…And in which jargons?

In order to offer a professional translation service, a translation agency must have specific skills in the medical, legal, tourist and financial field.

PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATIONS

For very technical texts, in addition to the languages, it’s important to know also the jargons (for example, legalese, medical, pharmaceutical, etc.).

The Foreign Friend adopted an exclusive recruitment system that – in addition to the common translators with an intermediate linguistic background (translators with middle and low prices, easily to resell) – allows our customers to choose translators with a technical background and/or work experience (lawyers, doctors, engineers, etc.), if they need translation intended for the so called “subject matter experts”.

Here you can find our areas of specialization:

Legal translations

Tourist translation

Gaming translations

Commercial translations

Financial translations

Automotive translations

Medical translations

Software translations

Food & Wine translation
