Bio
Patti Surowiec
I worked with Robert and his company, True Language for several years. He led the team that helped our company localize training materials into several different languages and 26 international markets. This was an extremely successful initiative that originally started with 1 language (Spanish) and evolved into a much larger project that went on for many years due to its success. Robert, as well as his team members took the time to understand the business they were translating materials for and understand the business needs of our organization. We could not have accomplished what we did without their partnership, they weren’t just a vendor but more like an extension of our team. I would highly recommend Robert and True Language to handle any localization project for any business.

It has been great working with Robert as a project manager at TrueLanguage. He is always professional and shows a lot of poise in stressful situations. He is able to process and manage large amounts of information quickly and efficiently, and is a savant when it comes to Excel. I believe his ability to find new ways to add value to projects make him a valuable asset to any team or organization.
