Translations in the intellectual property sector are arguably by far the most demanding translations and they require translators with both a legal and technical background.

WWT has so far translated several million words of documents relating to trade mark, copyright and intellectual property matters.

Our highly-acclaimed translators have vast experience in a range of industry sectors and they regularly translate documentation relating to high-profile patent litigation and brand protection cases for global companies which often span across multiple jurisdictions.

• Insurance and reinsurance contracts
• Coverage disputes

WWT’s legal translations teams are well-prepared to absorb and handle any increase in the volume of requests for translations as a result of the impending EU demerger: for example due to parties choosing to vary their contractual relationships or due to arising disputes on jurisdiction and force majeure. All are likely to require the translation of documents.

The impact of the UK leaving the EU spans across many different areas of law and a variety of business sectors. As a result of WWT’s 13 years of expertise in translating documents in all the various legal sectors, WWT is perfectly placed to provide invaluable assistance with the likely effects of this demerger.

Translations in the fashion industry are characterized by a style of communication that exhibits both an understanding of the industry and the necessary creative flair so that the translated product is capable of capturing the attention of the target audience in a different country.

Our fashion, clothing and textile professional translators are all native speakers and highly experienced in this area. They can both translate and adapt the text in the most appropriate way so that the translated product possesses the cultural and stylistic features demanded by the relevant market without losing any accuracy.

We translate all types of fashion related documents including:

The need to communicate in additional languages grows as new locations of energy source are discovered due to evolving technologies. WWT has translators that are able to cover over 200 languages, including not only all of the main European, Asian, African and Middle Eastern Languages but equally, the less well-known languages and dialects.

WWT is able to cover the diverse languages and dialects used in places such as Greenland, Indonesia and Angola – newly-discovered or developed locations of energy source.

Unsurprisingly, this is an area which is both technically demanding and where, often, technology has exceeded the linguistic limits of the language in use.  As a result, translations in this sector require translators that understand the technology over and beyond the text and that are capable of finding the appropriate expression in the target languages. WWT translators hold industry-relevant degrees and/or have been trained and/or had work experience in the specific sector.

Our translators are highly specialised technical industry experts, with engineering backgrounds, who understand the need to update their knowledge of terminology in order to keep pace with the evolving and fast-moving Automotive technologies.

We pride ourselves on having translators and interpreters that not only know the industry and its terminology but also, most importantly, that can find translation solutions in circumstances where for example there is no direct equivalent in the target language and one is required to find an equivalent that is either accepted and/or customarily used in the country of the target language or one that is acceptable.  We are cost-effective and have fast turnaround times.

We regularly translate documents relating to:

• Warranty documentation
• Diagnostic systems
• User Manuals
