Commercial translations
Falling within the area of translations for the economic and commercial sector is the service of translating documents that deal with topics regarding international trade (business of companies that buy and sell products and services on foreign markets) and financial documents (linked to the business of banks and credit institutes).
Babelex is a valid team of professional translators – in Milan – experts in commercial translations. In recent years we have witnessed an increase in requests of this specific type of translations. Certainly the opening of markets, the phenomenon of globalisation and the ever increasing and massive presence of the web, are decisive factors that have considerably intensified and speeded up commercial relations among companies – and in more general terms, relations among individuals.
New business opportunities
Today, for a company, being able to sell its own products and services in fertile foreign markets is a great opportunity of business and expansion of its own activities. An entrepreneurial attitude and choice capable for really making a difference, but in order to fully seize this opportunity it is necessary to communicate in an optimal way with foreign realities. We know full well that in the economic and commercial sector – as in all sectors, – documents such as regulations, agreements, conventions, but also more simply technical expressions and ways of saying, change from Country to Country.
Below we go into these aspects concerning commercial translations in more detail:
- The contribution of the translation service to the success of a commercial negotiation;
- The professional characteristics of our translators;
- The correct management of sensitive documents;
- The linguistic tools and techniques adopted;
- The constant attention to the correct compliance of the translations to the original text;
- The different types of commercial translations.
Our contribution to the success of a commercial negotiation
The commercial translation service is doubtlessly a delicate business. The quality of the work carried out by a professional translator, expert in commercial translations, contributes to the success of a financial negotiation. Babelex is able to provide economic and commercial translations of a high standard, thanks to the ability to faithfully reproduce the text in the requested language. A translation into commercial English, for example, requires a wide linguistic knowledge above all regarding technical terms. We are convinced that a team of professional translators must put its own clients in the condition to understand the translated text perfectly, so as to carry out all the evaluations necessary for concluding a deal positively. In most cases, negotiating a deal with a company or with foreign professionals is a long and complex business. Often in order to reach a final agreement numerous texts, documents, letters of intent, contracts, etc. must be translated with speed and accuracy in order to give the client the chance to communicate just as fast with its own commercial partners.
