Translation of scientific articles (FAQs)
What is the difference between scientific translation and technical translation?
Although scientific translation and technical translation share some similarities, there are important differences in terms of approach, language and objectives:
Scientific translation:
- It focuses on articles and documents related to research and academia.
- Scientific texts often include highly specialised terms, bibliographical references and a formal structure (introduction, methodology, results and discussion).
- Scientific translators must have experience in the field of study and be familiar with scientific publications and the style guidelines of academic journals (APA, Vancouver, IEEE, among others).
- Examples of scientific texts:
- Research articles
- Conference papers
- Literature reviews
- Doctoral theses
Technical translation:
- Technical translation focuses on documents and texts related to technology, engineering, computer science, and specific technical fields.
- Technical texts include manuals, technical reports, specifications, and patents.
- It requires high terminological precision and the use of technical glossaries to ensure consistency and accuracy in language.
- Examples of technical texts:
- User manuals
- Technical specifications
- Patents
- Technical documentation
For example, a scientific article on biotechnology will require a scientific translation to ensure the accuracy of terms and clarity in research results. On the other hand, a manual on the operation of a medical device will require a technical translation to ensure that the instructions are accurate and functional.
Why is accurate translation of scientific articles important?
Accurate translation of scientific articles is essential to ensure that research findings are recognised and understood in the international academic and scientific community.
✅ Publication in indexed journals: International scientific journals have very high standards of quality and accuracy in writing. An inaccurate or poor translation can cause the article to be rejected or misinterpreted by reviewers.
✅ Presentation at international conferences: Correctly translated scientific articles increase the chances of acceptance at international conferences and academic events, allowing researchers to share their results effectively.
✅ International collaboration: Accurate translation facilitates collaboration between researchers and scientific teams from different countries. Technical terminology and results must be understandable and consistent to ensure correct interpretation and application of findings.
✅ Academic impact: Accuracy and clarity in scientific translation increase the likelihood that the article will be cited in other research, which enhances the impact and reputation of the researcher or institution.
For example, a clinical study on a new cancer treatment that is mistranslated can lead to misunderstandings and affect the application of the results in future studies.
What elements need to be adapted in a translation of scientific articles?
Accurate scientific translation involves much more than simply translating text from one language to another. In order for the article to be understandable and accepted in the academic world, several key elements must be adapted:
✅ Technical terminology: Scientific terms must be accurate and consistent with the field of study. We use specific glossaries and academic databases to ensure that terminology is consistent and accurate.
✅ Bibliographic references: We adapt the format of references according to the standards of the journal or institution (APA, Vancouver, MLA, IEEE, etc.).
✅ Academic style and tone: We adjust the style and tone of the translation to suit the standards and expectations of the academic audience.
✅ Figures and tables: We translate the content of figures, graphs and tables, ensuring that labels and units of measurement are accurate and correctly adapted to the target language.
✅ Notes and clarifications: If the article includes footnotes or clarifications, we translate and adapt them to ensure they are consistent with the main text and editorial standards.
✅ Abbreviations and symbols: We adapt abbreviations and symbols to make them understandable and consistent with international standards.
For example, in an article on physics, units of measurement and universal constants must be adapted to the metric or imperial system depending on the target market.
How long does it take to translate a scientific article?
The time required to translate a scientific article depends on several factors:
✅ Length of the article: A 5,000-word scientific article can take between 3 and 5 days to translate, while a 50,000-word doctoral thesis can take between 3 and 4 weeks.
✅ Content complexity: Translating an article on quantum physics or biotechnology may take longer due to the complexity of the terminology and the need to research specialised terms.
✅ Number of revisions: If the article requires several rounds of revision to meet the standards of a specific journal, the process may take longer.
✅ Format: The translation of figures, tables, and bibliographical references may also increase the delivery time.
✅ Number of languages: If the article needs to be translated into several languages, the process will take longer to ensure that each translation is accurate and adapted to the norms of each language.
At Translinguo Global, we offer urgent translation services for projects that require fast turnaround without compromising quality.
