Ontario, even though we regularly work only
in 25-35 language combinations, we
constantly recruit translators and
interpreters in Languages of Lesser
Diffusion (LLD) to make sure that we would
be able to assist those members of the
community that do not speak one of the
official languages.

The National Language and Cultural Expo is
an excellent venue to network, to showcase
our services to potential clients as well as
to recruit freelance translators and
interpreters.

to present at the Expo?
Multi-Languages will showcase our
translation and interpretation services, our
staff will be available to answer any
questions not only about our services but
about the translation and interpreting
sector in general. We will contribute as
well through a workshop on how to create a
professional resume and time management for
the translation and interpreting field and
by participating in the organization of a
panel about translation and interpreting
standards.
