Business Speak

As your company grows, no doubt you will eventually look at expanding into the international market, whether that be through electronic means, or through physical presence in your intended expansion areas. In both cases, it is imperative that your employees are comfortable with the languages spoken in the new locations. There are many companies who are more than happy to arrange local tutors for your representatives abroad, to help their language learning in an immersed environment. When it comes to official presentations, publications, and your online presence, however, it is highly recommended that you invest in professional, say, French translation, services. No matter how high the language proficiency level of your staff members, when your corporate image and, consequently, perceived reliability, are at stake, it is best to leave such matters in the hands of professionals.

With the large number of multilingual personnel available in Europe, it would not be unusual for you to have employed someone who would be able to undertake basic Dutch translation tasks, such as business correspondence or local advertising. Similarly, although less common, there is likely to be someone available to carry out Italian translation for email queries or international conference calls. It is not uncommon for residents of western Europe to speak and write three or four tongues almost fluently, especially if they are romance languages.

When it comes to languages from slightly further afield, however, things become a bit more complicated. The likelihood of mistranslation increases dramatically when combining unfamiliar words with completely foreign scripts, not to mention the unfortunate impossibility of word-for-word Chinese translation, for example. Intercultural negotiations can be tricky at the best of times, and your business would do well to do its utmost to avoid any sort of insult to potential clients and partners. An accurate and professional Arabic translation could be what seals the deal on a huge account in Dubai. It's best not to risk the alternative!
