Translating PowerPoints has become an essential tool for sharing ideas, informing different audiences, and presenting projects in professional and academic settings. However, when it comes to presenting content on an international level, it also becomes necessary to translate the slides in a way that will allow the message to reach the audience in a clear and effective way. In this article we’ll explore the translation characteristics of this type of document, and why it is important to translate them.
How does a translator work?
It is a complex process that requires a wide range of abilities and knowledge to guarantee that the original message is transmitted in a precise, consistent, and culturally appropriate way.
To obtain an accurate translation of any kind of document, a team of expert professionals should always keep the following steps in mind:
- Analysis and deep understanding of the original content: Our translators get to know the topic of the presentation, the target audience, and the aim of said presentation in order to guarantee an accurate and coherent translation.
- Careful translation of the text: We use computer assisted translation (CAT) tools, and tested translation methodologies to ensure the precision and fluency of the translated text.
- Cultural and linguistic adaptation: Our translators do not limit themselves to translating word-for-word, but rather adapt the language and style of the presentation to the target audience, keeping in mind the cultural and linguistic differences.
- Revision and quality control: Each translated presentation goes through a rigorous process of revision and quality control to guarantee the document is free of errors and is coherent throughout.
- Format and design: We preserve the presentation’s original format, including the slide design, fonts, colors, and images, so that the translated presentation maintains a professional and attractive aesthetic.
