The Drake Language Solutions is a translation company specialized in simultaneous interpreting, proofreading, notetaking, transcribing and translations in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Our professionals are prepared to work both on small interpreting or translation projects and large corporate events or integrated, high-tech solutions.
We strive to understand the needs of each individual client and adapt to them. An important part of our journey, for example, is dedicated to simultaneous market research translations, where the best interpreters don’t just translate what is being said, but also the emotions behind the words.
Whatever the project’s format, subject or size, our processes are adapted and optimized, with a human perspective and attention to every detail.
Your international client will be extremely satisfied with a simultaneous interpretation that pulses as consumers express their opinions and emotions!
We provide a fast professional (human) translation process and ensure high translation quality with our team of native-speaking proofreaders
We have the right solution for you, in case you need a system for small groups. Contact us to align the details of your event.

Nelsom Marangoni | CEO at MC15 Consultoria Treinamento Pesquisa
Effective interpretation goes far beyond translating the words. When I am observing groups it is key to grasp the why behind the what, and this is in part linked to the tone of what is being said. With The Drake I was struck by the interpreters’ efforts and emphasis on the respondents’ tone of voice and energy, which really helped to understand the feelings behind perceptions. They really care about what they do, and that, combined with top notch interpreting skills, means that I come away from the fieldwork with a real sense of the Brazilian specificity on the project. I simply wouldn’t work with anyone else.
Kevin Singer | Founding Partner, Kevin's Edge
I personally find The Drake's rigour, professionalism & culture-fit to be best-in-class in the industry – a perfect fit for 8-th Day
Andy Connor | Founding Partner, 8th Day
The Drake is a strong team of world class translators. We’ve had the joy of working together for many years and both Simone and her colleagues have enabled the Spinach team to feel deeply connected with Brazilian research participants - not only because they’re highly skilled, but also because they’re highly collaborative and great cultural observers. It’s rare to team up with translators elsewhere in the world who are this dedicated and fun to work with!
Lucy Morris | Owner at Spinach and Market Research Consultant
I always feel very confident when I start working on an international project and The Drake is resposible for the translation. I feel confident that the client will have an honest translation and will not ask the moderator to reask questions that have already been answered. Not to mention the professionals' kindness and level of awareness of their roles within the projects, they are always very careful not to interefere or give their opinions on the study's findings.
Mariana Fernandes | Independent Qualitative Researcher
The Drake is a serious company, that adds value to quality and is entirely realiable.
Luzia Celeste Rodrigues | Director at Sinapses Inteligência
The Drake came to put order into the research interpreting market.
Pedro Araújo Carrança | Research Director – Head of Qualitative Practice at Kantar Millward Brown
We have worked with Simone and her team on a variety of projects – group discussions and in-home visits to many different parts of São Paulo. I have worked in over 25 countries over the last 10 years and Simone is the best simultaneous translator I have worked with and The Drake's team is particularly skilled at bringing to life people’s thoughts, feelings and the reality of their everyday lives in a way that is easy to understand, sympathetic and, where relevant, humorous. They are also very insightful about life in contemporary Brazil and good at explaining the social context that helps to explain both what people are saying and why they are saying it.
Richard Woods | Founding Partner at Show Me Consulting, Inc
The word that sums up our partnership with The Drake is 'trust'. For Pinch is very important not only the quality of our translations, but also the commitment with deadlines and efficacy in the deliveries. With The Drake, we have peace of mind! Helen and Danielle, Directors
Helen Pinch e Danielle Miranda | Co-founders at Pinch
I have been working with The Drake for 15 years in our innumerous Market Research projects. It is The Drake’s total quality policy that makes us keep this excellent long-term relationship with them, which is also the same reason why they conquered us. Their team is highly skilled, not only in regards to simultaneous interpreting, but also written translations. Additionally, they are punctual, flexible and contribute to our end clients receiving the highest standard services. I consider The Drake a really strong bond in our chain of values and I recommend them to the companies that add value to ‘state of the art’ services from all of their vendors.
Zilda Knoploch | Owner & CEO at Arion Inovação & Inteligencia
It was a pleasure working with you! We were very happy with your services. You were quick to respond to all emails and translations were quick and very affordable. We can’t thank you enough and look forward to the next time we work together! Thanks so much!
