Language Support for the
Energy Sector
at every stage of the energy supply chain.
Multilingual Communication Plays an Increasing Role in the Expanding Energy Market
Recent technological innovations and the pressures of keeping up with a newly sustainable environment have accelerated productivity in the energy sector. Furthermore. The emergence of alternative energy resources has globalized the energy sector and we see it adapting daily.
As the industry expands, so does the need to communicate effectively in additional languages. Language services play a vital role in this high-stakes market, with more and more critical activities requiring qualified language support: R&D, regulatory permitting, staff training, work force safety, design & engineering, marketing & public relations. Every aspect of any international project in a non-English speaking territory is affected by the experience, quality and reliability of its linguistic resources.

Prioritizing Scope, Time and Cost
When it comes to translation, how you prioritize the triple constraint of scope, time and cost affects the quality and impacts the outcomes.
Scope
Translation for international communications often needs to be executed very quickly. Our team works with you to understand your content, define your purpose and quality requirements, and balance them with your timeline expectations in a realistic way.
Schedule
A translation challenge that requires a very quick turnaround on a million words a day of low-profile content into five languages is different from a translation of a highly technical manual essential for operation and maintenance of complex machinery or a critical medical device. Our processes assure your success, regardless of the project scale.
Budget
The cost of translation is one of the key drivers for any enterprise considering international initiatives. You can rely on our 25+ year expertise in the language industry to provide you with a clear, experienced perspective on the available options, from which you will be able to prioritize your time frame, cost and quality requirements.
Quality
From critical executive communications to key stakeholders and investors, to raw machine translation (MT) output that is sufficient for high level understanding of low-profile content, we can adjust our production processes to deliver the required quality levels to fit your purpose and ensure your global communication strategies are successful in achieving your core business mission.
