What do they need?

LinguaSphere Solutions required a precise and culturally sensitive translation from English to Inuinnaqtun, a rare indigenous language of Canada, to support cultural preservation efforts.

The challenges

This project needs close attention and great care to ensure its accuracy. The Inuinnaqtun is a rare and endangered language, making it difficult to find qualified translators who are not only fluent but also knowledgeable about cultural contexts. 

So, we had to ensure our translation respects and preserves the cultural integrity of the Inuit people and requires a deep understanding of cultural nuances and sensitivities. 

Lastly, the project demanded a swift turnaround within 3 to 6 business days, balancing the need for speed with the necessity of maintaining high-quality standards.
