In the global world we live today, embracing our diversity is more important than ever.
Art One Translations is a global company empowering businesses to grow internationally. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are at the core of everything we do as the translators bridge the gap between cultures.
With our multicultural team living and working in over 75 countries, we convey the messages of our clients not only in the languages of their global audiences but making sure these messages resonate with those audiences on a deeper cultural level and ensuring the usability of the products regardless of their end user's language, culture, or background.
An important segment of our business offering is working with non-for-profit organizations serving different marginalized communities in Canada.
Through this work, we collaborate with Mothers Matter Centre, the BC Council for Families, UBC’s Department of Medicine, the Vancouver General Hospital, Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work, among others.
The causes we contribute to include: equipping low-income and socially isolated parents of various cultural background to help their children succeed in school and live brighter lives, providing educational materials aimed at helping new Canadians and refugees better assimilate into the Canadian society and better prepare for a balanced life with a focus on family well-being and optimal child development, to equip cultural minorities with health guidebooks and other informative materials in their languages.
Art One Translations sponsored “Mothers as a Catalyst of Change: Inspiration from Around the World”, a conference hosted by HIPPY Canada and the BC Association of Family Resource Programs. We are honored to have been part of the initiative focusing on women’s equality and family well-being and the role of mothers in helping to change the world for the better.
Collaborating with Youth the Future and the Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work allowed us to contribute to supporting Canadian youth with disability and mental health issues throughout their journey of achieving and retaining employment.
Providing English subtitles for the documentary "Dora" by Natalya Bernadskaya, the film telling a deeply moving story of a Holocaust survivor from Ukraine, Art One has contributed to the mission of making this story heard by wider audiences in the English-speaking world.
Art One Translations is committed to further contribute to the DEI and bringing cultures closer together.
