Argo Translation

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the director of an education company. We're Colorado's third-largest school district, serving over 63,000 students across 90 schools with diverse educational pathways, including neighborhood, charter, magnet, online, alternative, and home education options.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Argo Translation?

We needed support with translation and interpretation services.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Argo Translation provides translation services (linguists and AI-supported), telephonic interpretation, video remote interpretation, and an AI-powered app for large events such as graduations. Argo Translation has walked alongside us as we have sought to streamline processes and amplify our impact. Some examples of translations Argo Translation produces include Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), transcripts, attendance documents, and parent letters. Interpretation is provided for parent-teacher conferences, scheduling meetings, IEP meetings, and large events (Back-to-School nights, graduations).

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 teammates from Argo Translation.

How did you come to work with Argo Translation?

We chose them because they were a great culture fit, had good value for cost, and had company values aligned with ours. Additionally, Argo Translation has a long-established commitment to exceptional customer service.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in March 2026, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Argo Translation supports the third-largest school district in Colorado with exceptional customer service. The demands for translation and interpretation have increased year-over-year, and Argo Translation continues to evolve in both deliverables and customer service. Peter (CEO) and his team are valuable thought partners and solution seekers who anticipate needs, solve complex problems, and deliver results for our multilingual students and families. For example, we provided AI-powered translation and interpretation for attendees at five graduations.

How did Argo Translation perform from a project management standpoint?

Argo Translation went above and beyond to train staff on the use of the app and was committed to success. They place a high value on relationships and making sure customers are satisfied with both the project execution as well as working within budget constraints. We mainly communicate through virtual meetings.

Argo Translation understands the nature of K–12 education funding and needs. They go above and beyond to ensure they are meeting the needs of large systems, even with a tight budget. They strive to find ways to save customers money and offer creative solutions.

I don't think there's anything they can improve on.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

I lumped several projects together. Argo has helped us do transcription and subtitle translation for very long (hour+ length) videos every quarter. They've also helped us translate various documents, employee surveys, etc.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Argo provided the deliverables we asked for in a timely and accurate manner. They have significantly increased efficiency within our transcription and translation workflow.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They seem to easily understand my needs and deliver on them. Everything has been completed to our satisfaction and on time.

What was your primary form of communication with Argo Translation?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I contacted a professional networking group to ask for translation company recommendations. Argo was mentioned more than any other company, and I agree with the recommendations—they've been a great partner for us and very easy to work with.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Argo Translation could have done differently?

The transcription gets a little weird sometimes when we're doing video to text for very lengthy videos. A lot of it is jargon, too - names specific to our business, processes specific to our business, etc. But they've been picking up on these and making improvements over time so there's less review work on my end.

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Over many projects spanning multiple years, Argo has provided and continues to provide translations of English source technical documentation to multiple languages. Projects have ranged in complexity from short-form safety documents to long-form and highly technical user/installation manuals. Each project differs with regard to needed languages (to meet specific product market requirements) and timeframes, and Argo adapts with ease to any and all requirements.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Argo Translation is my most reliable vendor in all critical aspects of project success: communication, timeliness, and quality. Very notably, and sometimes with short notice, they are able to quickly turn around a deliverable in order for me to meet a crucial deadline - usually involving printed, in-box documents that tend to have stricter deadlines due to manufacturing start-ups. They have literally never missed a committed deadline for a project. If a document contains ambiguous information in the English source (or perhaps contains an outright error), Argo's team reaches out without hesitation to ask questions. This not only ensures accurate translations, but very often leads to corrected English source. Their proven reliability and commitment to my department's documentation success has allowed us to easily expand the number of translations we offer for our products. This makes my product and program managers happy. (And when they're happy, I'm happy!)

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Argo's project management team is an all-star team of professionals, hands-down. When I send a request for a proposal, I get a response right away (usually within an hour). Projects get underway quickly once the proposal is approved on my end. Any issues with a project (for example, internal reviewers requesting updates to translated strings) are handled with professionalism and care. Projects always end on time, and with no surprises.

What was your primary form of communication with Argo Translation?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The most impressive aspect of Argo is their attention to my satisfaction as a client. During especially long-term and complicated translation projects, their company leadership has even reached out to ensure all is going well and always has their eyes open for ways to improve processes, as needed.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Argo Translation could have done differently?

None at this time. Argo is very good at getting out ahead of potential issues with a project and will proactively suggest improvements for future projects - most recently, for the document review process. They will also suggest ways (on my end) to prepare source files for more efficient translation, which cuts down on project time and cost.

We are a global company, so we need our entire website, including microsites, to be translated into various languages. Our site has hundreds of pages, so this is no small task. Every month, we fire over new content to Argo, and they send us a quote. Once approved, they do the translations, work with us to implement them, and do a QA to ensure that everything functions and displays properly. We also have them translate documents from time to time. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Traffic to our translated site, specifically the Spanish version, has contributed to us having over 1 million website views in one year, for the first time ever. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The initial launch of the translations took a lot longer than and was more costly than we expected. This was mostly due to the custom nature of our WordPress site. There was a lot of trial and error with settings and deployment. After the initial launch, our monthly updates have gone a lot smoother. While there are still bugs in WordPress, we work well together to address and circumvent these bugs. Argo always communicates and delivers our monthly assets in a timely manner. 

What was your primary form of communication with Argo Translation?

• Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They are always willing to jump in and test things with us, whether they bring in a WPML consultant or do trial and error themselves. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Argo Translation could have done differently?

Having more local WPML consultant partners would be helpful. Part of what delayed our initial launch so much was that the consultant was in Europe, and our communication would often be delayed by a day at least.
