Companies have to break down several barriers to establish themselves on international markets. Selling the right products and services to foreign target groups is one thing. However, consistent and especially accurate communication is at least just as important in the field of finance and law. When important documents have to be sent off in different languages within a very short period of time, a company’s reputation is not the only thing on the line. Successful communication often results in a profitable partnership as well. Therefore, legal and financial translations should be provided by expert translators.
Every wording counts
Financial sector translations should always be done cautiously. Even everyday documents such as brief press releases or employment contracts often involve potential risks if they have not been translated appropriately into the desired language.
Here is an example involving financial reports: The annual presentation of a company’s success is designed to convince potential business partners and investors of its quality and strength. This means that specialised translators are not only required to have an excellent feel for language – they also need to have knowledge of the financial market. Firstly, it is important to ensure that the meaning of comprehensive reports is maintained in the foreign language and that the translated document is still readable. Secondly, it is crucial to take every precaution when translating certain specialist terms.
Always entrust financial sector translations to an expert
Accurate financial translations are required in many cases. Whether the translation is a tax document, due diligence report in the context of plans to go public or a complex M&A agreement for a company merger – if mistakes creep in, this often has significant consequences.
Therefore, it is usually not enough to give the relevant documents to an in-house employee who happens to be fluent in another language. To qualify as an individual capable of translating legal and financial documents, excellent language skills are required in addition to a highly developed feel for language and expertise in the relevant subject – otherwise, a public relations disaster, with all its consequences, is on the cards.
