The skillset required to be a talented interpreter is much more involved than language fluency alone. It includes characteristics like being well-spoken, a quick thinker, able to remain two steps ahead at all times, multi-tasking, as well as having an intuitive sense of people and their intentions. Without these qualities, an interpreter will have difficulty…

Having used other translation services in the past, I know that quality of service can vary greatly from one place to the next. Our events planning team and international clients have been very pleased with the professionalism, attitude, and exceptional service we receive through Chang-Castillo. We are always pleased with the consistent communication and greatly value the working relationship that we have formed. By far, Chang-Castillo has been the most organized, detail-oriented service that meets our international needs. This group has provided valuable solutions through our partnership.

Chang-Castillo and Associates were meticulous in their preparation and delivery. They were not merely accurate in their interpreting, but worked so hard to ensure the ideas being expressed came fully to life. Just got back from a conference in Hungary where the interpreters sent everyone to sleep – flat as a pancake. A great contrast with Chang-Castillo and Associates!

I cannot overstress the wonderful working relationship we had with you and your staff during our World Meet Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. You certainly took charge of this aspect of our event to ensure that everything was in place and well-rehearsed prior to the first speaker taking the stage. From the onset, I realized that we were in good hands. Onsite, we found your staff of interpreters to be courteous, well-educated and well suited to the intricacies of working within a high-attendance conference situation. It is a good thing that for the most part, we didn't even know they were there! Judging by reviews we received from our international attendees, your staff also was superb in their language skills. I should also mention that we found your services were competitively-priced and fit well within our budget. We will certainly be in touch prior to our next annual conference event.
