Why Translate into Different European Languages to Enter into the Global Market?

In the global business market, the most important thing to bear in mind is that a wide variety of cultures exist. The borders that separate each culture are very often hard to overcome, and it is here that the native translator comes in.

Different European languages for different markets.

In the global business market, the most important thing to bear in mind is that a wide variety of cultures exist. The borders that separate each culture are very often hard to overcome, and it is here that the native translator comes in. We specify native because no translator, regardless of how good they may be, will ever fully understand the traditions and customs that make up the fabric of a culture that is not their own.

A translator’s objective is to allow a message to be passed from one language to another, between different cultures and different ways of thinking, via a translation which is as close as possible to the customs of a given country. This is also a translator’s task, to pass a message from one side to another, allowing a product which is being launched internationally to cross cultural borders and reach the intended public so that it can be marketed. Without translation into different European languages, everything produced in one market would stay within that market, in a kind of closed circuit, sacrificing the value of the worldwide market and the growth and internationalisation of the business.

European languages and translations to fit your customers’ needs.

As outlined above, translation will make your business grow. In the global market, variety and differences are all around. Culture is defined as the collection of material and intellectual characteristics belonging to a society or cultural group which shares a common set of values, beliefs and traditions. We must make the global market adopt each of these principles, so that every product can reach every market without the need for a lingua franca like English. This is done by carrying out translations in numerous different target European languages according to the chosen markets.

For this reason, texts must be translated into various different European languages, according to the markets that you want to ‘conquer’. It will open up the dissemination of products, for example, much more effectively compared to the results obtained by only translating into one language, even if that language is an international ‘bridging’ language, such as English. Without a doubt, translating into English is fundamental because, as mentioned, it is a language of cultural and business connection. However, translating into the language of the target market you have chosen to expand into, that is the key to success! What better way to reach your customer than through their own language? When translated by professional natives, who capture the essence of what is being communicated, everything you want to say will cross any borders.

Will A Native Professional Translator Ever Rule the World?

Or, being more pragmatic, instead of speculating, we could name the main reasons your business needs professional translation services from native translators. Globalisation initiated a brand new era which means that the vast majority of companies have had to cross their national borders and penetrate new foreign markets.

Or, being more pragmatic, instead of speculating, we could name the main reasons your business needs professional translation services from native professional translators. Globalisation initiated a brand new era which means that the vast majority of companies have had to cross their national borders and penetrate new foreign markets.

Essentially, this means that if you’re looking to seriously bring your business and product before the eyes of consumers in emanating markets, sooner or later, you will need professional translation services!

What should I take into account when looking for a translation service?

One thing you should bear in mind is the importance of an accurate and thorough translation, carried out by a native professional translator, and adequately edited and reviewed by an experienced proofreader. But, how can you be sure that you get a quality finished product every time? If your business communications are being translated into a language you don’t speak, how, you might ask, can I be sure that the service provider is doing an efficient job? The most important contributing element, without a doubt, is to ensure that your chosen language provider works exclusively with native professional translators who are native speakers of the language you wish to translate into. This way you will make sure that you avoid clumsy translations which can cost your company both money and reputation! A native speaker has extensive experience, not only conversing in the language, but of all of the subtle nuances and intricacies of the language: terminology, jargon, style, verbalisation and wording.

How can I make sure I’m getting all this?

Here at BigTranslation, we’re proud to offer language services with native in-house (as well as freelance) experts, who are skilled and reliable, and specialise in numerous different fields.

As with most things, the translation process is not black and white. Just as the life experiences of each native professional translator are completely unique, the translation, language, and writing skills of each native professional translator are all different. Every translation requires a specific, targeted approach with the right professional translator taking the job on, and we make sure that your job is always in capable hands. The authenticity and quality of the work of a native professional translator with knowledge of the subject matter in question is, unquestionably, an asset if your business is ever going to rule the world…

For some time now, online translation agencies have proliferated considerably. However, it is worth considering whether all of these agencies dispose of the right linguistic services to carry out high-quality translations and offer their clients an optimum service.

When we created BigTranslation, our priority was to have the very best team of professional native translators from different countries around the world.

Rugilė from Lithuania: Working in Translation

This week, our intern Marie, the most recent addition to our in-house team, interviewed one of our senior Lithuanian translators, Rugilė. This is a little post put together by Marie using Rugilė‘s answers to her questions.

Rugilė works with BigTranslation as part of the excellent Lithuanian translation team!

 

Rugilė, tell us a little about yourself.

I am Lithuanian but I have lived in Spain for just over 15 years. For the last 10 years, I have always had language-related jobs. I studied Translation and Interpreting at university and, since graduating, I have worked exclusively in translation.

What languages do you speak, and how do you maintain your proficiency?

At the University of Vilnius, I had the chance to study English and Spanish as primary languages. Currently, my working languages are: Lithuanian, Spanish, English and Russian. For me, translation is a tool which bridges the gap between people that speak different languages. It is indispensable for international communication.

 Was being a translator your dream job when you were little?

Have I always dreamt of being a translator? In all honesty, I can’t say that I discovered my vocation as a child, but my interest in languages did start at a young age. That interest grew and took shape as I travelled to different places over the years, discovering different worlds and different peoples. As well as a translator, I also work as an intercultural mediator and I believe that these two professions are those which best define me professionally.

How did you become a BigTranslator?

I work as a translator and proofreader for BigTranslation. Sometimes life presents you with unexpected proposals and exciting opportunities, and that was the case with BigTranslation. One day I got a call from the team, saying that they were interested in my profile and here I am, forming part of this great and diverse team. This is a young, dynamic and enthusiastic company. Each translator, proofreader, coordinator, etc. has high standards and, together, the team works hard to always ensure that they offer the very best services to their clients. This is a translation agency which not only has the experience, energy and dynamism to adapt to the demands of the market, but also an able IT team working alongside them to make sure that all of the tools, processes and services run smoothly and efficiently.

What are your top tips for translators who are just starting out?

I believe that a good translator has the courage to move away from a text’s words when necessary in order to transmit its message. They skilfully manage the text in such a way that its message and purpose remain unchanged and the message is transmitted to the recipient in the most understandable way possible. Honestly, I can’t imagine a world without translators – translation is an ever more sought after profession, thanks to the rise in globalisation and the expansion of technology. Nowadays, all new technologies and research need to be communicated to the largest number of users as possible and, as such, translation will always be vital.
