Entering foreign markets is a huge step forward for your company. However, it usually means dealing with a number of new challenges. Establishing relations with your international partners and having to overcome language barriers during business meetings is one of them – and in such circumstances, understanding each other is…
Learning languages can be challenging – especially when we’re ambitious about it and acquiring just the basic skills is not enough. Discovering dialects can be surprising; Norwegian is particularly sneaky with this, as it can sound entirely different depending on the region you are visiting. Hence, being familiar with one…
Over the last few months we’ve noticed the influence of reliable medical translations on our daily life. Before, these used to be linked with translation of medical files prepared ahead of consultations or treatment abroad. In fact, medical translations cover a wide range of services provided not only to medical and pharmaceutical industries, but also for the academia and the world of science. Thanks to them we are able to quickly share information regardless of language barriers, which significantly contributed to seamless work on clinical trials and launching new products on the market. Due to immense responsibility that comes with such services, medical translations require the utmost precision and broad knowledge regarding the realities of healthcare industry around the world. How can we find a reliable specialist that we could trust with your documents? Medical translations: what are the most sought-after language solutions? Apart from translations of medical history prepared for individual clients, the pharmaceutical industry is the one where translations are required most often – especially when it comes to clinical trials. In this case, maintaining appropriate lexicon and seamless information flow are key – but they’re not everything it takes to prepare a great translation! The documents are often presented to various target groups: researchers, regulatory bodies, legal entities and patients themselves. So our work on the text is not limited to translation from English to Polish (or many other languages), but also adjusting it with regard to linguistic and cultural context. Finding appropriate equivalents to the precise terms is just half the success – metric units, for example, also need adjustments. In Europe, kilograms will be definitely easier to understand than pounds. Translators also contribute significantly to advancements in science by preparing translations of scientific journals and post-conference reports. For their authors, such works pertaining to science usually result from years of intense and demanding work; that’s why it’s so important to cooperate with a reliable specialist boasting appropriate competences who will ambitiously approach the…
Large projects equal great challenges. That’s when a full spectrum of technologies used in software commonly known as CAT tools comes in handy. This mysterious abbreviation means simply computer-assisted translation, which more and more often accompanies translators and proofreaders in their daily work. However, little is being said about…
In the time of globalisation, cultural heritage of most nations is available to recipients in any corner of the world. It also involves audiovisual material, such as movies, TV series, or cartoons. Translation is what makes it possible. There are significant differences between audiovisual translation and other types of…
Many of us dream about making the world a better place. However, this vision may fade when confronted with harsh reality. Still, it does not mean we are utterly unable to make other people’s lives even slightly easier. Together, we are able to do good. Joint effort and wise actions – that’s all it takes. That is precisely what guided us when we established the Alingua Helpful Word Foundation back in 2016. As a translation agency with many years of business experience we are well aware of the power of words – they can hurt and manipulate, but also bring comfort and wisdom, contributing to the improvement of many people’s lives. How does the Foundation work? The basic rule of operation is very simple – 1% of the value of each translation completed by our agency is transferred to the Foundation’s account. The Foundation’s resources are therefore powered by our daily work. That’s how we, the Alingua team and our clients, contribute together to doing some good in this world. While planning the Foundation’s activities, we aim at helping as many people and families as possible, both directly and indirectly. Above all, our aim is to provide actual and wise help that will contribute to permanent improvement of the recipient’s life quality. Who are we helping globally? We believe that developed countries are morally obliged to provide support to developing countries, especially those affected by poverty, hunger, natural disasters or conflicts. Such situations are the source of multiple personal tragedies that prevent people not only from growth and self-fulfillment, but from leading a dignified, comfortable life, making it impossible to satisfy the most basic needs and exercise human rights. One of the Foundation’s permanent goals includes sponsoring three children from Kenya and Uganda. This way, we provide good childhood and education to a boy and two girls. Our projects include support for child rescue programs operating in countries affected by hunger (Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya…
