Apex Translations heartily welcomes 2016 and bids a fond farewell to 2015, a year of breaking news of a world in tumult. The brand new year is yet but a babe, taking poised, sensored steps like the driverless car, representative of an unstoppable techno- future, while 2015 has already taken a seat in the past.

It's true; we are on the eve of a most romantic day for lovers everywhere, a long-heralded day of St. Valentine. School children exchange valentines both playful and delightful. Adults plan getaways at romantic destinations complete with special suites in glamorous hotels with copious amounts of wine or champaign served in candlelight; while cuisine favorites feature chocolate in any variety followed by luxurious dining in four to six courses at a table for two. However, in the time of Shakespeare, if you were the beloved of the playwright/actor/author, you might receive a sonnet, painstakingly written in language you may not be able to readily decipher. If you were a Londoner in Elizabethan England for instance, you may [...]

We all know them, and every language has them - proverbs, axioms, words to live by, and the scholarly "aphorisms." However, from Grade Two to freshmen in college, we are persuaded and finally convinced these maxims do not enhance our composition and writing efforts, but they make our essays trite and stale, except for one blaring fact: Most of these expressions are universally true! So the meaning of this aforementioned title is one which Apex Translation Services espouses in its day-to-day translator assignments. When a request comes to Apex asking for an English-to-French translation, we look to our many qualified and approved translators who will conscientiously deliver an accurate translation to our client.
