One of New York City’s many nicknames is the city that never sleeps.  There are so many residents and visitors that it is always alive. That tagline may become the new tagline for translations services in NYC since the diversity of its people brings a sea of languages that requires non stop attention. With more than 800 Languages spoken in the area, it’s hard to imagine a more linguistically-diverse location. It is easy to sense the sea of languages while you are taking a stroll around the city. With all those NYC residents, the need for legal document translation in NYC is astounding for business and individuals.

From an immigration point of view the need for certified translations is growing, add to that the foreign students that come to study in New York City’s renowned institutions and hospitals. For example, on the commercial side, just buying and selling real estate requires contracts and inheritance translation for the multilingual population;, translation of birth certificates and divorce decrees alone are monumental. Simply working in Spanish translation in New York City keeps many services running at full capacity. And those are only the personal needs for translation.

Think about the commercial needs.

In 2016 alone, NYC recorded 12 million international tourists which represented an enormous economic impact! These visitors to “The City” and surrounding boroughs account for approximately half of the “hotel and tourist spending”. British visitors were at the top, followed by Chinese, Canadian and Brazilian visitors.

With such an influx of visitors and consumers, local businesses in all industries see the value of working with a trusted translation agency in NYC. Signs, menus, static and digital displays of all kinds function to communicate with international travelers in their own language and make buying easier.

New York City is not a new International destination but now more than ever museums, hotels and attractions understand the importance of catering to this population that brings their wallet to the city.

For the international tourist, there seems to be an endless fascination with New York. And while their comments are strictly personal, the overall answer seems to be “There’s an ‘energy’ in NYC that’s simply unique” as unique as the mix of languages and cultures that add to the city Magic.  New York Translation Services helps all of its visitors enjoy that uniqueness and all that the City has to offer.
