+ Why the name "Shark Translations"?

Sharks are the guardians of the ocean and master navigators that are agile, always adapting, and never stop moving.

Like a shark navigating the ocean, Shark Translations guides people through language barriers by conveying ideas and messages clearly, flawlessly, and to the point.
