The Challenge of Technical Language
Food safety translations are rarely simple or straight-forward. Rather, words such as: “niche”, “complex”, or “intricately detailed”, do a better job at defining this all-important world. Accuracy is, of course, crucial to all translating work. However, the with the food safety industry, the stakes are much higher: the difference between good & bad localisations, is the health of the consumer.
Without a deep understanding of the relevant science — something that our translator network has in abundance — sentences can be near-impossible to fathom, never mind translate. For example:
“This is supported by studies with broilers fed a pelleted diet containing ground wheat supplemented with whole wheat grain and infected with S. Typhimurium exhibiting lower Salmonella levels in their gizzards and ilea concomitant with lower gizzard pH levels and decreased levels of Clostridium perfringens compared to birds not fed whole wheat grain.” Source
Sentences such as the above, are a clear demonstration of the need for specialist translators. That’s exactly why we ensure that our translations are always air-tight, informed and in-line with industry regulations.
