FAQs
Have questions about our Document Translations service? We have answers.
What Document Translations languages are available?
What is the difference between translation and interpretation?
Translation is the written conversion of one language to another, while interpreting is the verbal rendering of one language to another.
What is a target language versus a source language?
- A source language is the language that is being rendered or converted into another language, known as the target language.
- A target language is the language of the listener, or the objective of a translation.
What is a certified versus a qualified interpreter?
The term “certified interpreter” generally means that an interpreter is skilled in the three modes of interpretation — consecutive, simultaneous and sight translation — and has been tested. In California, state certification is currently only available for legal interpreting.
A “qualified translator” has been found to be capable of performing translation services, whereas a certified translator has proven their capability with demonstrated proficiency. At present, there is one primary certifying organization in the U.S., the American Translator’s Association. 75% of all Language World Translators are certified.
What is turnaround time?
Turnaround-time represents the number of days it will take to translate and deliver a translation project.
What about online and app-based translation tools?
Computer-Assisted Translations tools can be used effectively for translations by drawing upon previously approved terminology; however, online translation tools are not vetted to this standard, nor do they offer in-context or specialized translations.
What is a nomenclature guide?
A client-specific guide of approved translations to be utilized in future translations.
What is cultural and regional adaptation?
Cultural adaptation ensures that a translated message conforms with the cultural norms of the intended audience. Regional adaptation ensures that a translated message conforms with regional considerations, including colloquial expressions and regional dialects.
What is transcreation?
The conversion of marketing or advertisement messages to retain intended meaning in the translation process.
