The financial translation sector

Following the recent changes in the economy, it is more important than ever to communicate accurately and effectively in order to sell to new and existing markets. Companies face constant linguistic challenges and high quality translation is the only answer in an industry where targeting new markets is vital and communicating effectively in a multicultural environment is paramount.

Financial terminology can be a minefield and even something as simple as punctuation can cause problems. For instance, in different countries the figure 1,234% means very different amounts and company names and job titles can vary even within a single region, let alone across borders. Business styles also differ greatly between cultures. Therefore it is important to know that the way in which you format a report in Spain may not necessarily coincide with American best practice.

All of our translators are skilled in overcoming these problems and can offer a variety of solutions, such as glossaries or in-line explanations. If you have large volumes of text to be translated, we can specially select translators who use memory software which ensures consistency and accuracy throughout, even when more than one translator is working on a project. Given the highly confidential nature of company and financial information, our translators all adhere to strict confidentiality requirements.

Cross-border expansion is now commonplace in the financial services industry and international business is always on the agenda. However, successful globalisation depends on successful translation. With our professional, intelligent approach, World Translations has the financial expertise to handle all your financial translation requirements, backed up with stringent quality control. We offer an intelligent, experienced and comprehensive range of services for the global market.

Being a good financial translator is not just about knowing a language. It is about having an eye for detail and appreciating differences such as punctuation usage, UK/US spelling and knowing that a typographical error can have considerable ramifications for a company’s balance sheet. Paraphrasing certain terms is just one of several issues at stake in financial translation. Financial texts employ an abundant usage of abbreviations and figures to designate specific concepts in the financial field. In addition, the proficient translator will have built up their own network of resources and will keep up to date with the latest developments in the financial world. Only in this way can they produce intelligent, relevant translations that are specifically tailored to meet any given requirements, with timely, consistent and professional delivery.
