The Challenge

Document translation and document translation services is a specialized field requiring training, expertise, and experience — it is not simply a matter of words being replaced one by one with another set of words. If language would function that way, we could get away with online or other automated translation programs, but human language is much more complex, and the world’s many languages differ from each other on more than just the vocabulary level. In terms of vocabulary alone, direct equivalents are not always a given, especially when dealing with specialized subject matters, as in technical or legal translation, or when translating languages as conceptually different as English and Chinese, for instance. 

Then there is grammar, of course—the German sentence structure is famous for placing the verbs at the end of the sentence, and Japanese has no personal pronouns as those defined in the Indo-European languages. The list of small and great differences is endless. What we need to understand most of all, however, before we begin to understand document translation and document translation services, is the fact that language only exists in the context of culture, and we need to be familiar with this context in its continuous evolvement to grasp what is really being said at any given time.

When it comes to translating documents in our global economy, which has to rely more and more on document translation services for the exchange of goods, knowledge, and labor, the stakes are high in terms of understanding and relaying the message from one language and culture to another. Miscommunication can cost companies and organizations dearly, and opting out of global communication is no longer an option. This is where professional translation services companies like ASTA-USA Translation Services, Inc. and its legal division, Legal Translation Solutions, can make a difference.

The Solution

The professional document translator knows source and target language and culture in and out. He or she is a native in the target language and has a high command of the source language as well. He or she specializes in different areas of expertise, such as medical, technical, marketing, or legal document translation, and works in a select field of industries, from advertising and automotive to pharmaceuticals and travel, depending on training and experience. The professional document translator has outstanding writing skills, excellent concentration, and a keen sense for subtleties of tone, metaphors, audience, and levels of formality. He or she is an expert in research and keeps current in the latest developments of his or her working languages and specialties. Last but not least, the professional document translator is well educated—over 92% of ASTA’s translators hold advanced degrees—and certified or accredited by one of the worlds’ leading institutions such as the United Nations, the American Translator Association (ATA), the Institute of Linguists, La Société Française des Traducteurs, and the National Association of Judiciary Interpreters and Translators.

The professional document translation services company employs project managers who are experts in the translation process and know how to put the right document translator team together for every single assignment. The professional document translation company works with a global network of professional translators, not only to have a pool of specialists for every language combination and every field of expertise, but also to take advantage of the strategic geographic placement of its certified translators across different time zones when time-sensitive document translation services are needed. Accuracy, high quality, and dependability are top priorities for professional document translation companies.
