Do you want to set up your company abroad? Internationalise your offer? Create partnerships with international contacts? Communicate with multicultural teams? Whatever your objective, commercial translation is a key step in making your multilingual exchanges more fluid and securing your expansion on international markets.
Commercial translation: what are the specific features?
Commercial translation has a number of specific features. Indeed, if you want to translate any commercial documents (brochures, invitations to tender, business plans, etc.) you firstly need to have an understanding of the message and culture of the company concerned. Secondly, you need to adapt the text to the cultural norms of the target country. For example, a commercial contract will not be written in the same way in New York, Hong Kong, or Buenos Aires.
These idiosyncrasies of commercial translation mean that the translator must have a knowledge of the business world and the organisational functioning of a company. It is also imperative that they can master the corporate vocabulary and business standards.
It should also be remembered that commercial translation is aimed at very specific parties such as investors, prospects, major accounts, shareholders, etc.
In addition, translated business content must be accurate to keep the company's brand image and reputation intact.
