After CB Multilingual welcomed its first intern in July 2021, we are pleased to welcome as of September 2021 our new intern, Linda Tozzo. Linda studies in the Applied Languages programme at the University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) in Winterthur. She will support us in all business activities until February 2022.

As a native German speaker, her command of English and Italian as well as her knowledge of French will be very useful for our business activities. In addition to her language skills, Linda will support us with her knowledge of social media and translation experience, as linguistic tasks such as proofreading, translation and publishing work for our external communication will be on her everyday activity list. Her work experience in sales and administration will also be beneficial for a proactive, personal, and precise support of project coordination, digitalisation of business processes and various administrative tasks.

Linda describes herself as a team player, communicative, solution- and customer-oriented and efficient. She will be a real enrichment for our team.

We look forward to the coming six months together and being able to share our expertise with the next generation.

Since 5 August 2021, art enthusiasts have had the opportunity to visit and admire an art exhibition featuring works of concrete art from the private collection of the book author and art collector Sybil Albers, at the Mark Müller Art Gallery in Zurich.

The book “Die Sammlerin Sybil Albers” [“The Collector Sybil Albers”] was published to coincide with the opening of the exhibition.

This portrait of Sybil Albers (1935-2019) reminds us of the collector as a culturally active, energetic and enthusiastic woman. For over thirty years, from 1977 to 2008, she dedicated her time to collecting constructive, concrete, conceptual and minimalist art, and to publishing bibliophile books in ‘Verlag 3’. Her collections were on display from 1990 to 2000 at the Espace de l’Art Concret in Mouans-Sartoux, France. This publication combines interviews with long-time employees of the Espace de l’Art Concret, as well as contributions by art scholars and artists from their circle of friends and acquaintances.

CB Multilingual (CBM) was able to make an important contribution to the successful publication of the book, which was published as a tribute to the collector and the Espace de l’Art Concret on its thirtieth anniversary. The publisher and daughter of the art collector Ines Bauer entrusted CBM with the proofreading of the entire book. Proofreading the almost 400 pages in French and German took several months and brought us at CBM closer to concrete art and its many facets.

After completing this exciting project, CBM also attended the vernissage on 5 August 2021.

The next generation is waiting in the wings.

Promoting new talent is important to CB Multilingual (CBM). For this reason, we welcome Charlotte Van de Velde to the team for a one-month period during the summer of 2021. During her time here, Charlotte will support us in the update of process documentation (including the management of translations using CAT tools), and with administrative tasks and order coordination.

This internship has arisen through the longstanding partnership between CBM and the “European Masters in Technology for Translation and Interpreting” program at the University of Wolverhampton (UK). As an Associated Partner, we offer students of this master’s program the opportunity to gain relevant practical experience through internships, and thus support their successful completion of the program.

After a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam, Charlotte is now close to finishing her second academic degree. She is not only extremely linguistically gifted (she is fluent in English and Dutch, and has good command of German, Spanish and French), but also brings in-depth knowledge in the areas of programming (Python), marketing – implementation and concepts for social media campaigns and blog posts – as well as graphic design. All of this makes her the perfect support for the goals of CBM: to increase our digital presence and digitalise business processes in general, whilst serving our customers proactively, personally, and precisely as usual.

With her quick comprehension and communication skills, Charlotte will not only enrich the CBM team, but also serve our customers in our typical friendly, professional and fast manner.

We will soon be able to tell you more about our internships at CBM – stay tuned for our next news entry.

In the case of CB Multilingual LLC (CBM), this quote by the famous Greek philosopher Heraclite is only partially correct: while the premises may have changed, our service consistently remains at a high level. In the future, we will take care of your requests from the biggest building in Feldmeilen, by Lake Zurich.

We share this building with its main tenant, the company Hoval AG, as well as with small and medium-sized companies from various industries, and a printing company with whom we can collaborate for your printing needs. We look forward to an exciting and stimulating office community, where everyone benefits from each other’s skills.

With twice as much space as before, we offer our team a great workplace, and have enough space to ensure compliance with current health protocols. Team members can take a quick break or a light meal in the various rooms available, and from the garden behind the building, team members can enjoy the view of Lake Zurich.

This gem is by no means reserved just for CBM but also opens its doors to our customers. In various rentable meeting rooms equipped with the latest technology, we can discuss assignments and projects, let our creativity run free, or meet for a cosy aperitif to get to know each other. At a distance of about 600 meters from the Herrliberg-Feldmeilen train station, you need about 15 minutes to reach us by public transport from Zurich.
