It was an international drug dealing case, one that involved a lot of money and a lot of violence. Agents who had entered the organization had worn wires and collected evidence for years. A conviction depended on an accurate translation of their tape recordings. "Five languages were involved," says Liz Elting, 44, one of the owners of TransPerfect, the translation company chosen for the job. "The slightest mistake could mean the criminals would go free."  When Elting started her business 18 years ago with Phil Shawe, both were attending New York University's Stern School of Business. Neither realized just how many situations would require their services. TransPerfect's 4,000 linguists cover more than 100 languages.  Getting Ahead with Liz Elting  What inspired you to start TransPerfect?  When I was eight, my dad bought a KFC in Portugal. Unfortunately, the Portuguese didn't want anything American. They thought my dad was a CIA spy! That taught me how fast things can change. I've studied in Spain and worked in Venezuela. This business is the perfect combination of my love for languages, cultures and business.  Is the staff multilingual?  Many are. I speak French and Spanish. My partner, Phil, who is American, likes to say he speaks English on a good day.  What languages are requested most often?  Spanish and Japanese. Chinese, Middle Eastern, Indic (South Asia), and Eastern Europeans are on the rise.  How difficult is it to manage such a diverse workforce?  Our challenge is to be culturally appropriate in every country. When we hand our year-end bonuses in the US, for example, we have to remember that in India, bonuses are given in the fall. Any advice for someone starting a business?  Get started before you have kids. In the beginning, I didn't know how to do this business on the side. I wasn't married, didn't have kids, and wasn't concerned about balancing my work and personal life. Now, with strong managers in place, I can spend more time with my family (husband Michael Burlant and sons Zachary, nine and Jacob, seven), traveling and playing baseball.
