Report translation

Reports we can translate

We can quote for annual reports, strategy documents, financial and corporate reports, clinical or technical reports, and other organisational publications. A report may include tables, charts, captions, references and text embedded in graphics. Identify which elements need translation and whether you need help preparing the final layout.

For financial statements and related investor documents, see financial document translation. For specialist material, see financial translation, medical devices and pharmaceutical translation.

Terminology, figures and versions

Share the final source, approved names and terminology, earlier editions and any style guide. Recurring headings, programme names and financial terms should be treated consistently across a report and its supporting material.

If a chart or table changes after translation has started, tell your project manager which version is current. We can agree how updates and review comments will be handled before the publication deadline.

Translate your report while design is underway

You do not have to wait for the design to be finished before translation starts. We can translate the approved text while your designer works on the layout. When the final InDesign file is exported to IDML, we use the translation memory to bring in the completed translation and address changes introduced during design.

We agree an allowance for the final-file work in your quotation. This approach has helped public bodies work towards tight publication deadlines without leaving the translated layout until the end.

Planning bilingual publication

Some public bodies have to publish specified reports in Irish and English at the same time. If your report has a fixed bilingual publication date, share the source approval schedule, design files and review milestones early. See our Irish translation and public-sector translation pages.
