Each specialised term must be translated with the corresponding term in the target language.<\/p>\n<h2>Who does specialised translations?<\/h2>\n<p>Considering the above, we wouldn&#8217;t blame you for thinking that <strong>machine translation<\/strong> and a good <strong>glossary<\/strong> would be able to create a fairly decent specialised translation, but this is not the case at all.<\/p>\n<p>Since specialised texts also occasionally contain <strong>slang expressions<\/strong> that are only known and understood by a narrow subset of people, you may also require a <strong>transcreation<\/strong> service, i.e., the creative translation of an expression that does not exist in the target language or is replaced by a completely different expression.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, a top-class <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotrad.com\/en\/industries\/\">specialised translation service<\/a> such as the one provided by <strong>EuroTrad<\/strong> can only be performed by <strong>translators who are experts in their field<\/strong>, i.e., who have <strong>specialised academic expertise<\/strong>, as well as the required language skills. These skills put them in the best possible position to produce <strong>translations that are free from conceptual errors<\/strong> caused by a lack of understanding of the subject area.<\/p>\n<h2>Which fields require specialised translations?<\/h2>\n<p>EuroTrad offers a specialised translation service for <strong>companies and professionals<\/strong> working in specialised sectors, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the <strong>pharmaceutical sector<\/strong>: just think of pharmaceutical companies that need to translate packaging insert into a number of different languages for new drugs they are bringing to market.<\/li>\n<li>the <strong>scientific sector<\/strong>: think of a physics professor who needs to distribute copies of his or her quantum physics paper to a foreign audience;<\/li>\n<li>or other sectors such as <strong>websites<\/strong>, <strong>advertising<\/strong>, <strong>finance<\/strong>, and the <strong>arts<\/strong>, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In all of these extremely different cases, <strong>specialised translation services<\/strong> are often required.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it is important to be aware that the <strong>cost of specialised translations<\/strong> varies depending on numerous factors, including the specialist field, the scope of the translation project, and the turnaround time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to specialised (or specialist) translation, it\u2019s all about precision and the accuracy of terminology.
