Consulting

Having the expert advice of a consulting group who acquired their experience by cultural immersion and dedicated study is a precious asset when working globally or targeting multiple ethnic groups.

When that level of expertise is not found inhouse, then you need a consultant.

Making favorable first impressions and specialty crafting messages to engage your target audience translates into effective communications, sound business relationships, and profits.

CIT has earned a reputation among public and private entities as a solid and dependable partner who uplifts its client’s multicultural and multilingual efforts.

Interpreting

Interpreting is an art form that requires extraordinary cognitive abilities. Interpreting is “verbal translation,” in which an interpreter utters the meaning of what was said in the target language after hearing it once in a source language.

 The most common modes of interpreting are simultaneous, performed the time of the exposure to the source language, and consecutive, performed by taking turns with the speaker.

CIT provides remote and in-person interpreting services for 1 or 1000 people.

Translation

CIT follows sophisticated processes to handcraft and represent your ideas within the context of a different language and culture. Translations are effective to the extent you can reach your target audience’s heart and intellect and compel them to act.

Translation: the process of writing words or text from one language into another.

 

Localization: cultural adaptation. Transmits the meaning of the words in a way that is culturally appropriate and connects with the audience more effectively. It simply goes further than translation, including images and color assessment, layouts, time, and date formats. In other words, localization includes copy and images for a specific audience or market.

 

Transcreation: a blend of localization and creative writing. It targets the emotions.

If you need Translation, Localization, or Transcreation, we can help. Please request an assessment and no-obligation quote by emailing us at info@cit.agency

“Gabby has the ability to give people a voice and convey powerful messages during key conversations. Her experience as an international interpreter with an “ear for detail” positions her at the very top of her trade. Very few interpreters have the capacity and skill to engage their trade in multiple areas, often they choose a field (medical, educational, legal) and they remain in that field. Gabby is one of the few that excels in all fields. Gabby is a part of our team and we call upon her often. She is reliable, consistent and hardworking.”
 

Kristin Decas

CEO & Port Director, Port of Hueneme

“I have known Gabriela Mellado for over 15 years and have retained her services for numerous government projects. She is a trusted advisor and a creative problem solver. Her positive personality always lifts up those around her, and she is a well-qualified professional communicator who removes obstacles and engages the people! She is one of the best Spanish interpreter/translator I have ever met. I recommend her very highly.”
 

Claudia Tedford

Principal CityPlace Planning, AICP

“Gabriela aptly represents GBA’s business interests to Mexican business leaders, government dignitaries, port officials, trade associations, and the maritime community at large. She is adept at working with people at all levels because of her knowledge and language skills, calm disposition, and absolute trustworthiness. Her experience has taught her how to balance the divergent viewpoints and the cultural perspectives of others. Gabriela’s mastery of diplomacy and protocol in our day-to-day communications makes her an excellent partner to my company (GBA). I highly recommend Gabriela for any job you may be considering using her for.”
 

Gus T Hein

President, Global Business Advocates

“Gabby helped us during many international trade missions and important negotiations with world-renowned companies and governments. At a time when things are uncertain during negotiations, business proposals, and logistics, it is comforting to know that professionals like Gabby will ensure that there are no misunderstandings and that dialogue can continue. Gabby’s skills go beyond just translation and interpretation. She has the ability to connect with people so that communication is natural and effective. We highly recommend Gabby at The Port of Hueneme.”
