It is a very vague-sounding term, but it basically means any sort of effort, organization, or program geared towards making life better for those living in underdeveloped countries and regions. This could mean anything from raising money to provide better healthcare in a country, helping local businesses flourish, or just providing food and clean water. As long as it is helping another country in need, it is global development.

Alpha Omega Translations has worked over the years with several international development organizations translating everything from brochures to training material. We are especially active as the translation agency that many refugee crisis and relief organizations come to for their translations. They aren’t the only groups that  Alpha Omega Translations works with, but they are the ones that are most relevant at this time and that have been helped the most thanks to our translation services.

So what is it that gives us that edge in this particular sector? First of all, we have teams that are experts in this kind of work and translation. They are very skilled at handling any type of translation that gets sent to them and have experience working in the different fields that make up international development. A translation might be anything from a brochure about clean water to a press release about the progress an organization is making in a particular area. Project management is key to keeping everything running smoothing when it comes to these kinds of translations, since each organization has such specific requirements and needs.

Besides providing top-quality translations of crucial information and content in exactly the right language, we also make sure the organizations we work with don’t have to wait long at all to get their finished translations. Alpha Omega Translations understands that time is of the essence in most cases, and that some information needs to be treated with extra care and discretion. We provide continuous support as well, so that anything that needs to be updated can be done so quickly and in the same style as before, if indicated. This also helps us to build up a trusting and professional relationship with the organizations that come to us for translation services.

International development is a hugely important sector that will always be something that we need in this world, especially with all that is going on currently. Without the translations provided by us, the organizations that help refugees, citizens of countries with little money for healthcare, unemployed people in certain regions, etc., would not be able to do their work essentially. If the people you are trying to help don’t know the language you are speaking to them, how are they supposed to trust you and then benefit from your help? That is where Alpha Omega Translations steps in as a translation agency that wants to do its part.
