Some Clients’ testimonials about Diane’s services…

Not only have I found Diane to be completely fluent in French (both with regard to translating documents and also speaking to various French witnesses), but I hasten to emphasize that I have also found her to be most responsible, intelligent and hard working…during various depositions, Diane has been the individual who has often helped the French nationals and the certified interpreters better express themselves in either English or French.

We had the opportunity to work with Diane Goullard Parlante, an experienced French translator, in Scottsdale Arizona this year. Diane worked directly with us on the worldwide launch of the Lamborghini Superleggera for 100 media and 200 dealer personnel. Diane’s task was simultaneous translation for the French audience group over a period of 5 days. Lamborghini found Diane to be highly professional, accurate and able to work at speed. We would have no hesitation in recommending her for French translation services.

[…] For three days, practically non-stop, Diane Goullard performed her task with ease, professionalism, a sense of humor when needed and a willingness to provide the very best of services. After the second day of interviews, one of the French officers took me aside and commented how impressed he was with the work provided by Mrs. Goullard. After the third day, the interviews were ended and Mrs. Goullard’s services were no longer needed. Judge Z. congratulated Mrs. Goullard on her excellent work and expressed his gratitude for her having facilitated an already difficult task of melding two very different judicial procedures, i.e., French and American. I believe Mrs. Goullard made an outstanding contribution to this difficult investigation and it is my recommendation that she be considered on future occasions when translation or simultaneous translations are needed.

I just received word about the commendation you received from our client. This is my largest client, billing over a million dollars a year. It is professionals like you that keep our clients…coming and staying with Language Line. I want to express my appreciation and gratitude for the excellent job you do on a day to day basis. Thank you.

I enjoyed the experience of working with you, I trust your style, you follow my instructions, you demonstrate patience, courtesy and promptness. I and others were satisfied by your service. I would use your services again and will refer you if the occasion arises.

Dear ‘Dee-Ann’: You have been a blessing in a very difficult, most complicated and confidential situation. You are the epitome of an interpreter as opposed to a translator. You express feeling, understanding and diplomacy–rather than just words. You have been a part of an extremely vital set of episodes in several of our lives and our business. I thank you very much.

Diane is an extremely personable woman. She is very warm, has a great sense of humor and can at the same time command respect from her students. I have met few teachers who exude such a sense of enthusiasm for their subject and for life in general. Her students have learned excellent oral skills from her teaching and both took the fourth-year French Language Advanced Placement Examination. She also tutored other students from this private school who were having academic problems. Both the students and the parents have been very complimentary about her work as a tutor.

Thank you so much for being kind and understanding. Your presence certainly helped Charles cope with a terrible situation. He is now back in his family, trying to forget a painful episode.

While she attended St. Mary’s College to become a Paralegal, Diane lived with my wife and me in our home in Orinda, CA. It became readily apparent to us that Diane was bilingual in French and English. Her English grammar and pronunciation were excellent. I might add that Diane has an ideal personality to be an interpreter. She is naturally interested in people. She would be completely at home conversing in French or English in almost any field I can think of.

I enjoyed the experience of working with you on an English to French-Canadian translation and voiceover project. I get value for my money. I trust your style, your work, you follow my instructions. You demonstrate patience and courtesy. I would use your services again.

Thank you for your assistance in recommending Diane Goullard Parlante, a French interpreter, for our Federal Bankruptcy Court trial. We were impressed with her professionalism, and she was an asset to both parties and the Court. She did an excellent job during the course of our two-day trial, and if the need arises, we will be sure to ask for her assistance again.

Satisfactory rating by native speaker of the target language. It was for Micki’s work assignment in school. The teacher loved it. I told her I went to you for Micki when tutorial services at the school flared out. Satisfactory responsiveness to client. Satisfactory knowledge and excellent courtesy. This was a strange assignment for you, I know, but you did well with it, and we both learned something about cultural concepts – knights on horses.

I enjoyed the experience of working with you; I and others were satisfied by your services; I get value for the money and/or your prices are within my budget; I trust your style, your work, you follow my instructions; you demonstrate patience and courtesy. I would use your services again. You can use my name as a referral.
