Scientific Translation - French > English / Italian > English

Using the "Contact" page, you can request a quote or order a translation of a document from a range of scientific fields, including medicine, pharmaceuticals, agriculture the environment, engineering, manufacturing, technology and energy. A list of fields and documents offered can be found on this page. However, this list is not exhaustive, so please get in touch if you have any questions, and I may be able to help.
Care is taken to avoid the potential difficulties that can arise when translating scientific text. We are acutely aware that a small error in the recording of quantitative data can have serious consequences; minor spelling mistakes in science can alter meaning drastically. Consider, for example, the two hydrocarbons ethane and ethene: the spellings are separated by only one letter, yet their chemical and physical properties are vastly different. And in tabulating results, getting a decimal point in the correct place is also vitally important.

To enhance the quality, the context of all texts presented for translation is thoroughly researched in order to gain a full understanding of the background of the topic in question before translation begins, and appropriate subject-specific terminology is used.
