PEOPLE FIRST PHILOSOPHY

Community

Our goal is to bridge the language gap in the United States and guided by the core values of community, inclusion, integrity, and empathy.

We work with professional service organizations and companies that share our passion in ensuring limited English proficiency speakers have access to services and resources available to native English speakers.

We focus on serving community-focused organizations and companies in the fields of sustainability, tourism, DEI, education, gender equality, media and PR firms, personal and professional development, financial institutions, law, leadership trainings, and more, driving growth and diversity in our local economy.

Language

As a small agency, our goal is to help you bridge the language gap with your audience. We focus on high quality and we put care into every detail that goes into our work.

We work with human linguists that create content that reads and sounds natural.

Additionally, these linguists are native speakers in the target language so that the end product sounds like it was originally produced rather than translated or interpreted.

With over 14 years of experience, we have helped hundreds of happy clients with interpretation and translation services all over the world.

TESTIMONIALS FROM CLIENTS

What a wonderful experience we recently had with Valdes Language Services! With a rather tight turnaround requested, Laura and her Team provided exceptional support and expertise in a recent translation review project for our organization.

The translator exceeded all expectations and dedicated time to not only learn the details of the nuanced terminology associated with our organization’s industry, but also reviewed our website and provided constructive feedback on how we could improve content that had been previously translated by a different vendor. In addition, the translator offered to review the finalized mailer that was being translated to ensure that it read appropriately in the relevant language after it had been formatted with the translation. It was clear that the translator devoted additional time and effort to ensure that content would be accurate.

Thank you to Laura and her Team for the devoted efforts that went into making our translations meaningful and effective for our customers!

We ran into a scheduling conflict with our in-house translator when our client had a super quick turn-around. I reached out to Laura and she came to our rescue! Not only was she quick to respond (and remained responsive throughout the entire process), but she was able to accommodate our project timeline and produce incredible work under short notice. Her Spanish translations of twelve English TV + Radio scripts in 48hrs was outstanding and our client was EXTREMELY impressed with the quality of the results. Laura is a true professional and a pleasure to work with, I recommend her & her team to anyone looking for top notch language services!

Valdes Language Services was very reliable and professional. We used them for a big craft event we hosted where they translated a variety of craft demonstrations. They did a great job! We would work with them again.

Laura was recommended to me to copyedit and do Spanish and English translation for my new book and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She was very professional and easy to work with and really captured the spirit and nuances of the original texts. She was also able to work quickly and with our (sometimes short) deadlines, which I really appreciated. I look forward to working with her and Valdes Language Services, LLC on my next projects!
