Portfolio

A&A Lingua aims to offer high-quality translation service in wide range of fields, including but not limited to economics, law, medicine and advertising. The team of translators and editors we have selected reflects this orientation by specializing in groups of fields.

Certification under the European translation services quality standard attests to well-planned services, transparent project management and high-quality translation.

Naturally, the work in our portfolio is the clearest indication.

 

European Union and law

Since 2004, A&A Lingua has handled translation projects for the European Commission and the Translation centre for the Bodies of the European Union. In the preceding years, 2003-2004, we translated approximately 5,000 pages of the European Union acquis communautaire, the community’s legal framework. We have translated regulations, draft laws and information materials for the public. The topics have ranged from economics and legal affairs to medicine and technology.

Translating for the European Union requires translators to have diverse skills and knowledge: a knowledge of terminology, skill at using databases, and razor-sharp use of language. Thanks to our stringent quality procedures and good performance, the translation of over 25,000 pages of European Union legal acts and other materials has been entrusted to us.

In the field of translating legal documents, A&A Lingua works with several lawyer-linguists and translators with a law school background. We consider it essential for our translators to have competence in specific subject areas: they must be up-to-date with legal acts and professional terminology in their field. We have a long experience in translating legal texts – legislation, regulations and contracts, among others.

Economy

A&A Lingua has over ten years of experience in translating economics and finance texts for many large public accountants. In cooperation with international public accountants PwC, our translators have translated audit standards (ISA) and accounting standards (IAS). Thanks to longstanding relationship with Ernst & Young, we are conversant in financial reporting standards (IFRS) terminology. A&A Lingua’s translators are all well abreast of terminology as used at the European Central Bank and Eesti Pank (the Bank of Estonia).

We translate financial statements and annual accounts, audit reports, evaluation reports, fund prospectuses and other financial texts. A good translation of an economics document requires translators to be particularly up-to-date with the field. In the interests of precise use of terminology, we consult the client – or specialists among our partners – when necessary.
