A Message from the Founder…
“As a child of parents who do not speak English and a sister of two deaf siblings, I have firsthand experience with the struggles faced by those negotiating a new country and culture without being proficient in the language or unable to understand. Getting pulled out of school to interpret for my parent’s appointments or unable to communicate with my sisters who were just across the kitchen table, was a very difficult scenario for my family, and as a young child hard to endure. To help others with similar issues, I founded Metaphrasis in 2007 with the dream of providing the best translation and interpretation services possible. At Metaphrasis, we take the time to get to the heart of the issue, using our extensive experience to effectively assess each situation so that we can fully understand where each person is coming from.” – Elizabeth Colon, President
Translation and interpretation are similar in their aim to deliver a message faithfully from its source, but the two are distinctly different methods. Interpretation involves spoken language while translation involves written language. Our interpreters will not focus so much on word for word interpretation but instead ensure context is accurately conveyed. Translators can provide a meaning for meaning translation of documents, websites, and other materials while also taking context and cultural nuances into account.
When you work with a translation company like Metaphrasis in Chicago, IL, you can expect accurate translations and interpretations that convey your message in a natural, meaning for meaning context
