A US financial institution required language assistance to train executives from the erstwhile Soviet Union in the application of sophisticated business techniques to extractive industries.

The needs of the client were addressed in three ways. First, ALS translated course-related materials from English into Russian and Ukrainian. Second, we provided interpreters for the training sessions. Third, ESL instructors were provided for those business leaders who wanted to improve their English. The two month training session ended with a celebration of its success: a grand tour of the United States for which ALS also provided interpreters.

A major international investment bank required the translation of a proposal and ancillary materials to open up an oil pipeline in the erstwhile Soviet Union.

We received the documentation from the lead bank on a Friday and were asked to translate the initial proposal by Monday morning. ALS created a team of specialists overnight and worked around the clock, during the weekend, to provide a finished draft proposal for the bank. Subsequent to this, ALS was engaged in ongoing translations of supporting documents including financial projections and engineering reports for the negotiation of a multinational agreement.

A major international oil exploration company required the translation of specifications and marketing materials for a new market.

ALS assembled a team of specialists, including technical experts, to translate the documentation for the client. What makes this project notable was the follow-up work wherein we performed a series of back translations to verify the accuracy of the translation and provided interpreters to assist the company in its approach to the foreign sale. We are glad to report that the sale was successful and the company succeeded in opening a major new market.
