Special aspects of economic translation

The main aspect of economic translation lies in full accordance of characteristics and parameters (accuracy of the translation, style, and meaning) of translated document to the original material. The translation must be adapted to suit the demands and requirements of target audience. Every day new business terms are invented, but they could penetrate into foreign languages a lot later. A translator who focuses on business translation has to be familiar with all linguistic novelties, meaning of new terminology and its usage. For this reason, a specialist should create a glossary of economic and financial terms, which should be updated and enriched by new words on a regular basis.

Economic translation is rather difficult because economic materials are filled with diagrams, tables, abbreviations, figures and formulas. For this reason, a translator must have solid knowledge in financial, economic, audit, bookkeeping and marketing. Furthermore, translation of business documents needs specific knowledge of international economic standards.

It is difficult to overestimate the meaning of high-quality economic translations because no high-profile events can be conducted without professional translators, not to mention World Economic Forums and Summits. Special aspects of economic translation are accuracy, strong work ethics, emphasis on numbers and facts, etc. These are the most important and necessary skills for translators who work in this field. Furthermore, inaccuracy and omissions have severe consequences, and there is no place even for a slightest error within the material.
