Importance of Native Translators

CategoriesNative translators, NewPosted on

Contrary to what those outside of the industry may think, translation is not a simple process. The art of translation can only be mastered when one develops an in-depth understanding of communication and the idiosyncrasies of language and culture.

Art of Translation

Contrary to what those outside of the industry may think, translation is not a simple process. The art of translation can only be mastered when one develops an in-depth understanding of communication and the idiosyncrasies of language and culture. That is why it is of vital importance for translation companies to employ in-house native professionals in order to bridge the gap where nuances and specific cultural references occur. This definitely rings true in certain translation fields, for example when translating a literary text or a promotional text for the retail industry, the main aim is to induce the same feeling in the target culture audience as in the source culture. This can prove to be a challenge when the source text contains many deep-rooted cultural references, therefore the job of the translator is to balance staying faithful to the author’s original text and adapting it to their target culture. Again, a native translator is always the best solution for this kind of job. BigTranslation hosts a team of native professional translators who specialise in various different translation fields. By doing this we ensure efficiency and can offer a reliable service to our clients, day in day out.

Several aspects are particularly important in effective translation efforts: proper localization which takes into account culture and nuances; experience in the specific subject matter, affordability and total quality management. Most translators would agree that they feel more comfortable translating into their mother tongue than into their target language, and are therefore more likely to provide clients with a more efficient translation. Having in-house natives will ensure that your company is able to meet these requirements, and consistently deliver high quality translations. Not just for translation; proofreading is also a service which benefits greatly from natives. At BigTranslation we always ensure that translated documents have been proofread by our native translators before delivering them to clients.

Bridging Communication

If your Native translators | BigTranslationteam is full of natives, it also opens up a variety of business opportunities for your translation company, as you will have personal networks in many different cultures. Your native professionals can inform you of the current business affairs and popular trends in their country which can help form connections and ideas.

Of course, just being a native speaker is not enough to be a successful translator. You also need specialized (linguistic, technical, legal, etc.) education and experience. You have to be a good writer. You must have an extremely thorough knowledge of your native language and culture, not to mention of the culture you translate from. Many would agree that the translator is essentially a writer, recreating the text of the original author. For this reason, BigTranslation carries out exhaustive selection processes in order to find the best native translators. Only then can we guarantee perfection in the services we offer to our clients.

Translating for sports

Bringing the world together

As BigTranslation is based in Valencia, home of the three-time Eurocup champion team Valencia Basket, large sporting events frequently take place throughout the year in the city. This means that the organisations participating in the events will require translation services in order to accommodate international fans who come from various parts of the world to watch their favourite sport. It is also very common for athletes from all fields to compete around the world, and players of certain sports such as football and basketball spend much of their career playing in countries where their own native language is not spoken. This is where BigTranslation comes in, as it facilitates communication between players, teams, organisations and areas of human resources.

Need a leaflet or flyer translated urgently to give out at a sports event? Or thinking of promoting an event on a website and need it translated to multiple languages? We can help you with that. Our team of professional translators fully understand the importance of delivering the highest quality, particularly for large-scale public events. Our aim of bringing the world together is something we share in common with sporting events. Translation as a facilitator of communication enables different cultures to connect and fully understand one another, which is why BigTranslation is proud to play a part in the world of sport.

Language for business

Nowadays, the most successful businesses are those which look outwards, doing everything in their power to attract a global client base and establish their brand as an international name. To expand overseas, your business needs to have a presence in your target markets, which means you need to speak your clients’ language… quite literally!

My name is Nadira and I’m 28 years old. I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I graduated from High School of Economics and Finance and later studied English language and literature at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zenica. I also attended many IT conferences and workshops in Balkans. The work experience I have gained is my strongest suit, though.

Nadira shares with us a little about herself and her career as a professional Croatian translator

The work experience I have gained is my strongest suit, though. Besides that, studying and constant education have undoubtedly helped me progress.
During my 10 years’ work experience, I have worked for over 20 different clients/employers and changed 7 different jobs. I worked as a personal assistant, administration department manager, teacher, business development manager, IT project manager, general manager and translator.
I gained most of my work experience in a German software development company. My starting position in this IT company was Business development manager. In less than six months, I got promoted to IT Project manager and then to General manager. This was where I developed my organisational and management skills which eventually encouraged me to start my own business – a B2B translation agency.

How long have you been working with BigTranslation?

I’ve been working as a translator with BigTranslation for 3 months now. Despite being a short period overall, I have to point out that this translation agency is one of the best clients I’ve ever had. I believe that the professional team from BigTranslation is satisfied with my work, effort and accuracy considering the fact that, in these 3 months, none of my translations ever needed any changes or corrections by the team’s lectors.

Which are your working languages? What is it that you most like about translating?

Bosnian is my native language, Serbian and Croatian are “near-native”. Actually, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian are all similar. There are some small differences, but anyone who speaks Bosnian completely understands Croatian and Serbian and vice versa. I studied English language and literature at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zenica so I am qualified to translate from English to Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian and vice versa.
In the world of translating, each project is a new challenge and a chance to learn something new. For me, translating is brain training which I enjoy so much and yet get paid for doing it. I have worked on so many different topics – some made me laugh, other made me sad or even angry (nobody likes poor originals), but overall they made me feel alive.
Have you always wanted to be a translator or did you consider other careers? For you, is translation a passion or a pastime?
I have always wanted to be a translator,  and also to hone some other skills that any translator should have such as organisation, accuracy, promptness, and management as well 🙂 . As I have already mentioned, I’ve had 7 different jobs and finally opted for this job because it offers education, freedom, flexibility and a great salary – all in one package. The bottom line is, I’m finally doing something I truly enjoy in!
