Business Translation

You put a lot of time and effort in writing original documents. You don't want to lose all of that work when you have it translated.

It’s funny when other people get translation wrong…

And it’s not just the little people you get ‘Lost in Translation’, here are a few examples of the big boys getting things disastrously wrong:

When Kentucky Fried Chicken translated their slogan “Finger likin’ good” into Chinese it came out as “Eat your fingers off”

In Italy, a campaign for Schweppes Tonic Water translated the name into Schweppes Toilet Water.

When General Motors introduced the Chevy Nova in South America, it was apparently unaware that "no va" means "it won't go."

…we’ll make sure it doesn’t happen to you.

You’ve got to admit that they are funny, but you don’t want to be the one to be laughed at.

So, ensuring your marketing material is translated accurately is critical. Not just for your company or your clients it’s vital for your career.

To avoid mis-translation, we only use qualified in country translators. They know the local market and its customs. This ensures that your adverts and promotions have the desired effect when localised into your target language.

Cultural relations

Although German ceded its status as leading foreign language to English around 1960, the influence of the centuries-old traditions of Finnish-German relations still makes itself felt in academic life, culture and jurisprudence.

Promotion of the teaching of German, actively supported by the Finnish side, and contact with Finnish universities are priority concerns of Germany. With tight budgets at schools, universities, museums and cultural centres, Finland is grateful for the assistance provided by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Educational Exchange Service (PAD), the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and other cultural organizations.

In spite of considerable budget cutbacks, the Goethe Institute in Helsinki (the last remaining branch in the country – the Tampere, Turku and Jyväskylä branches having been closed in 1990) makes a significant contribution to lively cultural exchange. Other major pillars of cultural relations are the German School and the German Library in Helsinki, both of which celebrate their 125th anniversary in 2006, the German Lutheran community in Finland, the 4 DAAD academic teachers and the German departments in Finnish universities.

There is a tightly-knit network of cultural exchange in the private sector as well. In addition to numerous visits and personal contacts between artists, scientists and scholars from the two countries, a wide range of cultural activities are organized by the more than 30 Finnish-German cultural associations in Finland, as well as some 80 local chapters of the German-Finnish Society, the third largest bilateral society of its kind in Germany (after those for the United Kingdom and France). Activities are also carried out under some 60 town twinning partnerships, including exchanges for secondary school students and young people. Germany remains a popular place to study for Finnish students.
