I was impressed with the quality of the translation. Good strategy and planning achieved this most critical work.
Our client, a top international bank, offers debt financing, risk management and trading solutions to customers. They operate from trading hubs in London, Amsterdam, Singapore and Stamford, and have sales offices across key locations in the UK, Europe, the US and Asia. They are well-capitalized with stable loss-absorbing capacity and their investment-grade credit ratings reflect a high-quality asset mix and strong balance sheet.
They help customers manage their financial risks and achieve their short-term and long-term financial goals, while navigating changing markets and regulation.
Client was looking for a translation partner who could quickly and accurately translate their financial reports as soon as they are published. Since the client had to deliver these reports to their customers post translation, they were looking for a service provider who would give translated reports in a faster turnaround time.
Our client wanted us to deliver the translation of their financial report within 3 hours. Project Management team had to plan, strategize and overcome all challenges considering the turnaround time, accuracy and execution.
Translation of financial market reports requires high accuracy as any incorrect translation can cause enormous damage to the investors and demolish the client’s image. Thus, the translator needed to be highly specialized and focused to handle the technical terms to accurately translate new trends and developments in less than 3 hours.
Since this is a repeat project and comes almost thrice every month, it was important to have the same linguist aligned every time to make the perfect Client-Translator fixed mapping.
Our client was very particular about the style of the report. They provided us the style guidelines, which consisted of instructions on how the numerical, currency, and fiscal values should be written. The technical term list consisted of financial terms, which had to be strictly adhered to considering the nature of the report.
