United States of America (Press Release) October 20, 2007 --
Legal Translation Market
7 Brands has been one of the choices for a growing number of Law Offices in the United States. The company offers legal translation in several languages, being Spanish legal translations the majority of its legal services. The company, famous for the slogan “translation in more than 400 languages”, is investing heavily in Human Resources to increase its participation in this segment.
Legal Translation is a much sought market. Because of the sensitivity and importance of the information to be translated, clients are more willing to pay a premium for quality legal translation services. Therefore, most of the large translation companies invest in efforts to have a higher penetration in this niche.
Legal Translators
Although the higher prices are an attractive for new translation companies in the Legal Translation arena, the “per word” rates charged by the Legal Translators may be an inhibitor. The Legal Translators are generally better paid than other translation professionals. They are always in high demand, and the apparently unbalance between demand and offer results in constantly increasing rates. The legal translators may be divided in two different groups: the newcomers, that charge less, but do not offer an experience long enough to be used by leading translation companies, and the second group, the seasoned and experienced translators, offering a first class translation while charging the highest rates in the market.
Patent Translation
One of the most popular subcategories inside the Legal Translation realm is the Patent translation. 7 Brands is adopting the Patent translations as one of its specialties, “second only to general legal document translations”, according to Camila Saunier, 7 Brands Marketing VP. “A Patent translation job is usually more complex than other legal translations, since it requires a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the filling rules in the target country: a single bad word choice may ruin a multi-million-dollar patent!” – says Ms. Saunier.
