DON CLARK is a native English speaker who has spent much of his professional life abroad.
ELISABETTA MAZZANTINI-CLARK is a native Italian speaker and is ATA-certified English into Italian.
Based in the oldest capital in the United States, Santa Fe, New Mexico, we conveniently serve the major nearby metropolitan centers of Las Vegas, Denver, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston and Albuquerque and can easily reach any other location in the US.
We have hundreds of hours of interpreting experience in both simultaneous and consecutive mode: many international conferences, depositions in the US and abroad, trials and other court procedures, and dozens of traveling seminars with the U.S. Department of State on a wide variety of subjects.
As to translations, the best products are the result of combining native language competency in the source language with native language competency in the target language. But this is not enough: a profound awareness of the subtle cultural specificities and differences is paramount to producing a translation that is truly excellent. Only native speakers, who have lived most of their lives in their native country, can "feel" a language and have the required rich cultural background.
And that's exaclty our strength: a combined linguistic as well as cultural awareness and competency.
To achieve the highest quality in our translation work, we always work together as a team, proofreading each other's translations, both in Italian and in French, to deliver the best possible product to the client.
And, when working in Italian, we are able to ensure a native understanding of the source language/cultural background and a native rendering in the target language.
The result is a professional product in which the hand of the translator is invisible.
