Who we are

We don’t translate language.We translate intent.

Day Translations was founded in 2007 by Sean Patrick Hopwood — a polyglot translator with the founder’s conviction that language services in the United States were systematically underserving Fortune 500 corporations, federal agencies, hospitals, and law firms with template content, freelance pools, and generic neutral output.

Two decades later, Day Translations operates the only end-to-end language operation in North America that combines: ISO 17100 process certification, HIPAA-compliant healthcare workflows, GSA Schedule federal procurement qualification, SOC-2 trust-services-aligned security, and ATA corporate membership — with a roster of native linguists assigned by target country, not by language.

We work in 500+ languages and regional variants, across every major industry — healthcare, legal, financial, government, media, automotive, technology, pharmaceutical. Every project runs the same ISO 17100 workflow. No template output. No machine output without review. No language paired with the wrong market.

What we stand for

Four operating principles. Non-negotiable on every project.

Accuracy by design

Every project runs the ISO 17100 workflow — translation, edit, proofread by a separate native linguist. Not optional. Not skipped under deadline.

Speed without shortcuts

Quote in 10 minutes. Certified translations turned in 24–48 hours. Rush same-day available for asylum and removal proceedings.

Native to the market

We assign by target country and register, not by language. Castilian and Mexican Spanish, Hanoi and Saigon Vietnamese, Bangladeshi and Indian Bengali — never blended.

Lifetime accuracy guarantee

If a USCIS-accepted, court-certified, or ISO 17100 deliverable is ever rejected for a linguistic error, we re-translate at no cost. For the life of the document.
