Translation Services for a Prominent International University

Language Connections, a translation company with almost three decades of experience in the industry, recently provided translation services for a major university in Germany. Due to our steadfast commitment to accuracy as well as our attention to the specific needs of our client, this recent translation project was a major success, a testament to skill as a language services company.

 

Expert Translation Services

For this project, Language Connections was asked by a professor from a German university to translate a survey on student happiness from English into German. To properly translate documents, are imperative, especially when conducting a survey. If a survey contains language that could mislead a respondent or skew their answer, it loses its ability to accurately provide information for the survey creators. Therefore, Language Connections took multiple steps to ensure that the university conducted an accurate and unbiased survey of its student population.

 

For instance, Language Connections hired a professional translator with a background in psychology and sociology. In the words of Leo Galperin, President of Language Connections, “providing a translator with industry-specific expertise is essential, as it ensures that nothing is lost in translation.” In the case of L.C.’s latest project, the hiring of a translator well-versed in psychology and sociology ensured that L.C. approached the translation with the needs of a survey conductor in mind. Surveys need to feature clear and unbiased language in order not to affect a respondent’s answer. For this reason, Language Connections went above and beyond to secure a translator with the requisite experience.

 

Collaborative Translation Services

Additionally, Language Connections used the power of collaboration and a multi-step editing process to craft the perfect translation of the survey. Having a multiplicity of perspectives is critical to the success of any professional translating project, especially for survey translation. Thus, Language Connections consulted numerous linguists and industry experts in order to perfect the wording of the survey, demonstrating the rigorous nature of L.C.’s translation process.
