Any translation into French involves different types of difficulties directly related to the language of Moliere. First of all, it is important to know the different national and regional varieties of the language: from the French in France to the French in Canada and even the French in Belgium, the accents and expressions are as numerous as they are varied. And then, false friends can be extremely misleading. These are pairs of words with the same root but that, over time, have acquired different meanings. Beware of these traps! For an optimal result, let professional translators take care of your French translation project.

With around 144 million speakers, Russian is spoken in the biggest territory in Eurasia. So it is very likely that one day you will need a translation into Russian. In such cases, only use a professional Russian translator. Only they have the necessary linguistic and cultural knowledge to deliver an optimal translation. Although Russian is an Indo-European language, its connection with English is relatively distant. Among the difficulties that this language represents for any English speaker, we can mention the use of the Cyrillic alphabet and an agglutinative and fusional vocabulary which makes it possible to create many variants of each word. In other words, it is essential to entrust your translation project to a professional whose native language is Russian.

A translation or interpretation from English to Chinese must always be done by a professional, native speaker, who has mastered to perfection the subtleties from the language of the Middle Kingdom. Although Peking Mandarin has been the official language since 1956, there are different dialects, which complicate the translator’s task, such as Cantonese and Shanghainese. Moreover, the writing is diametrically opposed to ours: Chinese characters which are numerous do not correspond to the pronunciation and are not separated by a space. The grammar is also nowhere near the language of Shakespeare. There are so many reasons why it is essential to use a specialist for your Chinese translations or Chinese interpretation.
PROFESSIONAL CHINESE INTERPRETATION SERVICES With the second largest GDP in the world, on its way to becoming the first, China is a commercial area that offers great investment possibilities for your businesses.

What’s the Difference Between Translation & Interpretation Services? Which service is right for your project?
Your business needs materials and messages converted into another language. No problem—you’ll contact your LSP and find a translator. Right?
Maybe. Depending on your needs, a translator might be the right fit—or you might require interpretation services.
What’s the difference between translation and interpretation services? When should you hire a translator? When should you work with an interpreting company? Which is right for your needs at a given time?
Here’s what you need to know.
The Basics: Interpretation Services During interpretation, a professional interpreter converts spoken words from one language to another in real-time. Interpretation can take place in person—for example, at a town hall meeting, a medical appointment, or an interview. It can also happen over the phone via a service called over-the-phone interpretation (OPI) and during video calls.
You may need interpretation services any time you’re working with partners, clients, or customers who do not share your native language.
The Basics: Translation Services While interpretation handles spoken language in real-time, translation services are text-based. A professional translator converts written texts—from brochures and signs to websites and books—into a new language.
Translators are typically experts in certain subjects or industries. This specialization gives them enough background knowledge to capture the meaning of a given text and translate it most accurately into the target language.
More About Interpretation Interpreters need excellent skills in both the source language and the target language. If they can’t follow the context of the conversation, they can’t paraphrase it in a way that preserves its meaning. That’s why professional interpreters must be fluent in both languages.
Since they work with the spoken word, interpreters are orally fluent. They know the spoken customs, regionalisms, and colloquialisms of each language. What they don’t do is convert word by word. Trying to interpret that way would never let the original meaning come through in real-time—both parties would wind up confused.
That’s why paraphrasing lies at the heart of interpretation. Interpreters listen to the spoken words, understand their meaning, and transform them into new words in the target language.
One benefit of Novatia translation NG’s team of interpreters is their subject matter expertise. Familiarity with a given subject is beneficial during highly technical discussions, especially when parties might use different words or acronyms for certain terms.
Understanding Interpretation Types Interpretation delivery happens in two main ways:
1. Simultaneous Interpretation Simultaneous interpretation requires intense concentration. Delivery comes at almost the same time as the speaker utters words in the source language. The time delay is minimal, so the interpreter must listen, convert, and speak the new words almost immediately.
We like to think of simultaneous interpretation as a relay race. Interpreters benefit from a team effort from start to finish. It works best when interpreters pair up, letting one person take a vocal and mental breather every few minutes.
2. Consecutive Interpretation In consecutive interpretation, the interpreter speaks after the first person completes a sentence.. This type of interpretation, with a more noticeable time delay, works well for travel guides and casual meetings where time isn’t as limited.
More About Translation Like interpreters, translators also require linguistic excellence in both source and target language. They must also understand both the idioms and colloquialisms of the source language they need to translate. Typically, translators are native speakers of the target language.
Translators work with dictionaries and glossaries to help them translate the material that’s written in the source language Although translating usually comes with a deadline, it doesn’t have the real-time urgency that characterizes interpreting. The relative release of one pressure comes with the addition of another: translation customers typically have a higher expectation of accuracy.
For this reason, we at Novatia translations NG strives to work with translators who are highly specialized in a specific area. Our translators have dual specialties in linguistics and their subject matter, so they have the nuanced understanding and industry insights that improve the quality and accuracy of their translations.
Beyond Translation When you want your message to really resonate, you need to go beyond translation—you need to consider localization and transcreation.
Localization and transcreation both take a deeper dive into a region’s linguistic and cultural differences. Localization, a process that includes translation, focuses on transforming content so it appeals to a target market in a particular location. When brands localize content, they take their original message and make it locally relevant for global users.
Similarly, transcreation recreates content with an emphasis on avoiding cultural references that may not be understood by the target market. With transcreation services, brands can confidently retain the spirit, voice, and emotion of their messaging in new markets.
When to Use Interpretation or Translation When it comes to your content needs, should you pursue translation or interpretation services? That depends on your overarching goal.
For example: if you’re at a meeting that includes a discussion and a written report, should you focus on the written or the spoken portion? Should you hire a translator or an interpreter?
To answer this question, think about the focus or main purpose of the meeting.
Is the discussion the focus of the meeting, while the written aspect is merely a summary handout? In this case, you’d be better off using interpreting services. Is the written report the focus, and the spoken portion a brief concluding Q&A? In this case, you’d want to use translation services to ensure that everyone who attends can read and understand the report. Interpretation and translation are just two of the high-caliber content transformation services we provide at Novatia Translations NG. Whatever your needs, we know how to bring people together with just the right words. Need help deciding what service best fits your project? Reach out today for a conversation.

Commonly used in one-on-one or small group settings, our consecutive interpreters maintain strict standards of professionalism and possess exceptional linguistic and interpersonal skills to help facilitate interactions between two (and sometimes more) languages.
Simultaneous Interpretation services in Abuja Generally used for large conferences or meetings and/or environments where two or more languages are required, simultaneous interpretation is a much more complex and strenuous process than consecutive interpretation. Interpreters sit in an isolated booth, listen to the speaker through a headset, and speak the translation into a microphone, which is wirelessly transmitted to headsets worn by audience members. Sometimes referred to as U.N. style interpretation, this service requires trained interpreters and specialized equipment, all of which can be provided by Novatia translations

Many companies take it for granted that the majority of web content today is in English. Consequently, businesses reason that there isn’t a big demand for a localized version of their website or products. At this point, though, the cost of translation is far surpassed by the cost of not translating.
Research shows that 70 percent of Internet users aren’t native English speakers, and according to Common Sense Advisory, 75 percent of Internet users do not make important purchasing decisions unless the product description is in a language they can speak.
Given the evidence that customers prefer to engage with websites that are in their native languages, it’s surprising that almost half of Fortune 500 companies haven’t translated web content into more than one language.
Part of the issue may be that companies don’t know where to start or what a localization project will cost. If the website is 10,000 pages or you’re translating collateral like videos, brochures and email newsletters, building a business case for translation can be a little overwhelming. But if you can illuminate the solid ROI benefits of localization, it may be easier to visualize the benefits for the bran and communicate those benefits to all the stakeholders involved.
A Little Investment for a Lot of Return
Common Sense Advisory has done a lot of research into just how much localization costs – and benefits – companies. The organization found that companies aren’t willing to spend very much on translation in the first place. A typical investment in localization generally represents less than 1 percent of total investment in marketing or R&D, even including staffing and technology costs. This seems like a good deal, considering Fortune 500 businesses that expanded translation budgets were 1.5 times more likely than their Fortune 500 peers to report an increase in total revenue.
Consider this disconnect:
66 percent of Fortune 500 retail company websites haven’t translated their websites 70 percent of Internet users aren’t native English speakers Less than 1 percent of investment in marketing or R&D is spent on localization If you don’t translate the company website, there are a lot of potential customers who won’t even know your brand exists. The companies that are localizing content for new markets are reaping substantial benefits. Internet Retailer reports that when Israeli e-retailer Under.me created a German-language version of the website, the conversion rate for customers in Germany went up from 1 percent to 2 percent. In France, Under.me translated site content into French and conversions rose from 0.67 percent to 1 percent.

Mark Zuckerberg’s remarkable display of language facility during his recent Q&A in Mandarin at Tsinghua University in Beijing impressed many people around the planet. But Zuckerberg’s linguistic feat clearly has much more significance than just dazzling us and his in-laws.
First, there’s the obvious. Facebook enjoys 1.23 billion active monthly users as of February, but Facebook has been blocked in China since 2009, one of several prominent social-media sites blacklisted by the Chinese government. Could Zuckerberg still be fantasizing about the day when Chinese authorities bring down their “Great Wall,” allowing Facebook access to its more than 1.3 billion citizens? You don’t need Alibaba to illustrate the economic potential.
Zuckerberg hinted at this himself, as the NYTimes wrote: “Asked at the Tsinghua talk about Facebook’s plans in the country, Mr. Zuckerberg took two big gulps from his water bottle to laughter, and then said, ‘We’re already in China,’ to more laughs. ‘We help Chinese companies increase foreign customers.’”
The CEO reminded the international community of one very basic lesson: in today’s global market, effective communication functions as the starting point for successful business growth. As any good salesperson knows, speak their language and you’re halfway there — getting your message across in a local language is an essential way to foster market entry.
Amid China’s growing position as an economic superpower — it will, by some accounts, overtake the U.S. as the world’s largest economy in the very near future — there’s no surprise that more and more businesses around the world are voicing their desire to break into the Chinese economic ecosystem, with Facebook no exception.
The lessons here are profound for businesses large and small trying to tap into the mind-boggling potential of the Chinese market, and which get the importance, like Zuckerberg seems to, of language localization to their business strategy. This means everything from translating company websites (and making them culturally appropriate) to localizing mobile apps, marketing material and yes, having your sales team and top execs learn a new language. These lessons are true for China as much as they are for Russia, Brazil, India and beyond.
Businesses are seeming to get it more and more though: resistance to localization is simply bad business.
