The world is increasingly connected by global commerce, communication, and collaboration. While this has many benefits, it makes communication more important than ever. To meet these communication needs, the accuracy and quality of language translation services is crucial.
Recognizing the importance of maintaining the highest standards, The Spanish Group, a globally recognized leader in language translation, has announced its achievement of two elite certifications: ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17100:2015. These certifications underscore a commitment to delivering top-tier translation and localization services and mark a milestone in its mission to provide precise, culturally accurate language solutions.
Founded in 2013 by Salvador Ordorica, The Spanish Group has quickly established itself as a trusted partner for businesses, legal institutions, and government agencies worldwide. The company’s dedication has now been formally recognized through the certifications, which are two of the most rigorous and respected standards in the industry.
Moreover, these certifications are not easily obtained, requiring companies to demonstrate a robust system of quality management, undergo regular internal and external audits, and comply with stringent protocols for information security and confidentiality.
The ISO 9001:2015 certification is an internationally recognized standard that sets out the criteria for a quality management system. It is based on several quality management principles, including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach, and continual improvement. It ensures the company delivers services that meet customer and regulatory requirements while striving to enhance customer satisfaction.
Meanwhile, ISO 17100:2015 specifically relates to translation services, providing requirements for the core processes, resources, and other aspects necessary for the delivery of a quality translation service that meets applicable specifications. This certification addresses the qualifications of the translators, the management of translation projects, and the processes used to produce the translations.
Achieving these ISO standards requires a translation service to demonstrate verified quality improvement systems, undergo yearly internal and external audits, and maintain full compliance with information management protocols to ensure document confidentiality. According to Salvador Ordorica, Founder and CEO of The Spanish Group, these certifications are highly selective and unattainable for most translation services, reflecting a foundational commitment to using highly credentialed professionals to achieve the best results.
For businesses and individuals requiring translation services, particularly in sensitive areas such as legal and medical fields, the implications of these certifications are profound. The Spanish Group identifies accuracy, quality, and expertise as the core benefits of choosing a translation service that holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17100:2015 certifications. These certifications ensure the most accurate, culturally-correct translations and localizations, adherence to stringent requirements that guarantee a premium translation experience, and the expertise of professionals with real-world, industry-specific experience. These certifications similarly provide clients with the assurance that their chosen service will deliver accurate translations.
With over 20 million documents translated and localized, The Spanish Group has become a key player in the global translation market. The company offers services in more than 90 languages, employing professional translators who are not only native speakers but also experts in various fields such as law, medicine, and technology. This combination of linguistic and subject matter expertise ensures that every translation is both accurate and relevant to the target audience.
Moreover, The Spanish Group’s rigorous quality control measures mean that every document undergoes thorough proofreading by a second, specially trained linguistic professional. This meticulous attention to detail is part of what makes The Spanish Group a preferred choice for Fortune 500 companies, law firms, universities, embassies, and government agencies around the world.
As global communication continues to expand, the demand for high-quality translation services is set to grow. The Spanish Group’s recent ISO certifications position the company at the forefront of this trend, providing clients with the assurance that their translations will be handled with the utmost professionalism, accuracy, and confidentiality.
