PerMondo: an initiative based on collaboration and synergy

It has been five years since Mondo Agit began to collaborate with PerMondo on website localisation and translation of texts for not-for-profit organisations. Since then, we have supported associations from all over the world, such as Action Contre la Faim, SOS Children’s Villages, Bezev e.V., CEAR, Club of Rome, Cultural Planet, ELIANT, Fair, Fundación Manantial, Organic Vision, Shelterbox, Welthaus, WWF and many others.

The free translation initiative was launched in 2009 and, with Mondo Agit’s support, it has carried out some 200 free translation projects. In this way, huge numbers of web pages have been translated for a range of associations; as varied in their aims as their geographical location, making it possible for them to spread their message across the world.

European Commission to eliminate the Apostille

The Commission has proposed to scrap the bureaucratic stamps that are currently issued in order for documents to be recognised in other member states of the European Union. This would mean the end of the “Apostille”, a certificate used to authenticate public documents.

The measure would not affect the validity of the content or the motives of the documents themselves; it would simply be a case of getting rid of the tags attached to documents that prove their authenticity.  The aim of this would be to save in translation costs as well as to cut bureaucracy and processing times.

Twelve categories of public documents would be affected by the proposal, including those related to name, marriage or registered partnership, birth and adoption. Also proposed are optional, multilingual forms in all official EU languages.

Escort/Attendant Service for fairs, visits and congresses – “low cost” interpreting

The translation for those who don’t need a professional interpreter

Once again, with the aim of adapting ourselves to the continually changing circumstances of the market, Mondo Agit sets “low cost” prices for the escort or attendant service for fairs, visits and congresses.

Mondo Agit has decided to set this low cost tariff with the prospect of filling a niche in the market to which, until now, it had not devoted much attention. It is not only a case of satisfying the client’s needs that have not been met and taking advantage of a business opportunity, but also offering a good employment opportunity to innumerable young students in the last years of university study and those that have recently graduated, who find themselves facing difficulties entering the job market.Read more

An interview with StepOver

StepOver pad

Today we have invited one of our first ever customers to speak about our services as well as the current situation in their sector.

StepOver is the perfect example of a company that has grown, step by step, alongside ourselves, placing their trust in us time and time again.

The company, which sells products for electronic signatures, started life as a small, local company in Germany, run by three people and with a project selling to an insurer. However, it has always had that international, exporter mentality that characterises many German companies.

Today it has offices in Genoa, London, Madrid, Minsk and Stuttgart, and it sells its products all over the world.Read more

News about PerMondo

During the second quarter of 2012, the initiative sponsored by Mondo Agit changed its name to PerMondo; in other words, “for the world”. This is because it was confirmed that a translation agency named Mondolingua already existed in Austria.

Of course, it hasn’t been easy to drop the name we started with as it has formed part of the company’s actual initiative for so long.  However, we have decided to take advantage of the new impetus and change a few things.Read more

Data Protection at Mondo Agit

Given how important it is for many of our clients that their data and confidential information be used appropriately, Mondo Agit decided at the beginning of 2012 to entrust the control of its policy and application of data protection to an independent external company, the specialised consultant DGE Bruxelles.

In this way, after undergoing various procedures and tests, we are now in possession of the document issued by the independent consultant DGE Bruxelles which certifies that our agency adapts its processes to the current legislation in force in terms of data protection.
