Specialties

The language business is very serious and is often quite personal; therefore we are pleased to say that virtually all of our business comes from referrals. Some of the companies that use and recommend us are large foreign-owned internationals like Stihl and Ciba Specialty Chemicals; others like Tarmac and General Aircraft have technically demanding international dealings. All, from local law firms to specialists in economic development, know we have the power, the depth and the expertise to manage their translation projects for them from beginning to end. Quite simply, if your needs are for the translation of business, technical, medical or legal documents, all you have to do is call. We will come-highly recommended. The Language Group provides a full range of translation solutions for leading technology, manufacturing, public relations, and government organization in technical documentation, software localization, Web and multimedia applications. Each translation provided by The Language Group is created by a team of translators, editors, and proofreaders who are native speakers of the target language and specialists in their subject areas. It is important to remember that language interpreting is a discipline different from translation and requires a linguist with good delivery, good diction, and the ability to quickly articulate the same word or sentence in a different language. The Language Group only works with discreet interpreters with proven track records...

History

Established in 1999.

Giovanni Donatelli, a VA Tech graduate, founded The Language Group in April of 1999. Business was growing but not consistently, however by 2012, business was getting to a point that Mr. Donatelli needed full time support. Mr. Donatelli's wife, Chrysta, joined the company as bookkeeper and overall financial manager. In 2013, Mr. Donatelli went back to school to complete his MBA. During that time, The Language Group hired its first employee. By 2014, Mrs. Donatelli was so busy with the company that it made sense for her to be majority owner of the company. And although, Mr. Donatelli may be the visionary and industry expert of the company, there are some elements of the business where Mrs. Donatelli's background in financial and personnel oversight ensure the company's success. By 2018, the company is one of the fastest growing language services companies in the country.
