About Confluent Translations

We get a lot of comments about our name Confluent Translations. We chose our name because we believe our translation and related services can be the difference in a company’s experience when doing business globally. Good translation and cultural training can make everything a company does fall into place in the wider global market. When waters converge, it can be as smooth as rivers merging or be a violent crashing of waves. We’re all about making the global business experience as smooth as possible. You (and your global customers, partners, and employees) will appreciate the joy of engaging with people, products and processes in their first language. That’s the most respectful way to conduct business around the world…and the most profitable.

Confluent Translations was founded in 1992 as NCS Enterprises, and kept that name through most of its history. We changed our name to Confluent Translations in 2010 to more clearly reflect the way we work with customers. No matter the name, the mission remains to provide true communication between people of different languages and cultures.

That means we’re focused on understanding your message, and helping you deliver that message to people living and working in other countries and cultures, or those in the United States. We’re not in the translation business; we’re in the communications business. This mission has driven us down a different path than other translation firms.

As the translation industry matured, we watched the culture, processes, and mission of the large agencies shift away from personalized service and exacting detail. Translations happened at a faster pace, but something was lost. As firms grew, their target client grew in size, and many smaller companies did not receive the attention to detail or customer service they needed.

That’s why we developed our company values:

  • Strong ethical behavior with integrity.
  • Respect for those who work with us and within Confluent.
  • Commitment to our Clients.
  • Building a collaborative environment.

We love working with client’s of any size, but especially with organizations who feel “burned” by previous translation experiences. We’ve developed our process to ensure each and every client not only gets the work done, but they understand how translation fits into their organization….right down to the budgeting process. 

At Confluent Translations, we do things the way they should be done. We use actual human beings to translate what you mean…what you are trying to communicate. So every subtlety, every nuance of your message is clearly delivered to your international audience.
