The client was looking for a translation partner who could accurately translate their commodity reports every month so that they could deliver these reports to their customers’ post-translation.
Commodity reports are the most comprehensive Consensus Forecast reports on raw materials available in the market. It comprises quarterly and yearly commodity price projections. Translation of such reports requires high accuracy, as any incorrect translation can cause damage to the investors and ruin the client’s reliability. Thus, translators need to be highly specialized and attentive to handle the technical terms and well aware of the market trends to translate the report accurately.
Our client required the translation of their Commodity reports every month. Hence, aligning the same translator every time was critical to making the perfect Client – Translator combination.
Given that the client had not shared any glossary/technical term list, it was pivotal that the financial terms and usage of numerical, currency, and fiscal values are consistent and strictly adhered to, considering the nature of the report.
It is paramount that the translation of commodity reports requires accuracy. If the ‘information’ or ‘data’ is translated incorrectly, there will be financial implications. To ensure that the client’s expectations are met, we provided 2 sets of trial translations to the client, each with different stakeholders involved. Every translator has a unique translation style; thus, we provided the client with a choice to select the version that best suits their linguistic sensibility. Our client then chose the translation team considering subject matter expertise, fluency, language, grammar, technical word choice, and other translation criteria.
The translation team selected by the client included professionals with a rich experience in the commodities sector. The lead linguist was an Economist with an experience of over 20 years of working with various financial institutions across the globe. This enabled Ulatus to provide an accurate and cohesive translation with correct terminology.
It was vital to achieving the highest accuracy; hence, Ulatus put together a strict in-house quality check system. We developed a comprehensive style guide and glossary, which helped maintain uniformity across terms used and language tone across all assignments we translated. Using CAT tools, translation memories were created with every new assignment, and they were updated with new terms. Ulatus' in-house quality expert proofreads all documents and ensured consistency across all technical and financial translations.
