		<description><![CDATA[We have been pretty busy lately, which is something that I certainly can&#8217;t complain about. Our clients are doing great things for their constituents worldwide and, as a result, they need an increasing amount of translation to make their good deeds go further. A few times in the past weeks, I&#8217;ve found myself with all of our usual linguists booked up and have had to look elsewhere for translators. (Sometimes it happens. We&#8217;ll be doing some heavy recruiting at the 52nd Annual American Translators Association Annual Conference in Boston at the end of October. If you&#8217;re a translator, please come &#8230;<span class="readMore"><a href="http://alboum.com/2011/09/we-dont-charge-minimums-to-nonprofits-end-of-story/">read more</a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s just say that if Wally were a translator, he&#8217;d never be working for Alboum &#38; Associates.  What&#8217;s the point of a deadline if you can&#8217;t make it? We charge no rush fees.  We charge no minimums.  And we don&#8217;t take jobs we can&#8217;t deliver on time.  (When&#8217;s the last time you heard a translation vendor tell you that?) It&#8217;s so simple &#8230; you have to wonder why no other agency can make the same claim.]]></description>

The problem is that the pounds wait for no one.  I&#8217;ve spent way too much time at my desk, munching on &#8230;<span class="readMore"><a href="http://alboum.com/2011/06/working-on-the-world-while-im-working-on-myself/">read more</a></span>]]></description>

But it&#8217;s not. It rightfully belongs to the Global Health Council, the world&#8217;s largest membership alliance dedicated to saving lives by improving health throughout the world. Today we&#8217;re proud to announce we&#8217;re official members of that alliance. Since our founding in 2004, Alboum &#38; Associates has translated over four million words that fought for better tobacco control, helped combat infectious diseases, and improved health conditions across the globe. &#8230;<span class="readMore"><a href="http://alboum.com/2011/03/the-voice-for-global-health/">read more</a></span>]]></description>
