The Orange Book of Translation Companies is meant for organizations that buy translation and localization services. It contains a deep listing of LSPs that provided us with the information needed to evaluate their readiness to serve your needs. It provides useful information to better inform your vendor selection.

The Levels

• Level 1: Checklisted LSP. Passing this free review will qualify an LSP to be listed as a qualifying supplier.
• Level 2a: Validated LSP. Passing this free review and reference check acknowledges your LSP's work and customer satisfaction earning the rank of Validated LSPs.

A translation company is an organism with three subsystems: processes and procedures, the technology that supports them, and most importantly, the people who make it all happen.
