Why Document Translation Isn’t What You Think It Is
Most all document translation projects that come to us arrive in electronic files of some type. The text might be associated with a website, instructional materials, or somehow not strictly tied to a stand-alone document in its final form. Collectively virtually all translation project are performed within the structure of a document file regardless of its eventual application.
In this sense virtually all commercial translation projects can be encompassed within the ‘document translation’ umbrella category. In a more narrow sense document translation refers to bodies of text that will in its target language form remain as an independent stand-alone collection of text. In this way document translation services traditionally tend to center around the some of the document categories that follow:
LEGAL
Contracts, agreements, business documents, litigation support materials, any text associated with legal significance.
TECHNICAL
Technical and scientific manuals, reports, proposals, presentations, instructions, charts, all disciplines.

Brochures, product/service data sheets, PowerPoints, catalogs, newsletters, white papers, website, promotional text and more.
