The European Union is a unique economic and political union between 27 EU countries that together cover much of the continent. In line with its status as a democratic international organization, one of the EU's founding principles is multilingualism.
This policy aims at:
- Communicating with its citizens in their own languages
- Protecting Europe’s rich linguistic diversity
- Promoting language learning in Europe
The Challenge
A large mass of text has to be translated into all official EU languages. The texts are difficult and from various specialized administrative sectors; translation of almost all these texts requires knowledge of law and a wide variety of other expertise, for example in agriculture, taxation, trade or politics.
There are strict formal requirements that apply to many text types, and they must be adhered to. These are extensive, multilingual translation projects that last several years and for which trustworthy professionals are needed.
The Solution
- Translation services
- Localization services
- Proofreading services
