English to Spanish Translation Services Agency Challenges

Language Translation AgencyEnglish and Spanish are among the most spoken languages in the world, and in total number of speakers they occupy the 2nd and 3rd place, respectively. Only Mandarin has more speakers than English and Spanish. In addition:

  • Spanish occupies the 2nd place in terms of native speakers, after Mandarin.
  • English occupies the 1st place in number of speakers for whom it is the second language.

Due to their sheer number of speakers, both English and Spanish are subject to considerable variation from country to country, or even within regions of the same country. Therefore, it is not possible to use a general procedure when translating from English to Spanish. Every single case requires special consideration depending on the source of the material being translated and the country where it will be used. For example, translating a document written in United States for an audience in Spain is very different from translating a British document for Mexican readers.

Thanks to international business, travel and communication, an English to Spanish professional translation agency has become a highly in demanded service. The international importance of these two languages cannot be overlooked. The Americas in particular are an excellent market for English to Spanish translation services:

  • The region includes the USA, where English is the official language; and Canada, where both English and French are official.
  • Latin America is located to the south, and Spanish is the native language of all major countries except for Brazil, where the official language is Portuguese. The vast majority of the smaller Latin American countries also speaks Spanish as a native language.

Translation by Native SpeakerCommunication and travel between Canada, the USA, and Latin America are commonplace, and the reasons to do so include business, education, medical assistance or even migration. Therefore, English to Spanish translation services are required on a daily basis and in a wide variety of fields.

Guidelines for English to Spanish Translation

Whenever a translation is to be carried out, the best results can be obtained by involving two translators who have the following characteristics:

  • The translation itself can be carried out with ease by a native speaker of the source language, from the same country where the document was produced, but who is also fluent in the target language.
  • For proofreading, the best recommendation is to hire the services of a native speaker of the target language, from the same country where the translated document will be used, but who is also fluent in the source language.

This two-step approach guarantees that any regional or cultural issues will be accounted for, in both the source language and the target language. Of course, if the document being translated refers to a highly specialized field such as electrical engineering or medical science, the translators should also be professionals of the respective field. In some cases, it might also be necessary for the translation to be notarized or carried out by a translator who is certified by a regional or national governing body.

Although there is software which is capable of English to Spanish translation, it is incapable of matching a human translator when it comes to context, grammar, and regional differences. Software is useful for translating single words, but when translating a formal document the results will not be satisfactory. In order to achieve the best possible final result, hiring professional translation services is recommended.

Translation Services in a Global Economy

Business and Financial Translation ServicesIn the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis and the global recession that followed it, it is such a rare thing to be able to say that any industry is a growing one, let alone a fast growing one. However, that is precisely the case with the translation industry. Over the last dozen or so years, the globalization of economy and business, rapid advancements in technology and the rise of the Internet have all led up to the booming demand for translation services worldwide. Apart from the fact that this provides a great opportunity for translators to increase their workload and enrich their knowledge of the foreign language, it also means that there are now more various and perhaps more challenging translation services needed.

Business-Translation-ServicesWhether you work as a freelancer or for a professional translation agency, sooner or later you will be presented with a technical document that needs to be translated. Nowadays, the majority of documents that are being professionally translated are technical ones. So, what exactly constitutes technical translation? If for the most part the document which is being translated consists of specialized vocabulary that cannot be easily understood and often requires definitions and explanations, then the translation is probably technical. However, specialized vocabulary is just one of the criteria for labeling translation technical. More importantly, it is the subject matter that counts. Technical documents deal with technical subject matters, are written by technical writers and have the purpose to explain the practical use of scientific and technological knowledge. Usually, these are operating and safety manuals, instructions for use, patent documents, engineering specifications, medical and pharmaceutical documents, etc.

professional-translation-servicesOne of the most challenging tasks for a translator is to stay faithful to the original. This is especially difficult when it comes to technical translation. First of all, you must be able to fully understand all the technical terms that are used in the original document, or the technical jargon. In order to do that, you should have specialist knowledge of the subject matter in both your native and the target language. General knowledge here simply is not going to be enough. Sure, a translator’s job today is much easier than it used to be. You can always turn to the all – knowing Internet for help, or use computer software for assistance. There is a wide selection of tools at your disposal. However, translation is based on context, and no computer can help you interpret the underlying meaning of a piece of writing. Also, not all texts are written in a clear and concise manner. Sometimes, technical descriptions and manuals tend to use long sentences with connecting clauses which can easily be lost in translation. This is where a technical translator often takes up the role of a technical writer or editor. After all, one of the most important tasks of a technical translator is to make the document comprehensible to a wide range of readers. Finally, there is the “technical” part of technical translation. It goes without saying that a translator nowadays must be computer literate and use all kinds of software and tools in his / her work. But, once in a while a document for translation will come along which will have either complicated formatting or embedded images that cannot be displayed properly. Not to mention the graphics with which the translation must fit. This can be quite challenging at times, especially if there is a short deadline to be met.

However, none of the above-mentioned presents such a challenge as the need for accuracy. In the case of technical translation, one mistake could spell disaster. Just think about medical documents, safety and operating manuals, instructions for use or engineering specifications. Even the tiniest mistake in the translation could lead to system failures, equipment breakdowns or, in the worst case, putting people’s health and lives at risk. It cannot be stressed enough just how important it is that technical translation is done by a professional translator who has an in – depth knowledge of the subject matter and who is more than familiar with the specialized terminology and conventions for writing technical documents.

For the above mentioned reasons, Language Translation Tech uses highly educated, native speaking, professional translators. 100% human translation.

Finding The Right Professional Translation Agency

It takes time…

Business Translation ServicesYour information is valuable, you have invested a considerable amount of time and resources to created something unique that will help your business thrive. The next step, and it is quite obvious, is to reach for new markets… and yes, other languages and cultures. It takes time to find the right professional translation agency for you, but once you find it, that new relationship needs to evolve into a strategic partnership… for the long run.

That being said, here are a few points to consider:

1) Professional Translation Services and Translators (the real ones) do not use Google Translate. Yes, there are some folks out there who believe that translators and interpreters own
“certain machines” that allow them to do the job. It is true that there are certain devices and software available, but these tools merely allow the translator to make the job a bit easier, it is totally up to the translator to define the quality of the document. For interpreters… well, it is live… so… pure skills, paper and pen… and Wi-Fi connection for the dictionaries.

Translation Services2) The translator is your business partner… not your enemy. When you decide which document will be translated, try to send it as simple as possible. Plain text, no margins, no photos, no JPEGS on the back pretending to be a watermark, etc. Think of it as a fancy banquet, the table is served with delicious food and the array is just magnificent; then you remember that you must remodel, paint and clean the hall because the cream of the crop is coming home for dinner… well, that is exactly what happens when those embellished documents are sent to a translator, something will always go wrong… and the experience will turn into a nightmare.

3) You are not buying a pizza and most certainly, you are not buying something cheap… whoever says translations are easy, fast and cheap; is a liar. There is a rule in business: Time, Cost or Quality… you pick two, the translation agency picks the one left.

  • Time + Cost= a project done quickly and cheaply, but the Quality may suffer.
  • Quality + Time= an outstanding project delivered quickly, but it will Cost more.
  • 
Cost + Quality= great work at a reasonable cost, but leave plenty of Time to complete it.

International Business4) Be as precise as possible. If the source language is not precise, the translation will be loose; and there is nothing that the translator can do about it. Each industry uses different vocabularies, if you believe you are in need of a specialized translator, then the agency will be happy to advise you and recommend one.

Talk to the agency, talk to the translator, at the end of the day we just want to work smart and create healthy and long relationships with our business partners.
