Print, digital, new or used,\u00a0books<\/strong>\u00a0have always been \u2013 and continue to be \u2013 synonymous with knowledge.<\/p>\n

The sort of knowledge we can get from a book depends on its type. When we read a novel or essay, for example, we learn about places, stories and lives different from our own, inevitably broadening our horizons.<\/p>\n

By contrast, when we read a technical manual, we acquire more specialized knowledge than you would find in a literary text.<\/p>\n

In both cases, though, we are faced with a valuable resource whose true potential can only be unlocked by a process we know well:\u00a0translation.<\/p>\n

To translate a book is to\u00a0increase the number of people\u00a0who can access the knowledge it holds. This principle certainly applies to literary works, which would be limited to a specific number of readers without translation, but it\u2019s also valid for more technical texts required by specialist fields such as medicine and science.<\/p>\n

All too often,\u00a0translators\u00a0are overlooked or given too little credit for their work. But in this field, translators play an absolutely crucial role in\u00a0divulging the <\/strong>information held within those pages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Translators as sharers of information<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are plenty of\u00a0barriers<\/strong>\u00a0that can prevent people from reading a book or limit the number of people who can do so.<\/p>\n

The first \u2013 and most evident \u2013 is the\u00a0language<\/strong>\u00a0a book is published in, but that doesn\u2019t mean that you can simply convert a book into another language to make it understood.<\/p>\n

There is a\u00a0second barrier, one that is a lot trickier to deal with than language:\u00a0culture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our words reflect our beliefs, our behaviour and our values. As such, it\u2019s inevitable that books will be full of linguistic expressions such as neologisms and figures of speech that only make sense to people from the same culture as the author of the book.<\/p>\n

For people from other countries, it can be really difficult to understand the significance of certain words and expressions, which leads to real comprehension issues with the text as a whole.<\/p>\n

Besides translating the text into the target language, translators also need to\u00a0adapt and rework<\/strong>\u00a0all the\u00a0cultural <\/strong>references<\/strong>\u00a0that aren’t applicable to the target audience. That\u2019s the only way that translators can succeed in\u00a0breaking down barriers\u00a0and\u00a0promoting the spread of knowledge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Specialist translations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

While overcoming linguistic and cultural barriers is crucial to allowing more people to enjoy a good novel, it becomes even more important to\u00a0technical <\/strong>texts<\/strong>\u00a0targeted at a more specialized audience.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take the medical and scientific sector, for example. What would happen if a healthcare worker used a medical device incorrectly due to a mistake in the instruction manual?<\/p>\n

Any kind of language barrier in this field could have serious repercussions for patients.<\/p>\n

As such, the work of\u00a0translators\u00a0is of\u00a0fundamental importance.<\/p>\n

Thanks to their extensive knowledge of their field of specialization, translators can find the right equivalent for every technical term they find in a text, thus minimizing the risk that the end user could misunderstand something.<\/p>\n

This is yet another example of translations playing a key role in sharing knowledge \u2013 not in the form of literary works, but through specialized, technical texts.<\/p>\n

At Way2Global, we believe that translation is a powerful catalyst that can overcome any barrier and obstacle. We draw on our\u00a0network of native-speaker translators<\/strong>\u00a0around the world to ensure that books of all kinds can be enjoyed in any country.<\/p>\n

Our team of specialist translators (in fields including\u00a0financial<\/a>,\u00a0legal<\/a>,\u00a0medical\/scientific<\/a>,\u00a0technical<\/a>,\u00a0leisure<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0media and entertainment<\/a>) makes us the\u00a0perfect language partner<\/strong>\u00a0to guarantee quality translations, regardless of the type of text.<\/p>\n

And our project managers oversee the entire process to ensure that each client gets the\u00a0most appropriate solution<\/strong>, with maximum\u00a0quality<\/a>\u00a0assured every time.<\/p>\n
