BRUSSELS and PORTLAND, Oregon, May 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the first translation and localization companies to earn certification two years ago through Europe's only translation services standard, EN 15038, Jonckers Translation & Engineering has earned renewal of its certification.

After a comprehensive audit, AS+Certification, a subsidiary of the Austrian Standards Institute, provided independent validation of Jonckers' worldwide ability to deliver quality service and results to its Global 1000 client base. In 2008, Jonckers was the first translation and localization company with a global infrastructure and core strength in IT to earn the certification, and now is in the first wave of providers to earn renewal.

Clients also validate Jonckers' track record for quality. "One of the reasons we chose Jonckers was because it is internationally known for having met the rigorous quality standards of one of the world's most successful high tech companies, Microsoft, and they've maintained that relationship over many years," said Geert Coppens, CEO of Instruxion. "Jonckers' approach to our large, complex project met our quality expectations, and those of our end clients."

EN 15038 defines rigorous and detailed standards of excellence for translation services, including management of each project's process, quality, human resources and client relationships.

"Our original aim in pursuing this certification was to help elevate the industry's quality and reputation worldwide by inspiring other localization companies to follow our lead," said Jonckers founder and CEO, Marc Jonckers. "Two years later, as other localization service providers continue to follow suit, and the quality bar continues to rise, we remain committed to setting the example."
