Three main types of professional translation services


Three main types of professional translation services

Choosing the right type of professional translation service is very important when translating documents or other content. This is because different types of translations have different project scopes, specific requirements and expectations. There are three main types of professional translation services: ​

1)     Translation by industry 

Industry-specific translations are specialized translation services performed within a specific industry. Every industry has its own concepts and terminology, so translations are usually done by industry-specific professional translators. In addition, industry-specific translations are typically used to sell products and services or required for businesses that want to communicate or share information across borders.

​For example, legal documents usually require special expertise because they have very specific requirements. Even a small translation error can lead to a court case. It is important to hire a professional translation company with expertise in the legal industry. I’M Translation and ISIS Korea categorize translation services by the following industries: life sciences and pharmaceuticals, including clinical trials and medical devices, education and learning, technology translation, automotive translation; E-commerce translation, patent and legal translation.



2)     Authorized translation

If a translation needs to be certified, the translation company must ensure that the completed translation is signed material stating that it is an accurate representation of the original document. Often, certified translations are required to submit various documents written in different languages. Here are some examples of where you might need an authorized translation service.

  • Legal documents such as adoption papers, business contracts, court transcripts, and birth or marriage or death certificates.
  • Research data forms and regulatory documents
  • Visa application and criminal record confirmation
  • Immigration related documents and visa


3)     Notarized translation

The third major translation service is notarized translation. The translator signs a written statement confirming that the translation is correct. The purpose of notarization is to verify the identity of the translator and to put the notary's seal on the document. The reason for notarization of translation means that the transaction is official. It plays a particularly important role when presenting documents in other countries. Often required for education-based documents such as foreign diplomas or high school transcripts. In addition, documents such as contracts when a company wants to expand into the global market require notarization.

For best results when you need to translate a specific document, choosing the right type of professional translation service is important. At I’MTranslation and Isis Korea, we understand industry-specific, certified and notarized translations and provide appropriate services.

Important distinctions and overlaps between translation and localization

Important distinctions and overlaps between translation and localization Definition of Translation: The process of translating a text from one language to another without changing its original meaning is called translation.

Key Characteristics: ü   Word-for-Word: Translation often involves a more literal conversion of words and phrases. ü   Language-Focused: The main goal is to convey the original message accurately. ü   Contextual Sensitivity: Translation must account for linguistic differences but doesn’t always address cultural context in detail. Real-World Example: Imagine a company releasing a user manual for a new product. The translation would involve converting the manual from English to French, ensuring that technical terms and instructions are accurately represented in French. For instance, "right-click" would be translated as "clic droit." Definition of localization: Loca...
