GENERAL PARTNER/managing director
Pauline Yoon
Ms. Pauline Yoon, an accomplished business leader and language expert helped found and cultivate NEXTranslation to become the industry leader that it is today. As a youth, she envisioned herself as a rugged historian, a la Indiana Jones, but as she travelled the globe and gained and understanding and appreciation of the worldly cultures, she soon found herself transitioning to a career in the language services industry, one in which she has become entirely entrenched. Spending significant portions of her young adult life in France, Mexico, South America & South Korea, Ms. Yoon would begin to understand the value of a centralized service provider for any-and-all language-based needs. Her burgeoning passion and unyielding will led her to NEXTranslation, where she would quickly rise up the ranks from Project Manager to GP/Managing Director within 5 years. Technologically-driven and a forward-thinker, Ms. Yoon is always looking for the next big industry-driver to take NEXTranslation to even further heights than from which the great foundation has been laid.

About Us
Our History
NEXTranslation opened its doors in 2003. At the time of its formation, the company was solely focused on specializing in Korean <> English translations of intellectual property patent documents. 5+ years later, while a student at NYU, Pauline Yoon conceptualized the idea that became the current iteration of NEXTranslation through her many travels and globally-fostered relationships. Understanding the business opportunity of a centralized language-service provider and armed with a strong network of international partners and friends, Ms. Yoon helped Language Hub transition from its budding state to become the foremost language-service provider in the greater tri-state area and further abroad.
Since then, the company has facilitated high-profile law firms across the country with various services, provided district, county & state courts with quality interpreters, and partook in countless annual, on-site audits for well-known pharmaceutical companies. In addition to providing interpreters for prominent technological conferences and UN delegations for North Korea/US relations, Language Hub has since become the most reliable patent document translation specialist in the country. And now, project after project, we aim to maintain consistent excellence and expand further each-and-every day.
Today. we have broadened our scope of service to include nearly all East-Asian languages from Vietnamese, Burmese, Japanese, Chinese, Mandarin, Cantonese and Arabic as well; and, in recent years, we have bolstered our team of interpreters and translators to include specialists in cloud computing, data science, medical investigations, pharmaceutical audits and more.
