ISO 9001 
ISO 17100 
ISO 18587 At LinguaVox, we recognise that a language name alone is insufficient to properly manage a professional translation project. The language choice must account for regional variants, market-specific terminology, and the requirements of the receiving authority. English, for instance, might mean British English for a UK-based organisation, American English for a US regulatory submission, or international English for a generic business publication. Similarly, Spanish may vary significantly between Spain and Latin America, and Portuguese differs between Portugal and Brazil. These distinctions affect spelling, grammatical conventions, document titles, and legal references.
For this reason, our project managers discuss the specific requirements, including the language pair, subject matter, country of use, and final purpose—before assigning any project to our linguists. A technical manual, a sworn translation for Spain, a certified translation for a UK authority, an immigration record, a website localisation project, or a multilingual product catalogue each requires a different level of expertise and workflow control.
Major European and international language coverage
The most frequent corporate combinations we handle involve English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. However, LinguaVox manages projects in more than 150 languages, including many less common combinations that require careful sourcing of specialist linguists. Our language coverage includes:
- Spanish: Spanish for Spain, Latin American Spanish variants, and neutral Spanish for international corporate use.
- English: British, American, Canadian, and international English for technical, legal, and business documentation.
- French: French for France, Canada, and various Francophone markets, with terminology adapted to the target region.
- German: German for the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), covering technical, legal, and business content.
- Italian: Professional translation for business, legal, technical, tourism, and marketing content.
- Portuguese: European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese, with specific attention to market-dependent terminology.
- Arabic: Modern Standard Arabic and regional variations for business and official documentation.
- Chinese: Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, with awareness of regional content preferences.
We also support languages such as Catalan, Basque, Galician, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Romanian, Dutch, Turkish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Czech, Bulgarian, Korean, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Persian, Serbian, Thai, Urdu, and Vietnamese. Availability and turnaround times can vary significantly for less frequent language combinations, especially when the subject matter is highly technical, legal, or regulated.
Terminology and official translation standards
A common challenge in multilingual projects is the literal translation of official service names. In Spain, for example, a *traducción jurada* is a formal concept linked to a translator authorised by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Translating this as "sworn translation" into other languages may not always convey the correct legal status in the target country.
Similarly, an Italian request for *traduzione giurata* versus *asseverata* requires specific knowledge of how these terms are used and accepted in the Italian legal system. The language pages on our website are written to inform international clients about these regional distinctions, rather than being literal translations of our Spanish pages. Understanding these differences helps our clients manage their multilingual requirements more effectively.
Language and domain specialisation
B2B and professional projects depend on the combination of linguistic ability and subject-matter knowledge. A document for export catalogues, software interfaces, user manuals, regulatory filings, employment contracts, or ESG annual reports requires a different mix of expertise.
Our project managers assign linguists who are not only professionals who work into the appropriate target language but are also experienced in the specific industry of the document. This ensures that the technical jargon, regulatory language, or corporate tone is appropriate for the target audience.

Frequently asked questions
Can you manage regional variants such as British English or Latin American Spanish?
Yes. We ask for the target country or region before assigning the project, because spelling, terminology, legal references and tone can change between variants such as British and American English, European and Brazilian Portuguese, or Spanish for Spain and Latin America.
Do you provide translation in less common languages?
Yes, subject to availability. We manage many less frequent combinations, but turnaround and workflow depend on the language pair, subject matter and required review level. Highly specialised legal, medical or technical content may require additional sourcing time.
How do you decide which translator is suitable for a language project?
We consider the language pair, target variant, document type, subject matter and intended use. A website, a sworn document, a technical manual and an immigration file require different translator profiles and quality checks.
Can you coordinate several target languages at once?
Yes. For multilingual projects, a project manager can centralise instructions, terminology, file naming and delivery schedules so that all language versions remain aligned.
Are certified or sworn translations available for every language?
Availability depends on the language pair, destination country and required format. Tell us where the document will be submitted so we can confirm whether a sworn, certified or professional translation workflow is appropriate.
