Financial translation
Financial translation is a highly specialised category of translation services. It is of great value to investors, creditors and decision makers who do not speak or read the language in which the source documents are prepared. In order to produce high-quality financial translations, a translator not only has to demonstrate excellent translation skills but also must be knowledgeable about the financial industry and preferably have rich experience in working in this field.
Translators at Transfish all hold translation qualifications and master's degrees in English-related subjects. Some of them even have professional backgrounds in the financial industry and have been practising in this field for many years. We are extremely capable of translating financial documents such as financial statements (balance sheet, income/profit & loss statement, statement of retained earnings and cash flow statement), annual reports, prospectuses and press releases, etc.
Legal translation
Legal translation is also a specialised translation category. Legal translation is often required by law firms, courts, police offices and other authorities. A good translator must possess a solid knowledge of the legal system, the particular language style used in legal texts as well as a large number of legal terms. Apart from that, he or she also must be highly ethical and remains impartial in the translation process. These qualities are present in all the members at Transfish.
Some of the legal documents Transfish often handles include affidavits, evidence, wills and all kinds of contracts.
Legal translation can also be combined with financial translation so it is highly desirable that a translator be knowledgeable about both these domains. Some common documents of this nature are loan contracts, corporate policies, client agreements, etc.
Immigration translation
Immigration translation is a unique sub-category of translation. It entails translating documents required for immigration, studying abroad or investing overseas and it can be essential in the success of immigration applications. Depending on the intended purpose, the immigration authorities may require various types of documents to be translated, ranging from personal documents such as driver's license, birth certificate, marriage certificate, employment contract to corporate documents such as articles of associations, financial statements and business licenses.
Transfish has a competitive advantage in immigration translation thanks to our NAATI professional English-Chinese (both directions) accreditations, meaning that we can certify translated immigration documents with our NAATI stamp so that they can be used for their intended purposes. So far we have contributed to many individuals successful immigration to Australia and other English-speaking countries.
Financial interpreting
Interpreting, simply put, is verbal translation. It requires an interpreter to verbally render the utterances of a speaker into another language in a very short time frame. Two common forms of interpreting are the consecutive and simultaneous modes.
Financial interpreting is a specialised interpreting service carried out by interpreters at occasions where financial information is exchanged or financial knowledge is required. Such occasions include board meetings, business negotiations, financial conferences and press conferences, etc. Quite often the performance of a financial interpreting is key in determining the results of such events. Transfish has a pool of qualified financial interpreters who can help make these events a success.
Legal interpreting
Legal interpreting involves an interpreter utilising his or her interpreting skills and legal knowledge to facilitate communication between participants. Legal interpreting usually takes place in formal and solemn scenarios, and it can place great responsibilities on the interpreter. Therefore, apart from being professionally capable, an interpreter must also cope well under pressure, be flexible and most importantly, demonstrate impeccable ethics. Courts, jails, police offices and other legal bodies are where legal interpreters are often needed. Transfish can meet such needs by providing highly capable and ethical interpreters.
Website localisation
The purpose of website localisation is to convert partial or entire content of the source website into the target language. To localise a website does not merely involve translation, but it also needs to take into consideration the target audience's customs, religious beliefs, likes and dislikes and so on. In the meantime, the localisation process also deals with various forms of source materials other than texts, including images, sound, video, etc. This does not only require outstanding work on the translators' part but also needs the synergy of desktop publishing, designing, and several other resources.
Transfish takes advantage of its linguistic excellence and collaborates with talents from designing, multi-media and DTP to provide comprehensive solutions for localisation of financial and legal websites.
