Alboum Translation Agency works with mission-driven organizations rather than general commercial clients, serving public and independent schools, public health organizations, and private reproductive health care providers alongside local government agencies, international NGOs, and small nonprofits. Based in Bethesda, MD, the agency is certified as a woman-owned and operated small business, a distinction that shapes the client base it has built around public-sector and nonprofit work.
Services center on written translation in any language, length, or format, paired with virtual interpretation offered in both simultaneous and consecutive modes. Beyond core translation and interpretation, the agency handles transcription, subtitling, voiceover, layout, and content management, drawing on full-human and AI-supported methods depending on the project. Pricing structure reflects the nonprofit focus directly: there are no rush fees and no project management fees, removing two cost categories that often add up for organizations working within grant budgets or fixed program funding.
Clients reach the agency through separate channels depending on need: a general office line, a dedicated Interpretation Help Desk number for live language support, and an email address for broader inquiries. That separation points to a practice built around responsiveness for time-sensitive interpretation requests, distinct from longer-turnaround written translation work. The client roster spanning school systems, public health providers, and international NGOs suggests a practice comfortable moving between sectors with different compliance and confidentiality expectations, from education records to reproductive health care documentation, while keeping the same no-added-fee terms across engagements of varying size and government or nonprofit accountability requirements.
