Translation Memory Savings

Maximize Efficiency and Cut Costs

For businesses dealing with large volume translations, Barbier offers an innovative and cost-effective solution through our Translation Memory (TM) tool. Our TM technology ensures consistency in tone, terminology, and glossary across all translations, while simultaneously reducing costs and improving efficiency.

By leveraging pre-translated segments stored in our translation memory, we provide tiered pricing that scales with your project’s volume. As the amount of content increases, the savings grow—significantly lowering translation costs while maintaining the quality and accuracy you expect. The result? Faster turnaround times, eliminated redundancy, and consistent messaging across all of your translated content.

Our Translation Memory Savings not only make translation projects more affordable but also allow us to streamline your entire translation process, saving time and resources. With our cutting-edge desktop publishing solutions, we optimize workflows, ensuring that you receive translations that are timely, accurate, and cost-effective—every time.

Let Barbier help you achieve maximized savings while maintaining the highest standards of quality in your language services.

Localization

Barbier specializes in language localization for both translation and interpretation services. Whether your project requires Spanish for North American speakers, Spain, or Argentina, we have the expertise to differentiate terminology and idiomatic expressions accurately.

The same attention to detail applies to our interpreter selection process. We understand that accents are as crucial as vocabulary, so we meticulously match native accents to ensure accurate and localized interpretations for diverse audiences.

Trust Barbier to match the perfect translator or interpreter for every project requirement.

Since we act as a third party representative to your end users, this measure of protection ensures that if we were to ever omit content from your work or err in any way, our policy will cover the cost for any related content. To date, we have never had to enact this policy for any client or for any reason. We plan to keep it this way.

What our clients say about us

Prompt quotes for translation. We had a lot of files needing to be translated from English into Spanish, for purposes of accessibility by those who primarily speak the second-most spoken language in our area. Many of the files were 50-100 page manuals. Yuly Gil was our contact, and every step of the way things were handled incredibly professionally and quickly. I made clear that we had a tight timeline – no other company could guarantee that they were done in time and they came in as one of the lowest bids. We ended up receiving most of the documents by the deadline and a few shortly thereafter (this was not unreasonable considering I could not always answer questions in a timely fashion). Any time they found a typo in the English versions of the documents, they asked very clearly how they should handle it with a screenshot and specific examples. We would use this company again without hesitation and highly recommend Barbier for translation.

What a great experience we had working with Barbier during the last few years!! We were so incredibly lucky to have the two best Project Coordinators, Savy and Virginia, who truly became part of our Project Management family. They shinned not only by their skills but also because of their willingness to learn new things, the way they integrated the team as if they had been with us for years and their professionalism each and every day. We are so grateful to have had you on our team!

Barbier takes great care of our employees through the testing process. We really appreciate the face-to-face (via computer) interactions over the recorded versions we have experienced with other vendors.

What a phenomenal team! We’ve been working with Barbier to schedule indigenous language interpreters for our member hospitals and health systems for over a year. Experienced indigenous language interpreters are rare, precious, and critical to safe and equitable care. The physicians have been extremely happy with the Barbier interpreters, and very grateful. The languages we need and have had trouble finding are mostly from Guatemala and Mexico. Barbier is a wonderful resource, it was Nahuatl this week, but I’ve often needed K’iche’, Mam, Q’eqchi, Ixil and more over the last year.

The customer service is better than excellent. I work with Jorge Rodas and Diana Garcia and they have done everything humanly possible to make sure patients and providers have the interpreters they need when they need them. The interpreters themselves have never failed to be on time for appointments, but the team makes that happen–even when my request is urgent, when the provider is mistaken about the language or variant, and when the case is delicate, ongoing, and would benefit from having the same interpreter for a series of appointments.

I hope this group continues to thrive, and to expand the number of indigenous languages available!
