WORLD TO THE WISE

Welcome to World to the Wise Translation Services. We offer the highest quality translations; a good number of our translators are writers and poets in their own right. We are available to create faithful translations of documents, manuals and literary works — even songs — from or into Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian — and soon the addition of Mandarin Chinese, Arabic and Japanese.

Here’s what people are saying about our song translations, for example:

“David Durham brings together a very rare blend of skills — linguistics, songwriting, musicality, multi-cultural understanding, and project management of a select translation team to create translations of our songs that will be well received by the widest possible audience.  We love the balanced system he has created, and he is just great to work with.” – Casey McGinty, Sr. V.P., EMI CMG Publishing

“I have had the opportunity to observe David Durham use his gifts with languages around the world.  I can think of no one better suited for the task of keeping the true message of a song and knowing when the flow is right.  His knowledge of languages and sensitivity to cultures are sure to be a blessing to many.” — Karen Lafferty, recording artist and mentor in music and missions; Director, YWAM Santa Fe

“Today the entire world is a source of worship songs. It is important for Spanish-speaking churches to be able to count on quality translations of songs that are impacting the church in other countries. What we need is an intentional and efficient effort in this area; otherwise, the work of song translation will go on, but in a haphazard and unorganized manner. Many of those translations won’t capture the essence and musicality of the original versions, and the church will consequently suffer the lack of a quality repertoire.” — Francis Castañeda, Worship & Arts Pastor, Iglesia Alianza Cristiana de Miraflores; Founder & Director, Instituto Allegro, Lima, Peru
