It is estimated that between 2500
to 7000 languages currently exist worldwide. Many of these languages
are variants of more common languages, such as French for Canada
or the various forms of Spanish spoken in Latin America.
Everybody has a unique way of expressing themselves through language.
Whether it's a serious business document, vibrant marketing piece
or even a personal letter, it is important that the original text
is fully understood and translated appropriately.
When writing your original text,
it really helps to think internationally. Ask yourself questions
such as, "Will the tone translate into other cultures"
or "Will currencies need changing?"
Obviously, the more concise your
text is, the easier it will be to understand - and since there
are less words to translate, the translation process may prove
to be cheaper than you would expect.
Translators should have a professional
qualification in a language related subject, and ideally have
an expertise in another area such as medical translation, legal
translation, etc. A professional translator will only translate
into their native tongue and should always have their work proofread
by a second translator to ensure a quality translation.
Depending on experience and the
language being translated into, a translator can typically translate
between 1000 to 2000 word per day, with languages such as Traditional
Chinese taking longer than other languages such as Spanish for
Latin America.
