Explanatory translations

Explanatory translation service

An explanatory translation accompanies the text with specific notes and information that bring to the reader’s attention any relevant differences from the original text:

• In legal texts, an explanatory translation highlights the differences between the legal system and legislation of the country of origin of the document and those of the client.
• In technical texts, it highlights references to foreign regulations, as well as correspondence to applicable standards.
• In cultural texts, this form of translation increases usability on the part of the user, as it does not only translate the text, but also emphasises the intention and communicative power of the message.

Depending on the client’s needs, our linguists will either insert the explanatory features directly into the translation or in the form of ‘translator’s notes), or they will accompany the translation with a separate document bearing the relevant explanations and comments.
