Nicole Michel-Deshagette, Translingua | Enabling understanding in an increasingly globalized world

Nicole Michel-Deshagette, CEO of Translingua, is passionate about doing great translation work. She knows the challenges of immigrating to a new place and learning to listen and be understood. 

The COVID19 crisis has upped the ante for the importance of clear communication across cultural and linguistic boundaries. Governments were caught off-guard by the pandemic, and they struggle to translate safety instructions for non-English speaking communities. These instructions can be the difference between life and death. Thankfully, Translingua is on the case. 

We rarely appreciate the monetary and human costs of being misunderstood. Nicole and Translingua are passionate about translation not just as a business; they are passionate about translation as a way to bring people together.

“We help people communicate not just in another language but in an entirely different cultural context.”
