And why do translators specialise anyway? These are just words, aren\u2019t they? Well, not exactly. Financial and economic translations require a great degree of understanding. \u00a0Translators who understand the concepts will be able to translate much more accurately than those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
On the asset management side, if you are looking for accurate translations, then it is important to choose a translator who can deal effectively with the content. \u00a0Do they know the difference between cyclical and defensive stocks? Is the term \u201cbond proxy\u201d translated or is the English version used in other languages? When the translation team understands such concepts and can combine their financial knowledge with their linguistic expertise, then you are certain to have a great financial translation.<\/p>\n
Apart from the sound technical knowledge required in translating financial statements or portfolio analyses, the accuracy and attention to detail matter as well.\u00a0 This is not just about getting the language right, but about representing the numbers accurately as well. The translation may be perfect in terms of written fluency, but it will be no good to the client if they have not taken the required care to transcribe or transfer the numbers, symbols or abbreviations. What if assets of $1,000,000 become assets of $100,000 in the translated document? Correct localised conventions must be used, such as a digital point and comma. \u00a0A million (1,000,000) in the UK and US may in other countries look as follows: 1 000 000. \u00a0Simple details, obvious to many, but important to get them right.<\/p>\n
Using a competent translator will allow you to focus on your core business instead, on the activities that generate revenue for your company or organisation. You will avoid the gigantic headaches associated with the incorrect translation of documents and with re-working them so that they are acceptable.<\/p>\n
