Release Summary: Greenville, SC, November 12, 2008 - In July,
after a rigorous selection process, Foreign Translations, Inc.
(www.foreigntranslations.com),
through its General Services Administration (GSA) contract with
the federal government, was awarded and recently completed a financial
translation services contract with the FDIC. The project involved
translating numerous training modules for the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Money Smart Financial Education Program
into Hmong.
Press
Release Body: The FDIC Money Smart Program
assists individuals with a minimal understanding of the banking
structure to develop positive financial practices. The
FDIC Money Smart Program has surpassed its goals in reaching
over a million consumers and establishing over a thousand partnerships.
The FDIC encourages the building of partnerships within
communities to further the success rate of reaching more consumers.
The FDIC believes that the more information people
gather about banking and credit services, the more likely they
are to purchase a home, save more money, and improve their overall
financial well-being. According to the FDIC,
training modules will be utilized throughout the United States,
specifically in concentrated areas such as California and New
York. The project will launch at the start of the New Year 2009.
Foreign
Translations, Inc., worked diligently to ensure that
the training modules were translated accurately, understanding
that it is of great importance that those participating in the
courses fully comprehend the mission of the Money Smart
Program. The FDIC stated that Foreign
Translations, Inc., assisted in providing a smooth process
in translating the large volume and returning the content in a
timely manner. To provide this accurate translation, Foreign
Translations, Inc. ensured that Hmong was
the native language of the translators assigned to the project,
and that their area of expertise is in financial translations.
Utilizing a financial translator native to the target language
and knowledgeable in the financial services industry is the only
way to ensure the effectiveness and accuracy of the FDIC
documents. The project lasted three months with close
and frequent communication between the FDIC and
Foreign Translations’ Hmong translators.
Foreign Translations, Inc. felt privileged to
take part in this constructive governmental financial process
to provide assistance to the public.
