S & J Translations is not a typical translation agency or company, but a network of freelance translators distributed around the world, who are used to working individually and in teams.

Our commitment to our clients is to provide affordable and quality translations.

Our translators are carefully selected and are all target language native speakers. Many are bilingual and bicultural.

These factors offer an advantage as many clients expect documents to be translated as if they had been written originally in the target language.

A project manager is assigned to large projects, who coordinates a team of translators and an editor to ensure accuracy, stylistic consistency and fluidness.

S & J Translations was founded in 1997 by Jose A. Breuer and Silvia Izaguirre. The company is based in Asunción - Paraguay and has gained a solid reputation over the years and has grown with many satisfied local and international customers.

He is also an experienced interpreter (over 2200 hours).

Silvia Izaguirre is the General Manager of S & J Translations. Among other tasks, she manages human resources and public relations with our clients.
