Why Spokane International Translation?
Over 160
carefully screened and tested interpreters/translators. The majority
are not only bi-lingual but also bi-cultural. They are able to aid in
the communication process between people from a foreign country and the
manner in which the United States functions. Many of our interpreters
are Washington State Medically Certified Interpreters; all are highly
qualified. Marta Reyes, the owner, is a Washington State
Court Certified Spanish Interpreter, and is also a State-certified
Medical and Social Service Interpreter.
Bi-cultural
owner, with special understanding of issues involved in successful
translations and interpretation between two different cultures.
Prompt
and responsive service. Since our inception, we have successfully
provided language interpretive services to the Spokane community with
an efficiency rate of 99%+. In other words, when you need an
interpreter, we get you one, every single time, relieving your staff of
the difficult and sometimes tedious and frustrating time it takes to
find an interpreter. This service is included, at no charge, in our
hourly interpretive rates.
Efficient
billing and accounting procedures. For example, we provide our own
Independent Contractor form which the interpreter takes to the
assignment, gets signed by the appropriate person and returns to us. We
invoice you and in turn pay the interpreter, saving you the staff time,
paperwork and postage.
Professional
“Errors and Omissions Insurance” liability coverage.

Background Information
Spokane International Translation was formed in June of 1995 to serve
the ever growing translation and interpretation needs of the Spokane
County medical, business and legal communities. At the request of the
Spokane Language Bank (a volunteer organization created in 1974 to meet
the foreign languages needs of Expo ’74), we merged that group into our
company and so began with 20 languages and a dedicated group of
interpreters. Since then, we have continued to expand and are now able
to provide the area with at least 47 languages and over 200 independent
contractors. Most are native speakers, college educated and live right
here in Spokane County. How diverse we have become! Perciba was
incorporated in July 2002 to serve as the parent company of Spokane
International Translation. Its primary focus is developing customized
intensive immersion natural language training programs for English,
Spanish, French, Russian, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and German.
The Natural Language Instructor Training program trains and certifies
all of Perciba's instructors to successfully implement its
programs. Perciba is also developing language learning tools
which will enhance any language course regardless of where it is taught
or who is teaching it..
