Legal translation
Legal translation is the translation of texts within the field of law. As law is a culture-dependent subject field, legal translation is not necessarily linguistically transparent. Lack of transparency in translation can be avoided somewhat by use of Latinism, Gallicism, tried and proven archaic legalese, as necessary.
Patent translation
Patent translation is the specialized service of converting patent related documentation into another language. This could be for a set of patent claims, a description and drawings, prior art or legal documentation relating to a patent dispute. It’s also related to IP “Intellectual Property” and copyrights of inventions.
Back translation
A translator or team of professional translators interpret a document previously translated into another language back to the original language.

The reading of an electronic copy of a publication to detect and correct production errors of text or art, which may have been skipped or produced in the Editing/Revision phase.

Today, technical writing encompasses all documentation of complex technical processes, including white papers, reports, executive summaries and briefs. Any time technical information is conveyed through professional writing, it is, by definition, technical writing. Topics may include the fields of high-tech, manufacturing, engineering, biotech, energy, aerospace, finance, IT and global supply chains. The format is no longer strictly confined to lengthy user manuals. Technical information must constantly be condensed and clearly presented in the form of technical reports, emails, policy briefs, and press releases.
What does a technical writer do?
They often work on multidisciplinary teams serving as the middleman between the engineering and technical staff and the average product user. They work closely with the technical experts to develop a highly accessible communications strategy. Their responsibilities often extend far beyond just writing. They must understand the entire project from top-level goals to the intricacies of implementation.

Telephone interpreting is a service that connects human interpreters via telephone to individuals who wish to speak to each other but do not share a common language. The telephone interpreter converts the spoken language from one language to another, enabling listeners and speakers to understand each other. Interpretation over the telephone most often takes place in consecutive mode, which means that the interpreter waits until the speaker finishes an utterance before rendering the interpretation into the other language.
Arabic medical community interpreting
Community interpreting and translation enable public service providers and users to communicate in situations where they do not share the same language. These professions are essential for social equity and egalitarian access to legal, health, education and other services. Many countries with significant numbers of migrants or autochthonous language minorities have developed more or less satisfactory services and standards in this burgeoning subfield of translation and interpreting. Instances can be identified of countries that have made significant progress (e.g., Australia, Canada and Sweden) as well as of those which started only recently (e.g., Spain and Italy). In Arab countries, however, one can hardly find a reference to this subfield of translation studies, although situations requiring such interpreting and translation services are numerous.

> Subtitling
Subtitling is audiovisual translation that has its own specifications, rules and criteria. Prior to exploring the world of subtitling, one must understand that this type of translation is considered subordinate translation, meaning the translated work has time and space limitations that directly affect the final result.
A subtitle (formed by 2 lines) can have up to 70 characters.
Hence subtitling, at its core, is a combination of various elements of interpretation, translation and transcription. It is a closely blended combination of all three activities.
The process of subtitling consists of the following phases:
- Spotting: Identifying the entrance and exit times of the subtitles synchronized with the audio, calculating the minimum and maximum duration times and considering the changes in camera shot and scene.
- Translation (adaptation): Translation from the original, adapting it and adjusting it to the number of characters allowed as per the time and space limitations.
- Simulation: Showing the translated subtitles with the image and audio running to check that they meet all criteria and may be read in a natural manner.
- Correction of errors and readjustment of the text.
Subtitle quality parameters can be grouped into the following five areas:
- Content
- Formatting
- Timing
- Positioning
- Appearance
Mirror your original layout in the target language while making sure your translated documents are no less visually appealing than the original. With top-notch DTP tools, Post-DTP visual checks, and skillful DTP specialists, we deliver world-class DTP services in any format requested by our clients.
