Language service providers (LSPs) adapt products and services for consumption in multilingual markets. LSPs provide expertise on the language, culture, customs, and other characteristics of the target locale(s) and include both translation and interpreting companies. Translation companies focus primarily on delivering written text, such as product labels, websites, documentation, and marketing communications. Interpreting companies transmit spoken information for meetings and conferences, telephone conversations, medical and legal situations, and more. Service providers are often classified by the number of languages they handle. Multi-language vendors (MLV) work with many languages and markets; Single-language vendors (SLV) primarily deliver language services in a single language pair; Regional-language vendors cover regional areas of languages and markets, for example Eastern Europe or the Middle East.
