Technical Translation

  What is Localization Localization is the process of adapting your content to a different target audience, usually a different country and linguistic community. It includes ensuring that content is converted in a culturally-sensitive way, providing the readership a comfortable level of familiarity. Content globalization makes your content available to a global audience, and includes intercultural communication and cross-cultural sensitisation. The localization process can be of varying complexity. Localization includes translation, but also includes much more. The Advantages 1.           Localization improves international SEO: Search engines are drawn towards websites that have good quality content. However, to attract the search engines of particular countries, we need to have content and keywords in those languages. There is also a need to re-think the strategy and specific words that are equally attractive to the reader and ...

  The world is becoming more and more globalised while at the same time witnessing a resurgence of localization. Local languages and cultures are witnessing a resurgence and greater relevance. There is a cultural and linguistic revival that has been observed in the last couple of decades in India and in many countries of the world. Take for example an airport or a railway station or a metro-rail network. These infrastructural projects coincide with the economic advancement of our country. In each region, instructions and messages on automated systems and public address systems are very necessarily to be provided in local languages. Where English and Hindi reigned supreme, the local languages such as Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Gujarati, Punjabi etc. are also considered important. The accessibility of the non-English speaking populace of the interiors of our country is a major contributing factor to this phenomenon, and rightfully so. As wealth and economic power is...

There is an increasing need for subtitling in the world of entertainment, education and infotainment. The most widely used form of subtitling is in movies and television programs where programs in an endless stream of programs are being produced each day. In today’s day, almost every country has countless TV stations and their own film industry. Take for example Hollywood, Bollywood and the film industry in China. These alone produce hundreds of films each year. There are then several smaller film industries in other countries. Each country’s films fetch larger returns if they reach other countries. One option is to dub these films, i.e. to have the dialogue-audio to be re-recorded in the respective language. The other option is to keep the audio channel as is and provide subtitles on the screen. This keeps the original soundtrack of the film while still providing a medium of communicating to the target audience in a different language what is being transacted on screen. Indian...

  The most widely used form of voice over is in films, tv and documentaries. There is an increasing need of  voice over  in the film and tv industry. Voice-over technique is used to give voices and personalities to animated characters. In radio, voice-overs are an integral part of the creation of the radio programme. The voice over artist might be used to remind listeners of the station name or as characters to enhance or develop show content. In film, the film-maker places the sound of a human voice (or voices) over images shown on the screen that may or may not be related to the words that are being spoken. Consequently, voice-overs are sometimes used to create ironic counterpoint. Also, sometimes they can be random voices not directly connected to the people seen on the screen. In works of fiction, the voice-over is often by a character reflecting back on his or her past, or by a person external to the story who usually has a m ore complete knowledge of the even...

  E-learning forms part of the education and corporate training spaces and is a prominent aspect of the translation business. Beyond the various forms and structures, there are primary commonalities across most e-learning modules from the localization perspective. Most e-learning modules have an on-screen and an audio component that are translatable. Further, there are visuals and animations that are not translatable but need to be synchronised with the translatable elements both spatially and temporally. Process of E-Learning Localization at WordPar The e-learning localization process includes three parallel processes. We identify them broadly as translation, voice-over and integration. Although the three processes flow in chronological order, the preparations to these run parallel to each other and must overlap to ensure coordination and timely execution of the overall project. A. Preparation for Translation & Voice-Over Requirement Analysis In the initial st...

What is technical translation? Technical translation is specialised form of translation. It involves the translation of technical subject matter such as user manuals, guides, patents, scientific articles and so on. Since the original work is usually written by technical writers, it is ideal that technical translation too is done by technical writers in the target language. Subject Matter Expertise Technical translation requires a high level of proficiency in the relevant subject and hence must be done by specialised translators.  The translators must not only be well versed in the given subject, but also master the terminology in the field. Specialised terminology is an important aspect in technical translation. Terminology Technical terms must be used correctly and uniformly. A comprehensive terminology management process becomes essential in such a project. A professional translation company will publish a style guide and official term bases for every project it undert...
