Global Connections: A Podcast Featuring Translation Topics for Business

Using a free online translator is like playing the game of telephone, but with a robot. To see how online translators can make content lose meaning, try pasting some text into Google Translate, then translating that text back to English. Your original text will have a different context or meaning. This becomes more true as the length and complexity of your text increases.

The best translation providers utilize translation management software to manage projects with efficiency, cut down on your costs, and ensure that your target audience receives consistent, clear messaging.

Good language translation is often more involved than many manufacturers initially realize. Don’t discover this the hard way. When your manufacturing business is ready for a new product launch or plans to enter a new market, contract with a professional translation services provider that stands behind the quality of its work and provides top-notch customer service and guidance. 

Technical translations are used in a number of industries including medical, engineering, scientific, and manufacturing. To translate technical terms, one needs to be precise and accurate. The smallest variation in meaning, especially when translated into other languages, could be disastrous. 

Global events have an impact on translation needs, especially for manufacturing companies in industries such as agriculture, construction, automotive, custom machinery, medical devices, chemicals, food production, consumer goods, and more. For highly regulated industries, like medical device manufacturing, or firms with widely dispersed employees and customers, global events can have an even bigger impact, making a reliable translation partner vital to your responsiveness.
