ABOUT INTRADES DIRECT

InTradES stands for Intérpretes y Traductores de Español (Spanish Interpreters and Translators), the name of our new searchable electronic directory. Only US-based professionals are admitted to this directory, in an effort to assure direct communication and greater cohesiveness in our understanding of terminology and cultural issues.

The InTradES directory gives users of Spanish<>English translation and interpretation services a US-focused directory organized by subject matter. The main benefit for users of our services is having direct access to these professionals, thus eliminating higher costs and communication problems.
