DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRANSLATION SERVICES
1. TECHNICAL TRANSLATION
2. SCIENTIFIC TRANSLATION
3. FINANCIAL TRANSLATION
Explanation:
1. TECHNICAL TRANSLATION
In its broadest sense, it is about translating user manuals, instructions leaflets, internal notes, medical translation, financial reports, minutes of proceedings, administrative terms in general, and so forth. These documents share the distinction of being for a specific and limited target audience and usually have a limited shelf-life.
In its most limited sense, technical translation refers to “technical” documentation such as engineering, IT, electronics, mechanics, and industrial texts in general. Technical translation requires a knowledge of the specialized terminology used in the sector of the source text.
2. SCIENTIFIC TRANSLATION
As a sub-group of technical translation, as its name indicates, scientific translation deals with documents in the domain of science: articles, theses, papers, congress booklets, conference presentations, study reports etc.
3. FINANCIAL TRANSLATION
Financial or economic translation, of course, deals with documentation relating to the likes of finance, banking, and stock exchange activity. This includes company annual accounts, annual reports, financial statements, financial contracts, financing packages, and so forth.
