Translation of banking texts
Many translation agencies claim that they can translate economy related texts, but economic translation includes a whole range of various subject areas. Among them, subject areas such as accounting, stock-exchange business, taxation, insurance, banking and finance are traditionally considered the most difficult. The difficulty in translating banking texts results from a whole number of reasons. Often, translators have to deal with disparate documents taken out of context, and in order to understand the meaning of the transactions performed they need to have extensive knowledge of the specifics of the modern banking system. Moreover, due to various circumstances (lack of time, lack of direct connection with the consumer), the translation agency is not always able to get answers to questions that can arise.
In the age of globalization, banking business is changing rapidly. The unification of national markets inevitably leads to a constant increase in the share of international foreign exchange transactions. All this explains the growing need for translation of banking texts.
