Professional Translations
We can assist you with translations across a wide range of industries and subject areas:
- Technical manuals
- Robotics and technology
- Legal texts and official documents
- Academic papers
- Communication and marketing
- Tourism and culture
- Literature and non-fiction
Each project is entrusted to qualified translators with specific experience in the relevant field.
Sworn and Certified Translations
We are authorised to certify translations by oath before a regional court.
This enables us to certify the legal validity of translations produced by ourselves or by others, thereby confirming their accuracy and conformity. Official documents such as:
- Notarial deeds
- Certificates
- Diplomas and attestations
- School report cards
- Administrative documents
become officially recognized and can be submitted to Italian or foreign authorities.
With us, you can be sure that the translation process is not only accurate but also complies with all applicable standards and is subject to strict confidentiality.
Translation of websites
Potential audiences worldwide can be reached through the WWW, as it literally says, but only if ist language matches.
For this reason, it is essential not only to keep the website in the local language, but also to make it accessible to users scattered over the globe.
English is undoubtedly the first choice, as it is the most widely spoken language in the world, but in Europe in particular, knowing other languages is also an advantage if you want to make yourself known to potential customers and partners.
Take this opportunity to open up new prospects beyond your national borders.
Localizzation
In our branch, we often talk about localisation, which simply means translating a text into the target language whilst taking into account all the cultural, linguistic and semantic nuances of the geographical area in which the language is spoken.
The aim, therefore, is not merely to translate words and sentences. Instead, the target text should be adapted to local customs, connotations and knowledge, whilst also taking into account current trends and idioms.
This type of translation is more flexible and creative, as it aims to convey the tone, style and original impact.
Localisation is frequently found in the advertising industry and in audiovisual products such as films, TV series and video games, where the user’s experience is closely linked to their language and cultural context.
AI and post editing
With recent advances in artificial intelligence in the field of language models, machine translation has also evolved. However, it isn't quite perfect enough to leave as it is without some revision. AI always has a solution, but it isn't necessarily the right one.
In our field, we refer to this process as post-editing, and although it saves time in the long run, it often takes a great deal of time, as AI (as yet) struggles to maintain consistent terminology. The aim of post-editing is to take the machine-generated translation, with all its phrases and patterns, and turn it into a text that is accurate, sounds natural and also has a personal touch.
Particularly in technical translations, it is important to maintain consistent terminology to avoid causing confusion.
As things stand, the machine is not yet capable of grasping the deeper meaning, the context and the finer points, which is why an expert’s critical eye is essential.
Literary translation
Translating fiction or non-fiction is a task that goes far beyond simply converting one language into another.
It is no longer the individual word that counts here. Instead, the emotional, stylistic and cultural nuances must be preserved, and a bridge must be built between the original work and its translation. You could also compare it to the work of a juggler, who creates a new balance whilst playing with words.
The end result is inevitably an interpretation of the original text, but this is precisely where the opportunity lies – particularly in the case of the classics, which can in this way be brought to a new audience through translation, an audience that would struggle with the original, unalterable version.
Interpreting
Interpreting is a powerful tool for direct communication between people who speak different languages and is used primarily in negotiations, conferences, and at official summits and meetings. Contact an experienced interpreter to overcome language barriers and ensure smooth communication without misunderstandings.
A distinction is made between various forms, which are agreed upon depending on the occasion and requirements:
Simultaneous interpreting
The interpreter translates the spoken text in real time, which requires a great deal of concentration, which is why they take turns with other interpreters. This method is ideal for speeches, events and conferences.
Consecutive interpreting
Here, the interpreter listens to a section of a speech and takes notes using pre-agreed symbols, so that they can then reproduce that section in the target language. It is used at conferences, presentations or debates.
Conference interpreting
It is used in business negotiations, interviews or at trade fairs; it is a more informal form of communication that often takes place in both directions to facilitate dialogue between the parties involved.
Whispered interpreting
In this form of simultaneous interpreting, the interpreter sits behind one or a few people and whispers the translation to them without the use of any equipment.
