Your financial documents are more than numbers

Financial language spans many types of businesses. But whether you are an insurance company, an investment bank, or run an accounting service, you share one thing in common: precision. A faulty risk assessment calculation or inaccurate reporting can make a merger go wrong. 

 

But this accuracy doesn’t apply just to numbers.

 

Complying with precise financial terminology and strictly defined language conventions is part of it, too. And financial jargon doesn’t always overlap from language to language.

Consumer finance & retail banking translations

Consumer finance has been subject to a sweeping overhaul in the last few years. Payment platforms like PayPal, Venmo, AliPay, and others have made it their mission to bring finance closer to people. How? One of the ways has been to ease access by simplifying language. This unraveling of institutionalized financial jargon has brought along major shifts in how regular brick-and-mortar financial institutions speak to their customers, too. After all, the language inside your online banking platform has to be crisp, concise, and user-friendly. Because your customers expect it to be.

Translating for corporate finance followed suit, of course. Today, expert translators in the B2C financial translation services sector have to wear two hats: they have to comply with standards of financial terminology translation but at the same time, recreate the content so that it is void of rigid and archaic formulas so emblematic of the financial industry.

Insurance Translation Services

People often consider insurance documents to be a homogenous set of content. But at LingPerfect, we believe that is the wrong way of looking at insurance.

 

Forward-looking insurance companies have understood that, same as consumer finance, their client-facing documents and collateral have to receive a major upgrade if they want to retain their clients and expand their business internationally. In our era, customers are not willing to read through obscure jargon-strewn terms and conditions. Keep it simple, and people will trust you.

 

But the insurance industry also has another face. The regulatory aspect, the financial and shareholder reporting are all types of documents that remain firmly rooted in the traditional financial terminology. The language here continues to be highly formulaic. So any trespassing or creative liberty taken by the translator would be frowned upon.

Financial translation services - what makes them so specific?

Numbers are objective. Language, albeit used in a numbers industry, is anything but. This notion itself can give you a gist of what makes financial documents so specific – and so challenging to translate.

1. Financial regulations differ from country to country

And besides country-level regulations, there are others, too. For instance, the European Union has tried to standardize the reporting by implementing the IFRS, which stands for International Financial Reporting Standards. But these rules apply mostly to large corporations. Small and medium enterprises are left out of the scope.

 

The US has a different set of rules covered under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).

 

An apt linguist will know the difference between the two. An even sharper financial translator will know that GAAP and IFRS actually can’t be compared. The former is a rules-based system whereas the latter is a principles-based system, leaving much more room for interpretation which in turn calls for a much wider financial disclosure. 

2. Same official language, different financial language

Same as it goes for the ubiquitous “booth” vs “trunk”, there are nuances in financial terminology used in two countries that share the same official language. 

 

It is important that the financial translator knows the nuts and bolts of the language locale and the peculiarities of its financial terms.

3. Terminology must be 100% consistent

Using synonyms in financial translations is highly unwelcome. It may confuse the reader and give space to misinterpretation, which could lead to serious issues.

 

The only way to achieve this uniformity is if your language provider uses modern CAT tools which create translation memories and termbases.

4. Confidentiality is almost always required

Financial documents almost always contain sensitive data:

 

  • – Financial results disclosures
  • – Sensitive data from medical records used in insurance claims
  • – Personal information from an individual’s financial statements

 

Your financial translation services provider should to follow strict procedures that prevent information from being leaked out into the world. One of the measures which we constantly implement at LingPerfect is that any translation containing sensitive information can only be stored on our own servers and translators cannot use cloud-based solutions to process the documents.
