Certified Translation Services -  Accreditations & Certifications

NATIONS has come a long way since it first began over 30 years ago. During those three decades, we’ve been very busy building our company, our services, and our facilities to better serve our diverse range of clients from both the private and public sectors.

Along the way, we’ve been diligent about meeting all industry standards relating to translation services, security, and the use of technology. As trusted providers of professional translation services, we strive not just to meet these benchmarks but exceed them, pushing our sector to ever-higher levels of excellence as we help clients connect and communicate with diverse audiences.

Professional translation services

Every industry evolves, and the language services sector is no different. NATIONS’ translators are constantly innovating, using the latest translation techniques and adopting cutting-edge technologies to offer more precise, nuanced, and accurate translations.

But don’t just take our word for it. NATIONS has achieved a number of professional certifications, awarded by independent adjudicators and revised in line with evolving benchmarks. These include the gold standard of language services - CAN/CGSB-131.10, the Canadian National Standard for translation service providers.

We’ve also obtained the following ISO standards: 

  • ISO 27001:2013 – Information Security Management Systems

  • ISO 17100:2015-05 – Translation Services

  • ISO 18587:2017 – Translation Services – Post-Editing – AI Machine Translation

These are global benchmarks, awarded by the International Organization for Standardization to indicate that a provider has met the threshold for quality of service. 

Supporting Canada’s language services industry

As an active and longstanding member of Canada’s language services sector, NATIONS takes its role in the industry very seriously. We believe that industry associations are strengthened by the participation of all stakeholders - not only to provide diverse perspectives, but also to give these bodies a stronger voice when it comes to advocating for changes that improve the way we do business and serve our clients.

With this in mind, NATIONS is an active member of the Canadian Language Industry Association, the Canadian General Standards Board and other impactful organizations who operate at the highest level to safeguard industry standards, respond to emerging trends, and shape government policies relating to the language services sector.
