Top Translation Services in Singapore

Top Translation Services in Singapore

If you have been relying on Google Translate as the only way to get by your intercultural transactions, I pray that you’re still in business!

Most people underestimate the importance of an excellent translation service. A good translation company will ensure that your intention and sincerity are being understood by the other end. A shoddy one will cause potential misunderstanding and even jeopardise your reputation! They will also ensure your content is translated to the highest possible standards, while an inferior one will make you regret why you even hired them in the first place.

But first:

What are “Translation Services”? 

 

Different languages have different language structures, so a literal translation might end up looking weird through the eyes of another demographic. Translators have to ensure that the concepts and intentions remain the same as the original version.

The work of translation is also about establishing understanding and building relationships between different cultures. If needed, slang may sometimes be included and translated to facilitate understanding.

Tips for Choosing a Translator 

 

Find a Company with an ISO 17100 Certification 

 

This internationally recognised certification is awarded to companies which have achieved specific standards within the translation field. When you work with a company that has such accreditation, you can have peace of mind, knowing that your texts are professionally translated. 

 

Translator’s Language and Cultural Knowledge 

 

If you aren’t able to find a native translator, the next best choice would be people who have spent time in that particular culture or country. This job goes beyond the translation of words, but also the interpretation of concepts and intentions. Certain words might not sit well with another culture if literally translated. Hence, a translator needs to be expert in the language structure to give your text a more native-friendly appeal.   

 

Industry Expertise 

 

There are several translators out there with different areas of expertise. 

 

Are you looking to translate a B2C sales copy? Look for someone who either has experience working as a copywriter or a transcreator. 

 

If you’re looking for someone to translate a bunch of IT-related documents, a translator who has knowledge in IT will do a much better job than a translator who’s a generalist.  

 

Clarify Before You Commit 

 

It’s essential to check if there are any hidden costs with the company to prevent unhappiness from both ends. Also, make sure that your documents are protected by a legally-recognised Confidentiality Agreement.  

 

Communicate With Your Translator 

 

Once you’ve found your ideal translator, state your needs clearly. Be specific about the end goal for anyone reading this piece of document. That would give your translator some perimeters to work with, which can speed up the delivery time. 

 

Your translator should also be proactive in highlighting parts of the text that may not sit well with that culture and offer suggested changes. 


The Role of Translation Services 

 

 

There are about 6500 languages around the world. Singapore, already having 4 official languages, is considered a major business hub in the region. This makes the country a hot spot for several cultures to transact with one another. 

 

The art of translation is more than just turning a piece of text word-for-word into a totally different language. 

 

 


Benefits of Using Translation Services in Singapore

 

Boost Your Website’s Search Engine Ranking 

 

Your site will always be read as a single site by search engines, regardless of how many language translations it has. Therefore, search engines can bring in more traffic from different language searches, which also boost your site’s ranking as a result of more visitors. 

 

Besides, you can leverage “Geo-Targeting”, a practice where you can strategically reach out to your audience from a particular region. 

 

Ability to Enter a New Market 

 

Website copywriting aims to connect your audience emotionally with your organisation and products. When appropriately translated, you’re exposing your business to newer markets. 

 

Ability to Articulate Out Your Mission, Vision and Goals 

 

Your company’s intentions and directions must be clearly understood. Professional translators have cultural sensitivity and vast vocabulary of words to deliver your objectives clearly. Through this process, the client from another culture can also feel that you empathise with their issues. 

 

You May Learn Something New About the Culture

 

Through working with a translator, you may discover that certain words and phrases may not translate well in another culture. Hence, you’re able to gain some knowledge about your new demographic.

Gain Trust From The Local Market

Get your customers, partners and government officials to trust you, and feel you genuinely are sincere in your dealings.

 


The State of Translation Services in Singapore

Translators in Singapore are in huge demand. We have both local and international clientele requesting for their services, especially those looking to localise their businesses.

Historical sources seem to suggest that Singapore has been an international trading centre for many centuries.

Since ancient times, traders from Arabia, India, China, and — later on Europe have been passing through Singapore on their trade expeditions.

So, asked to describe this amazing city-state, and one of its characteristics would be multi-lingual and multi-ethnic, fodder for translation services.


Translation Trends to Watch for in 2020 (In Singapore)

 

Post-Editing of Machine Translation

 

 

Machines are gradually taking over the tedious translate-from-scratch tasks for regular translators. However, they are not humans and are not able to phrase concepts in an empathetic and reader-friendly style. 

 

The future of translation may involve human translator refining and editing machine-translated texts. This could finally assist regular translators in speeding up their work and possibly take in more new clients as a result. 

 

Transcreation

 

 

Transcreation is a brand new subgenre of translation. It is used mainly in the world of advertising and marketing. Transcreation aims to translate the essence and emotions of the original text into localised sensibilities. 

 

Transcreators understand that different cultures view the same product differently. Hence it’s essential to translate the message to connect emotionally with the new audience. The goal of transcreation is ultimately to trigger the reader to take some action.  

 

Several TV shows and movies have been harnessing the power of transcreation even before the popularity of this term. 

 

One recent example would in the award-winning movie, Parasite. During a scene, the word “Oxford” was used instead of “Seoul National University” in the subtitles. Despite being a highly respected institution, Seoul National University may not spark familiarity with an international audience. Hence, the translator had to use a more familiar name with similar gravitas, so that everyone, regardless of where they’re from, can understand the humour immediately. 

 

Video Translation 

 

Video marketing is becoming a big part of content marketing, not just to boost SEO, but also to provide a more enjoyable alternative to consume content. 

 

Hence, video translators are high in-demanded.
