Kings of Translation area of expertise

• The Basque nation is very close to its folklore. The myths and characters represent their culture and beliefs, which are familiar to the Roman or Greek gods. However, the Basque only has female goddesses. A fact a linguist must know to accurately provide a professional Basque translation to promote the native culture and tales.
• A professional translation is exactly as it sounds. Such forms of translations are usually requested by physicians, specialists, and lawyers to promote their services in a foreign land. There are also sub-types of professional translations, such as a lawyer may request a criminal law, civil law, or business law translation to ensure consistency.
• Administrative translations are the most commonly requested forms of translation. A client will request the linguist to translate public announcements and press releases. Translation of meeting minutes is also requested before forwarding them to the shareholders to solve communication conflicts.
• One of the most research-based translations is literary translation. A linguist is assigned novels, poems, and short stories to translate into the intended language. Common challenges include maintaining the context and integrity of the original text. The translator must also familiarize themselves with the dialect, slang terms, and other linguistic attributes to mimic the author’s tone.

How to translate Basque?

• Basque is an official language of Spain, alongside Catalan, Spanish, and Galician. The matter does not stop there. Each of these languages has a subset of numerous languages. Similarly, Basque has eight different dialects with a unique tone and vocabulary. Therefore, the linguist must accurately identify the intended reader to deliver a professional Basque translation.
• A Basque sentence will follow a subject-object-verb order. The structure is quite odd for universal language speakers whose sentence concludes with an object.
• The sentence structure employs the focus feature and topic rule. The focus rule is adopted for verb-focused sentences. On the other hand, the topic rule defines placing a verb at the beginning of the sentence.
• Trask, in 2003 mentions Basque has no grammatical gender. However, it does use gendering nouns and adjectives. O is added to masculine parts of speech, whereas –a is added to feminine nouns. The conjugation according to gender sometimes complicates a professional Basque translation.
• A Basque verb marks the first, second, and third-person use. Moreover, it also influences the subject and direct and indirect object.

Increase your knowledge pool with these Basque facts!

• Basque is also spoken in parts of southern France. The region borders the Pyrenees. Some of the well-known examples of Basque-focused speaking individuals include Bayonne and Biarritz. Now you can answer curious individuals about the Basque language confidently with an increased knowledge pool.
• Can you guess how old the Basque language is? Historians have confirmed the timeline of Basque’s inception to almost 5000 years ago. They believe it originated in the most southern west part of modern-day Europe. The language was introduced by the Indo-European immigrants entering the continent in search of labor and wealth.
• Basque withstood numerous invasions. It persevered through the Roman, Arab, French, and Spain armies. Unfortunately, the Gascons, Catalans, and Spaniards successfully conquered the region in the Middle Ages. 476-1450 AD saw the fall of the language when the Pyrenees side of the Basque region decided to become a Spain exclave. Until 1876, the Basque language would shift hands between the French and Spanish regimes.
• Basque is one of the oldest languages in the world, still spoken today. It is unrelated to the Latin language, which makes it truly unique. Basque was heavily scrutinized by Franco’s government. It was completely banned, which forced the locales to speak Spanish. As a result, the number of Basque speakers reduced significantly. However, the language is making a comeback in recent times.

Celebrate the Basque festivities in Basque!

• The Basques love to celebrate Semana Grande and other events. They consider it part of their culture. The festival is also called Aste Nagusia, which is held in August every year. The event is filled with individuals dancing on tunes inspired by folk music. There are rural sports involved. The Running of the Bulls takes place in Pamplona in July.
• The Basques love to drink too. The famous wine region named La Rioja is the birthplace of the national drink txakoli. The mixologist blends dry white wine into a sparkling drink. The menu usually pairs txakoli with pintxos which are Basque renditions of traditional tapas.
• If you are a fan of spending time doing athletic activities, you will fall in love with Basque even more with their national sport. Pelota or Pelote combines squash with handball. The national native sport requires quick reflexes with the opponent foreshadowing the opponent’s next move. Pelota is played on front ones, with an indoor version available too.
• Drinking and playing sports, but it seems something is missing! The Basque nation loves to eat, too, so you will fit in nicely if you are a dedicated foodie. Getting dressed and eating at Michelin star restaurants is considered a casual pastime. The diverse cuisine showcases recipes from 1,500 secret societies spread through Basque.

Impressive service overall. I needed a document professionally translated and I’m glad I chose this company to do the translation. The translation itself is accurate and precise and  took about a day or so to the the final draft of the translation. The best part about it was submitting the documents online which is extremely convenient. Would definitely use them again if I need other documents translated.
