Additional Services offered by OLA

Translating Services

As many of our clients work with many countries throughout the world, there is often a need for documents to be translated into particular languages. OLA provides translations for business, legal, medical and technical texts in all major languages. Our goal is to complete translations in a timely, effective and efficient manner at competitive rates. The turn around time and cost for translations depends on the length and technicality of each document. Each project is quoted a price and completion date as soon as our translator has briefly reviewed a sample of the material to be translated. One-page letters can usually be turned around in 24-48 hours while a 25 page technical document may take longer.

Interpreting Services

OLA also provides interpreters for meetings, depositions, dinner engagements, company tours, conferences, training sessions, telephone calls and many other occasions.
