Streamline Communication in Multilingual Workforces With ASTA-USA’s Human Resources Translation Services


Human Resources translation services are required more than ever with many companies turning to remote operations. With the ability to source top talent from anywhere in the world, HR forms like I-9 Forms, HR policy manuals, operational instructions, employee handbooks, or employment agreements and contracts often require English to Spanish, French to English, or even Mandarin to Cantonese translations.   

Need an HR document translated into one of these languages, or any other major language? Give us a call at 1.866.446.1860.

According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 1 in 5 Americans in 2019 spoke a language other than English at home. This figure doesn’t include the millions of others worldwide who do not speak English at all. This challenges HR professionals who are not multilingual and do not have access to a diverse panel of human translators. Document translation services are crucial to ensuring that all employees, potential employees, or other internal partners have access to the information found in important employee handbooks or operations manuals. This, in turn, ensures quality production or service, but can also prevent accidents, mistakes, omissions, and costly lawsuits. 

Human resources translation services are also useful in aiding pre-employment research. For example, translations may be needed for the HR team to conduct thorough background checks, contact former employers, or verify experience and education. 

ASTA-USA’s Dedication to Security and Confidentiality 

Because of the confidential nature of HR documents like employee handbooks, HR policies, or other sensitive employee information, many hesitate to use human resources translation services for fear of data leaks or other breaches in security. Additionally, they fear inaccuracies with legal document translations like Labor Laws, FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) paperwork, or Worker’s Compensation complaints. In these cases, any omissions or errors within these Labor Law documents. can result in heavy legal fines, time-consuming and expensive court costs, or damaging settlements. 

This is why it is crucial to turn to an experienced, trusted document translation agency. ASTA-USA Translation Services, Inc. has provided confidential support and guidance with language services like translations, interpretations, transcriptions, and subtitling of HR content since 1987.

How much do professional document translation services cost?

The cost of HR translation for HR documents varies significantly, depending on the scope of the project, the word or page count, the languages involved, and a plethora of other factors. The best way to determine the overall cost of human resources translation services or other document translations is to request a free quote. 

Are there any languages that can’t be translated?

While there are countless machine translation tools equipped with limited language capabilities, humans have an innate ability to communicate with and understand one another. As long as the translator is able to speak both languages involved, they are able to create translations that make sense—even when direct translations of individual words or phrases do not exist. This is because they can identify what is being said and then draw from their knowledge and expertise to convey the same sentiment in another language. This ability is required in all translations or interpretations, even common ones like Spanish translations.

What’s the difference between free translation tools and certified translation services?

The biggest difference between free translation tools and certified translation services that rely on human expertise is that machines are unable to understand certain language nuances and the intent behind words or phrases. A translation tool attempts to create direct, literal translations of each word. This leaves a lot of room for error and does not take localization or the overall intent into consideration. This is crucial for precise translations from one language to another, particularly when translating legal or HR documents where the overall intent of the document must be understood.
