Economic and financial translation:
Translating financial documents
Financial translation allows industry stakeholders to share critical information on corporate finance and financial markets. It also allows them to meet the growing volume of regulatory requirements applicable to multilingual financial publications.
In a highly international environment, finance departments, financial advisers and intermediaries, banks, market operators and financial communication agencies use translation on a daily basis. They expect their financial translation service providers to deliver a high level of accuracy, frequently within tight deadlines.
Guaranteeing professional quality financial translation
We translate all types of financial documents into multiple languages:
For regulated financial markets and the banking sector: annual financial statements, tax forms, half-yearly and annual reports, audit reports, financial disclosures, roadshow presentations, market information, listing documents, financial contracts, etc.
For private markets and intermediaries when carrying out financial transactions: memorandum information, pitch decks, roadshow presentations, contracts, etc.
We aim to provide not only technical accuracy in terms of accounting and financial standards, but also expertly drafted documents for presenting companies and their business.
For clients operating in fast-paced environments, we provide outstanding responsiveness and impeccable project management to deliver within the shortest possible timeframes.
Confidentiality and compliance with regulations governing communication and financial markets are also key priorities for guaranteeing flawless execution.
EuropaTrad’s added value for financial translation
EuropaTrad’s financial translators are selected based on their background, expertise and knowledge of specific financial and accounting terminology and practices. They often began their careers in finance before specialising in translation. Most of them are also experts in legal translation. They also possess excellent writing skills, enabling them to produce translations that are both terminologically accurate and sufficiently idiomatic to support financial communications that reflect our clients’ brand image.
Our robust ISO 9001-certified processes allow us to meet even the most demanding deadlines for market announcements and other time-sensitive financial communications, while maximising the reuse of existing translations for recurring documents.
Financial translation often features some legal translation. For finance departments, we also offer legal translation services (contracts, sworn translation) via our “one-stop shop” service.

FAQs
What file formats can you handle?
EuropaTrad can handle most file formats containing formatted or unformatted text. Besides common file formats (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint), we also handle specific publishing formats (InDesign, Publisher, AutoCAD, etc.) and data exchange formats (JSON, xlf, xml, etc.).
How much does a translation cost?
Our translation pricing system is based on the number of words contained in the source documents. We reduce the cost of translations with our CAT software, which uses translation memories to avoid re-translating previously translated content and detects repetitions within and between files. This allows us to offer you better turnaround times and consistent translations. For our regular clients, we use translation memories as a reference for every new order. Prices also depend on the chosen translation solution, which is tailored to the content and use context.
How do you ensure the confidentiality of your translations?
All confidential documents entrusted to us are protected by professional secrecy as defined in Article 226-13 of the French Criminal Code, as well as by the commitments enshrined in EuropaTrad’s General Terms and Conditions of Sale. To back up these commitments, we sign specific confidentiality agreements with our clients on request.
How can I reduce my translation costs?
You can take several steps to reduce your translation costs:
– Prepare your documents so they’re fully editable – translating PDF documents is more expensive because they need to be reformatted first.
– Entrust the translation to a language service provider that manages translation memories for you and allows you to recycle previous translations.
– Select translation solutions and their level of accuracy according to the document’s intended use.
Which languages do you translate?
We translate from and into more than 60 languages.
We cover all European languages as well as the main languages of international communication. Most of the projects we handle for our clients are multilingual translations of documents, websites or videos from and into several languages at once.
How much time does a translation take?
Translation speed depends directly on the complexity of the source text and the translation solution used.
Depending on the quality required and the length of the documents to translate, the turnaround time could be anything from 24h (e.g., for a 2- to 4-page document) to several days. Whatever the content format and expected quality level, our quotes systematically state the time required for the translation.
Translation turnaround times are given in the presentation of our solutions. Then there’s the time it takes for any page layout adjustments or approval of the insertion of translations into a website or software interface.
Which translation service or solution should I choose?
EuropaTrad offers several translation solutions that can be tailored to the use context and publication requirements. We provide advice and listen to your needs to help you confidently choose the best solution. Ask us for a free audit.
How so you reuse existing translations?
Do you need to translate similar or repetitive documents? By entrusting your translations to EuropaTrad, you ensure optimum reuse of text and content already translated via the use of professionally maintained translation memories.
This technique and the multiple connectors we offer mean translations can be reused easily in all content management systems as required. This guarantees the consistency and rigorous management of content updates. We are also able to use translation memories provided by our clients, where applicable.
