  1. The Top 6 Translation Mistakes to Avoid

  2. Introduction • Translating is the process of transferring meaning from one language to another. • Maintaining the original tone and intent of a communication is the aim of translation. • To produce a superior translation, translators must have overcome several mistakes they are:

  3. 1. Mistranslations • Both tragic and humorous translation errors can have negative effects. • Particularly in legal or medical papers, a carelessly translated word might cost millions of dollars or even people's lives. • You can check out OnTime attestation for additional information.

  4. 2. Literal Translation • The idiomatic expression "it rains cats and dogs" loses its intended meaning when translated literally, and therefore results in a translation error. • Literal translation is among the biggest mistakes that translators make. • You can either look for appropriate idiomatic expressions in the target language or only translate the meaning rather than the phrase itself.

  5. 3. A Word for Word Translation • At best unreliable and at worst disrespectful, a literal translation would not be appropriate. • Word for word translation might not provide a very comprehensible text. • Every language has a different syntax or way of making sentences; in some languages, a full phrase can be expressed in only one word.

  6. 4. Use Incorrect Style • This is one of the largest translation mistake.  • Translators who are unfamiliar with the target language may translate a text without comprehending its appropriate style. • It is not possible to translate a legal or medical document in the same way. You can check out Certified True Copy Attestation for more information.

  7. 5. Ineffective Communication • Like in any other business, excellent communication between the translator and the client is essential. • Without communication you could not comprehend their needs, and they might not be aware of your limitations. •  At each stage of the translation process, you must communicate with the customer.  • You can visit MOFA Attestation Dubai for professional advices.

  8. 6.  Exaggeration of Word  • It's important to refrain from overusing specialised terminology or complex sentences. • Understanding the client's wants and acting accordingly are essential.  • If the document is a guide or manual for personal use, keep the language simple. • You can go through legal translation service in Dubai for accurate legal transitions.
