Services provided:

Simultaneous Interpretation

Consecutive Interpretation

Human Translation

Certified Translation

Challenges:

As an international organization in one of the most diverse regions in the world, AFC requires accurate understanding of complex and often highly sensitive and confidential information.
Client’s content requires highest level of confidentiality.
AFC organizes numerous events of highest level. Often in collaboration with other high profile organizations such as FIFA and Interpol. The events involve large number of non-English speakers, and require support from reliable and experienced team of conference interpreters as well as technical support to deliver the interpretation service.

Solutions:

1. Most of the translation is required into and from few global languages. High sensitive content translation is performed fully with in-house linguists to avoid any risk of information leakage. All the content is shared only over our secure portal that is certified for information security. Certain content is required to be translated into English: for this purpose we have engaged bilingual or native to English linguists.

2. We have selected and assembled team of most suitable conference interpreters. Special attention was given to ability to interpret in both ways as delegates are often engaged in discussion. We have also managed to keep the team composition consistent for up to 80% of all events over the past years.

Results:

Maven International has been trusted language service provider for AFC since 2013. Throughout our cooperation in conference interpretation we have had fail free track of record and have delivered high quality translation services.

Client's Testimonial:

"Maven has a long-standing relationship with the AFC. In that time, their consultants have provided thousands of pages of translations in a number of different global languages. Maven are entrusted with translating highly-sensitive and commercially-confidential documents, and have done so in a timely and professional manner. I highly recommend them.”
