Multi-Language Translations and Transcriptions

A Smaller WorldToday, the world is growing smaller. Technology has made it possible to run IDIs (In-depth Interviews) and Focus Groups around the world in real time using web-enabled and wireless cell technology and advanced fiber optic phone lines.

The Tower of BabelDespite advances in technology, the world is still far away from speaking one universal language. Yet in a global economy with international brands, it is essential that marketers and others understand what consumers and respondents think.

Interpretation is KeyAs a result, hundreds of IDIs and Focus Groups are run every day in multiple languages, frequently in languages not spoken by the product sponsor. To enable the right decisions, it is critical that interpretation of respondent thinking is accurately translated.
