Many years ago, when the “wonderful” mobile applications with which we translate other languages to greater or less success weren't even a thought, there were people who made it possible for people who spoke different languages to understand each other.These hard-working professionals were fluent in at least two languages and were the pioneers of the profession that the members of the Okodia- Grupo traductor team practice today.We're talking about the first translators and interpreters:those long-forgotten historical figures without whose efforts none of us would be here today.

Doubts plague you. You run a business and you want it to get a leg up, but it seems that it’s no longer enough to communicate or sell only in Spanish. So, you think that the perfect solution is to hire a translation agency to give you a hand. But, how do you choose the best?
