Getting a document ready for translation can be a tricky business.
So, to help you, we’ve put together a list of 10 things you may want to consider when creating a document you want translated.
10 Tips for Getting Your Documents Ready for Translation
1. Edit
Use less words, tThe simpler your document
the more accurate the translation will be
2. Use plenty of white space in your documents, copy which is translated often ends up being longer than the
original version.
Leaving white
space should ensure that the design
doesn’t need amending for the translated version.
3. Think about how you’re designing graphics
Translating text contained inside graphics can be costly and takes
time.
To translate copy in graphics translators will have to open the
file in the programme it was originally designed in and save it back
again once the translation is completed.
4. Choose your typefaces carefully
Some languages use special accents and characters and some of
the more outlandish or ornate typefaces don’t have those
characters designed in to them.
5.
Don’t use slang,
local phrases or analogies in your documents.
These are very hard to translate and the meaning will almost
definitely get lost.
6.
Colours
can have huge cultural references in differing parts of the
world.
Not taking note of these before translation may mean
disastrous results once you publish your document.
7. Ensure your design is flexible,
for
example some languages don’t read left to right so you may need
to review the running order of your document.
8. Develop a glossary of frequently used terms and
phrases
If you have a long technical document make a glossary of frequently used
jargon or terms specific to your field this will ensure they are
translated consistently.
9. Explain acronyms
If your text uses acronyms make sure you explain it’s meaning the
first time it appears. That way even though the words which make
it up have been translated the English acronym can remain
throughout.
For example:
The common English acronym RAF means Royal Air Force
if you’ve explained
your acronym the letters used for the shorthand can stay the same
e.g. RAF.
10. Use professional translation
Computers are clever, they can remember what words
mean in different languages,
but they can’t read and understand
the context of sentences.
Leaving your translation to a computer
will mean you’ll get a very literal translation,
which could give you
some very alarming results.
