About
he Day Translations Editorial Team is the in-house desk behind the unsigned features on this blog: industry explainers, language guides, country and culture briefs, and the kind of evergreen reference work that needs more than one specialist on it. The team brings together certified translators, interpreters, and localization editors with decades of combined experience across 500+ languages, the same network that powers Day Translations' work for governments, courts, hospitals, and global enterprises since 2007. Every piece published under this byline is researched, written, and reviewed by working linguists on staff, then edited against the same standards we apply to client work. When you see this name on a story, it means more than one expert stood behind the words.
