And you may need these specialist business and corporate translation services

These are the projects requiring some form of special expertise, either:
- translators with specific technical or sector knowledge,
- know-how around processes and methodologies, or
- niche skills and experience.

1. Technical translations – these require translators with expertise in the field or domain of the text (because if you don't fully understand a text, you can't translate it correctly). Projects also often involve typesetting the translated texts into graphic design artwork.
2. Legal translations – a legal background is needed to fully understand legal texts, translate concepts correctly and write in suitable legal style.
3. Patent translations – translators must be trained in the special requirements of patent translations, and texts can deal with highly technical matters requiring translators with specialist technical expertise.
4. Brochure translations – these often combine technical, legal and marketing text. So the challenge is translating well across those different styles - different translators may be needed. There are also often space restraints - the translation can only be so long. Most projects will also require a typesetting/dtp component.
5. Audio and video translations – there are a number of challenges with translating recorded speech, and we use different methodologies depending on how the translation is to be used and the degree of accuracy needed.
6. Insurance translations – we have processes to hone in on the essential information and disregard the nonessential for certain types of insurance translation. It saves our clients money.
7. Website translation services – the challenge of identifying content that isn't needed or wouldn't have the desired impact in the target cultures, and so should be adapted. Plus meeting webmasters' technical requirements.
8. Multilingual typesetting – a specialised niche where you need to understand font usage, layout conventions and design aesthetics for each language you're dealing with, plus have the software and know-how to produce professional quality artwork in those languages.

See our separate pages for more information on each of these specialist corporate translation services.

Your choice of two quality levels for your business and commercial translations – so you get exactly what you need

Quality Assured Translations

• initial translation by an experienced, tertiary-qualified professional translator or sector expert
• full second-translator review
• final wording agreed between translator and reviewer
• Project Manager safety check

This process is best practice, complies with international translation Standards, and provides the highest level of translation quality.

The key feature is the second translator review. This is designed to pick up any error by the initial translator that might have slipped through, and identify and refine the wording if needed.

Our recommendation:
Use this option for your business and commercial translations whenever 100% accuracy and high quality of expression is needed. That means all your client-facing materials, and any time a slip up could damage your business or reputation.

Budget Professional Translations

• initial translation by an experienced, tertiary-qualified professional translator or sector expert
• final Project Manager safety check

Budget professional translations don’t include a second translator review. Which means they carry a small risk of human error - after all, translators are human and mistakes can happen.

That said, our translators are experienced, qualified professionals with a proven track record of quality work for us. They consistently produce translations of high professional standard, so the risk of error is low.

Our recommendation:
Choose our budget professional business translation service if the small risk of a minor inaccuracy or slight inelegance of wording is acceptable.

Note: Our quotes include pricing for both quality options.
