Translation of Internal Reports and Communications
Summary
Exploring the essential role of translating internal documents for international companies to accommodate diverse language needs.Article
In today's global economy, trade isn't the only aspect that has gone international; companies and their employees have too. As a result, it’s increasingly common to find businesses with teams that speak multiple languages. So, shouldn’t translating internal reports and communications be a standard practice?
Having worked in several large international companies, I've noticed that most haven't kept pace with their language needs. Many haven't even localized or translated their mission statements.
Typically, two scenarios unfold:
1. The company unofficially adopts a single core language, thus downplaying the need for translation.
2. An ad hoc effort is made to translate information as requests arise.
Let's examine these scenarios:
Single Language Companies
Assuming a one-language-fits-all approach is like burying your head in the sand. This can lead to several issues:
1. Alienation: Staff and divisions may feel excluded.
2. Employee Turnover: An employee's career progression might hinge more on language skills than qualifications.
3. Communication Breakdown: If objectives aren't clear to all, how can they be fully achieved?
4. Lack of Unified Business Culture: Without a common language, fostering a cohesive culture becomes challenging.
Internal Translation Efforts
While internal translation is better than none, it has its drawbacks:
1. Translator Competence: Are the translators truly skilled?
2. Timely Translation: Are documents translated promptly? Is translation given a secondary priority?
3. Confidentiality Concerns: Managing sensitive information internally can be problematic.
4. Resource Allocation: Does internal translation detract from other essential tasks?
When assessing the costs related to quality, consider the consequences of lacking it. The expense of translating internal documents deserves similar scrutiny. For some organizations, this isn't a high priority, but for others, it's crucial.
Perhaps the financial burden of necessary translations isn't as high as presumed. Routine report translations could justify in-depth discussions with translation agencies, potentially leading to cost-effective pricing agreements compared to sporadic projects.
