Virtual Words, my translation company, has two offices: one in Denver, run by Valerie Steinier (http://biznik.com/members/valerie-steinier), and one in Europe (Brussels).

My biggest challenge in my business is to explain that a good translation is an asset, not a liability. You don't buy it? Hmm - Let's oversimplify for a second: Would you like to reach 27,000,000 new customers nationwide? ... Well, that's about the amount of Spanish-speaking people living in the US. See? Now you want your online store in Spanish too (-: Let's connect! You will also find me on LinkedIn, Xing and Viadeo. [less]
