Translation for numerous Departments

The relationship kicked off more than one year ago after Politecnico tested our linguistic quality with test translations across different subdomains such as Architecture, Engineering, and Design. Since then, we have been Politecnicos sole provider of language services and we do so for the following faculties and departments:

File formats

InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, QuarkXPress, PDF, Microsoft Publisher, AutoCAD… Does it ring a bell? Architects and Designers develop building plans, planning applications, and technical diagrams in all kinds of formats. Serving these Departments requires being able to process all kinds of file formats and having a desktop publishing team that has the know-how to recreate or adapt documents when necessary.

Diversity in scientific content

Scientific translations cover an exceptionally wide range of industries and disciplines. Some of these are quite advanced while others are simply unique and require very specific skills and background to understand. It can be extremely challenging to establish a reliable team of translators with the right expertise to execute accurate and certifiable translations.

Creation of “in-house” terms

Often, researchers introduce new concepts into their scientific fields. If linguists can’t find any proper equivalents in the dictionary, they create their own terms. Whenever things are unclear, the terminology is discussed between translator and client so that the client always has the final say in how new or challenging words are translated.
