Who We Are
ARCADIA TRANSLATIONS is a Language Service Provider founded in 2006 and based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
We are known in the industry as the translation company with 5 partners. This is a nice, uneven number in case we need to put things to a vote! The 5 of us met 14 years ago and quickly became friends as we shared a ton of interests, including our love of books, all things nerdy, and a fascination with languages. We were of similar age and so going through similar moments in life, and we were all translators.
We put our minds and hearts together and founded ARCADIA TRANSLATIONS in 2006. It was the beginning of an idea, which quickly took off and became a fully-fledged company in 2008.
In 2012, after months of careful planning and preparation, we became a fully remote company. This change was driven by our vision for ARCADIA TRANSLATIONS as an eco-friendly company that enables people to remain active members of their communities, wherever they may be. We are a company that makes it easier for employees to find a work-life balance and whose talent pool is not limited by location. We believed that the then emerging technologies would soon evolve and remote work would be the new way to work. Remote work is still in its early stages, but we have been at the forefront from the beginning. We have managed to successfully run a tight company remotely for 8 years now, and technology is only making it easier.
Our mission has remained true throughout these changes: to provide Integral, Quality Linguistic Solutions to customers, companies and government organizations in Latin America and the rest of the world.
We have earned the trust of hundreds of national and international companies due to our dedicated team of over 40 hardworking, multi-skilled linguists, strictly monitored quality assurance processes, and the experience we have acquired after thousands of completed projects. We have been confidently chosen to be the link between their international interests and an endless array of possibilities offered by the Latin American market.
Our base is in Argentina, but we have a global network of collaborators in many different countries that allows us to provide services to clients in all time zones and cover all linguistic regional dialects. With over 12 million words translated and edited in 2019 alone, and an average of over 15,000 projects processed per year, we have solidified our position as one of the Top 10 Language Service Providers in Latin America.
We are part of the most important international industry associations, such as GALA (Globalization and Localization Association) and ALC (Association of Language Companies). We also participate actively in organizations such as Women in Localization and the Argentine Association of Linguistic Services (AASL). The latter is a civil association that represents all Argentine companies within the Translation Industry, on a local, regional, and international level.
For us, this is still the beginning. Our main goal of solidifying new business relationships feels as invigorating and exciting as it did ten years ago.
Let your goals become ours too, so we can explore this wonderful world of languages together and bridge the gap between the many different cultures of this increasingly globalized world.
Quality Policy
Arcadia Translations was founded to provide comprehensive linguistic solutions for all industries, with a focus on professional, high-quality service, an exceptional level of customer service, and the continuous development of new tools and solutions. All this in strict compliance with current legal and administrative requirements, and always with an ultimate goal in mind: to achieve the highest standards required by our clients.
Through a streamlined system based on dedicated professionals, established processes, and a commitment to the continuous improvement of our quality management system, we seek to become the trusted provider of those companies seeking to localize their content or sell their products or services in the Latin America market and the rest of the world.
Arcadia Translations has been a fully-remote company for more than eight years. This change was driven by our goal to become an innovative company that encourages mobility, flexibility, and honesty as fundamental values. We want to provide our employees with a framework that will allow them to find work-life balance, and we don’t want geography to be a limitation when we select personnel. We want to focus instead on interpersonal characteristics and key values, such as teamwork, autonomy, and constant collaboration.
