03
Specialist translation (including medical and technical)
Carried out by a translator educated and experienced in translating texts in a particular area. For example, for Polish to English medical/technical translations, the translator is likely to be a Polish native speaker who is a Doctor of Medicine, or PhD in a biomedical field. This service is recommend for complex academic texts with specialist vocabulary.
Note: after a specialist translation of an academic paper, we recommended the text is also proofread by a native speaker before sending it to an international journal for peer-review. This is because a translation, although accurate, may not have the stylistic flow of a native speaker, which is often required by editors and reviewers.
