Entertainment Translation
English to French Entertainment Translation Projects and French to English Entertainment Translation Projects
We assist entertainment industry organizations with sector-specific documentation (or otherwise) that is written in the English or Spanish languages and requires accurate translation into French. The entertainment industry, as we refer to it, (also informally known as show business or show biz) describes mass media companies that control the distribution and manufacture of mass media entertainment. In the popular parlance, the term show biz in particular connotes the commercially popular performing arts, especially musical theatre, vaudeville, comedy, film, and music.
Of course, in addition to English or from French and English to or from Spanish Entertainment Industry translation assignments, we can also assist you with the translation of the world's most popular languages into or from: Chinese; Arabic; German; Japanese; Portuguese; Russian; Korean; Italian; Hindi; and more...
Entertainment Industry Language – Technical Considerations
Our translators, editors and proofreaders render well-written and clearly understandable texts. We place a high value on rendering a finished product that is faithful to the technical (i.e. entertainment industry) as well as cultural nuances of the target language text, where such may apply.
French to English Entertainment Industry Translation Projects and French to Spanish Entertainment Industry Translation Projects
We assist businesses in finding the best available French to English and French to Spanish Entertainment Industry translation resources – including experienced freelance translators familiar with entertainment industry jargon (actual current or former practionners in the field entertainment if appropriate or required).
In our experience, a target language native-speaker may not necessarily be the right freelance entertainment industry translator for the job. (See: Common myths and misconceptions about translation.) Though a native-speaker may be preferable for certain translation assignments, having native language skills may not 'translate into' entertainment jargon expertise (pun intended). An experienced linguist with strong Spanish and French or English and French language translation credentials, in-depth experience and professional credentials in entertainment, regardless of native language, may often prove to be a better choice.
In a nutshell, we use professional translators who have a solid mastery of the language used in the entertainment sector (grammar, spelling, technical and cultural nuances) and a solid understanding of the subject matter.
Once we are confident that the appropriate freelance resources have been identified and certain that we can honour the project deadline, we submit a quote for the translation assignment.
If we cannot secure the appropriate resources, we will do our best to refer you to entertainment sector translation sources of information that we have confidence in.
