Training our translators

Our team of translators includes civil engineers, architects and geologists.

In addition to regular courses on linguistics, our staff receive training on the specifics of each assignment through briefings and site visits (we conducted 16 visits to facilities, residential areas and alpine tunnels in 2012 alone). In addition, the feedback provided by our revisers on each completed translation allows our translators to refine and improve their skills.

Sector terminology

We have developed internal terminological databases to support our translators with over 21,000 specialised technical terms across various fields, compiled in our latest “Construction” glossary:

  • Architecture:  technical terms for translation into Italian, English, French, German and Spanish.
  • Residential Construction: specialised vocabulary in Croatian, Italian, English, French and German, used by our interpreters at the European ALER and CECODAS Conference on Residential Construction held on 17-19 June 2010.
  • System Engineering: Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Italian, English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Arabic.
  • Interior Design: terms in Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, English, French and German.

Certified quality

All our translations undergo rigorous 100% quality control (revisions) in accordance with UNI EN 15038, ISO 17100 and ISO 27001 standards. Terminology research is governed by the official procedures set out by the CRL (Language Research Institute) that we established specifically for the continuous updating of our translation terminology.

ALER (Lombard Company Administrators for Residential Building of Lombardy Region) praised us, saying:
“Studio Moretto Group’s translations have proven to be technically accurate, demonstrating profound expertise in the field.”
