Translation for Business & Consulting

• business plans• contracts• non-disclosure agreements• annual reports• balance sheets• P&L statements• auditing reports• due diligence documentationAll business documentation is directed at one or more groups of stakeholders. An annual report, for example, will need a different kind of translation than a document for internal informational purposes.The translation of financial and business documents requires an extremely high degree of accuracy and fidelity to the original text: even a slight imprecision could potentially have very serious implications for business decisions.Take ‘a billion’; in American English a “billion” is one thousand million (ten to the power nine). In most of Europe it’s one million million (a trillion in America). In England a billion used to mean a million million, like the rest of Europe, but these days it is almost always one thousand million, like in America. Many European languages (Fr: milliard, DE: Milliarde, IT: miliardo) have a “milliard”, which is 1,000 million, like the English billion. Others use “thousand million” (ES: mil millones, PT: mil milhões).The Chinese, meanwhile, traditionally count in four powers of ten, rather than three. Their word “wàn” means ten thousand, so a million is 100 wàn. And yí = wàn times wàn, so a billion is shí yì, or 10 times 10,000 times 10,000 = 10 to the power 9.A poor quality translation will often make mistakes on issues such as this one.
