Find a professional translator

Financial Translation

Modern business is rapidly moving towards the globalization and international market, and apart from the necessity to translate and localize their services and products to gain the desired success, they'll also need to translate their financial documentation. Financial translations became more and more necessary for all kinds of international businesses, especially lately, and the increasing volume of financial documents adds up to their need of hiring an experienced translator who'll be able to handle the material within the deadline and without issues. Due to sensitivity and complexity of such materials, there are translators who study finance and learn the language and terminology used within such documents. Whether it's an internal communication or external publishing, financial translation must be accurate and compliant with finance practices of a target country and client's requirements.

There are many types of financial documents, and each of them requires a very responsible and professional approach. The most common examples of such documents include:

• Annual reports;
• Balance sheets;
• Customer correspondence;
• Disclosure agreements;
• Financial statements;
• Investment reports;
• Investor and shareholder newsletters;
• Press releases;
• Tax reports.

These are the most common types of financial documents which require translation, and all of these documents contain sensitive and precise content and personal information that can't be translated by someone who has no experience in financial translations and doesn't have the necessary knowledge of finance and related subjects. It's important to pay close attention to these types of translations, as a single omission or mistake can result in obscured information within the document and poor understanding of the material.

Requirements to financial translators and translations

Due to extreme sensitivity and precision of such documents, hiring a translator without necessary expertise, experience and certificates is extremely risky. With the increasing numbers of fraud and information leaks, it's important to be careful in hiring a finance translator and double-checking all information provided by them in order to make sure that your materials are in good hands and personal information will remain personal. Polyglot offers special service to prevent fraud and verifies the translators to make sure that part is already covered when you need to find someone to translate your financial materials.
