Cogitco began as a primarily English translation company founded in Montreal in 1989. Today it has grown to become a dynamic player in the language industry, and has broadened its service offering to languages covering all parts of the globe, including in-house expertise in Canadian French and Canadian, U.S. and British English.
Our highly successful approach based on support for our client€™s image through the personalized use of language, along with the combined expertise of our staff and selected freelancers, add up to a winning equation: top-quality, guaranteed service to meet any deadline.
Cogitco€™s service offer covers the range of your language communication needs: translation, revision, proofreading, editing, adaptation, localization, language consulting (brands, slogans, advertising), copywriting by marketing experts, transcriptions and verbatim translations from mp3 and DVD, among others. Our main areas of expertise include both the technical and marketing aspects of the financial industry (banking, insurance, trust, securities), legal translation (prospectus, contracts, leases), technical and scientific translation (natural gas, coal mining, lumber, pulp and paper, environment), computer technology translation (manuals, software, websites) and medical translation (hospitals, pharmaceuticals).
Our staff is supported by leading-edge translation software and technology to assist them in research and help maintain consistency among projects carried out for the same client. Our ftp site enables us to move immense files with ease, and our powerful server makes it possible for us to work closely with freelancers who are able to access the various technology required for their projects, and remain in contact with other members of their respective teams.
