Importance of Translation Services: Language is ever-evolving, particularly in the current crisis
These words have specific meanings in the current context. Who would have defined a bubble as a group of people before lockdown? But these terms are now everywhere - in the newspapers, government guidance, policies and procedures.
Authorities, employers, educational establishments are all constantly updating risk assessments, policies, staff and student guidance. If they have a multicultural group of stakeholders, these documents will need to be translated if they are to be understood fully by all.
Universities and schools have international students, employers have multicultural staff and authorities need to meet the needs of community groups. When translating Covid-19 related documents, any translator needs to be aware of how to translate these terms relevant to the current context.
“You always need to make sure documents are translated exclusively by professional native speakers of the target language who keep abreast of changes in language use and meaning in both their native and foreign language.” Daniela Engel, Linguation.com
Furthermore, translations of scholarly articles, research reports and other academic documents about Covid-19 need to be appropriately translated with the correct terminology. This is a global issue and it is vital that information, ideas and good practice are shared internationally. We can all learn and benefit from one another if nations share experiences and research.
Governments and other authorities can then publish evidence-based guidance to health professionals, employers and educational establishments etc. Professional translation would help facilitate proper understanding of research and its key findings.
