WELCOME TO WHITTLESTICKS

We are a language and culture facilitator helping our clients leverage language for overall top line growth. Our range of localisation and globalisation services across industry verticals and the speed and quality of our delivery makes us trusted.

That said, we are also realistic. Our core competency is about language, and language is about communication and that in turn is about people. At Whittlesticks we simplfy business communication and processes through a host of services both at individual and corporate levels. People work with us because we are direct, insightful and uncompromising about our quality.

Whittlesticks is staffed by a team of experienced people with a background in linguistics, education, technology, marketing and process support. We combine our skills to ensure that your requirements are met with an eye towards the overall success of the project.

THE LANGUAGE LEVERAGE

Even as recent as a decade ago, the only role of language support entities in business was that of localisation support or perhaps translation during rare site visits. Emergent markets have changed all this. Over the last ten years, language support has become an integral unit in the processes employed by global businesses.

Our own services aren't as cut and dry either. Where we were once considered an outsourced service or a vendor, we are today considered an essential part of the client's business team from the very start of a project. Our roles have changed too. From passive linguistic processes we have shifted to co-creating process documentation alongside the other internal teams at project sites.

GLOBALISED LOCALISATION: TRANSLATE THAT!

Language cuts right down to the very root of modern industry. The individual. It is immediate and visceral, a part of our thinking feeling lives. This distinction is important because businesses are about individuals. Business decisions are made as much on egos and perceptions as much as on research and strategy. The mispronounced, accidental slip could be a tremendous indicator to the business on the other side of the table. A single dropped syntax could indicate non-compliance in a project worth millions.

We understand the relevance of this insight. Our localisation services are not passive linguistic variants. Our understanding in communications design, information architecture and technology ensures that your project is localised culturally, legally, and technically with the right linguistics and with business relevance and intent intact.

WELCOME AGAIN, THEN.
