on their performance, strengths and areas for improvement based on sample evaluations from the work they have carried out. Evaluations cover terminology, writing style, use of reference material, translation accuracy and general translation quality.

As well as lecturing at such on technical translation and computerized translation tool usage IFL has agreements with these major universities to accept translation students who, after graduation, have the potential to be fully employed as in-house team members.
