Thai Translation Service

Despite the major floods in Bangkok and the image of a broken political system, Thai translation services remains in high demand. Many investors who have engaged Thai translation services continue to explore business opportunities in Thailand. With the help of Thai translation services, Thailand remain a business friendly country with cheap access to capital, labor and land. Projects, tendered via Thai translation services, are still awarded to foreign companies, such as K-Water for the Flood management projects which totals to a worth of 11 billion.

Having been involved with Thai translation service, I've come to realize that implementing projects with Thai translation service carries a few issues. Unless you have engaged a reliable and established translation company, documents which have undergone Thai translation services require plenty of proofreading and editing. Can we do without Thai translation services altogether? Most certainly not. Thai translation services are useful when disseminating information regarding sensitive community projects, such as mining by private corporation, where local residents are to be relocated. So what’s a reasonably good Translation done by a Thai translation service provider? A Thai translation service is well executed if the materials are appropriately translated to convey the intended message from the original documents to the target audience. A poorly translated Thai material done, without consideration of the local culture, by any Thai translation service is often not well received by the Thais.

With Thai translation services in high demand again due to big infrastructure projects and return of political stability, many companies and individuals rush to engage any Thai translation service provider that happens to come their way. The following key basic points are still crucial in the selection of a Thai translation service provider.  From my past experiences, hiring a Thai translation service provider with the following attributes has helped me to save further costs from rework and impending lawsuits from gross inaccuracy:

1) Being a Long Established company

An established translation company, usually with a long history of providing Thai translation services, tend to provide better quality of translations

2) A Thai translation services provider that has a global network of offices

A Thai translation services provider that has a global network of offices is most likely to deliver better quality Thai translation services. This is due to the fact that it will have to meet the higher expectations of quality from Multinational Headquarters engaging its Thai translation services.

From my experience, the Thai translation services done by a Thai translation service provider that is based in Singapore tend to be more proficient in English as it is the practicing business language in that country. I guess being an Asian country with close contacts with Thais and their culture also means that care is most likely to be taken to ensure that the intended message  in the translated Thai marketing materials are sensitive to Thai local culture.

The observations that I have shared above are from my past experiences in dealing with Thai translation services. It is by no means conclusive and I hope it is of use to most of you who are reading the article.
