About Us

Rooted in Central Wisconsin

Marathon Translations is central Wisconsin's multilingual gateway to the global marketplace of products, services and ideas. We provide an in-house staff of language professionals and work with a network of subcontractors whose native-language competency and specialization expertise have been validated by thorough screening.

Rooted in Words

Project managers at Marathon Translations are communication experts with extensive backgrounds in translating, writing, editing and publishing. In mating translators to client projects, we assign linguists who are not only experienced translators but also accomplished writers in their native tongues. For editing and proofreading, we select language professionals with bicultural expertise in the subject area of the translation.

Rooted in High Standards

We adhere to high professional standards at Marathon Translations. Our in-house specialists are certified linguists and members of the American Translators Association (ATA), the Upper Midwest Translators and Interpreters Association (UMTIA) and the Society of Technical Communicators (STC).

Rooted in Sound Values

At Marathon Translations, we employ the latest computer hardware and language software on both Windows and Mac platforms in order to interface better with you, our clients. But in our hearts, we know that the ultimate interface is person-to-person and culture-to-culture. New technology and instantaneous worldwide communications are indispensable today, but we believe they must be used in tandem with the sound, old-fashioned values of respect, integrity, courtesy and personal service. We believe that technology should bring people together, not isolate them from one another or replace them. That is our goal. And our pledge as multilingual service providers.

Good on our word--and yours
