TESTIMONIALS
Looking for translators and interpreters you can truly trust? See what our clients have to say about the team at The Drake Language Solutions:
Kevin Singer
Global Research & Brand Strategy Consulting - Kevin's Edge
Paris, France
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.
Lucy Morris
Owner at Spinach and Market Research Consultant
London, United Kingdom
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!

CEO at Enfoque

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.

We had the opportunity to use The Drake’s simultaneous translation services during a workshop. This collaboration was essential to allow the client’s international team to participate in the day’s activities. We relied on the professionalism of two qualified translators, which significantly enriched the event experience. We also greatly appreciated the pre-event process, which ensured that specific topics and subjects were thoroughly studied and translated in the best possible way.

Our journey with The Drake began long before Pukka came into being. Our bond with them endures thanks to their exceptional service, timely deliveries, and the sheer quality of their translations. When it comes to simultaneous interpretation, their knack for managing intonation, agility, and keen attention to detail truly shines. And in the realm of writing, their team’s expertise ensures precision, sparing us the hassle of dealing with common errors and wasted time. For these reasons, and many more, our trust in The Drake remains unwavering!
