Introduction

Globalization speed does not show signs of slowing down. And with new businesses contributing to an expansive worldwide demand, the need for translation services is growing too. Today we discuss how the clients can take advantage of a language services provider to penetrate the Portuguese market.

Since the Portuguese love coffee so much, we should pay homage to their culture. Brew your favourite drink, and let us begin exploring a culture foreign to many individuals.

Area of expertise

• A professional Portuguese translation is associated with stage plays, poems, and novels. The primary obstacle in such a challenge is translating the text into the translated language. At the same time, maintain the original voice of the author. The translator must match the rhythm and story progression exactly.
• Technical documents are necessary for Portuguese businesses to comply with international and federal standards. Technical translations promote cohesion and ensure an even playing field for all businesses. Elements include user guides, documents, drawings, tender particulars, and catalogues.
• Administrative translations include employment contracts, invoices, sales receipts, and internal memos. Portuguese translation may require to ensure a global presence and promote the businesses as culturally diverse. Furthermore, the process will also eliminate communication challenges, resulting in efficiency in work-related operations.
• Portuguese businesses may require financial translation to present their year-end statements to shareholders or relevant authorities. Banks and insurance companies usually need a professional Portuguese translation to expand their services. A transparent financial document promotes trust and establishes credibility with the customers. The process results in brand loyalty and goodwill.

Common Challenges in Translating Portuguese

• There are numerous false cognates when translating Portuguese. Examples include
• Apreciação, which sounds like appreciation but actually means judgement.
• Realizar is very similar to realize. However, it means to complete something.

A translator must always search the word’s meanings and context before using them in documents.

• A professional Portuguese translation will have two forms of you, a singular and plural. The use is dependent on context and tone. Other words may be added to the translation to reflect the formality found in the source document.
• Three new characters were added to the alphabets a few years ago to reflect original Portuguese pre-evolution. Furthermore, some consonants were also removed from words. A translator is advised to consult glossaries and dictionaries for an updated translation. Otherwise, the client may send it back for revision.
• Due to the uniqueness of the language, a translation to Portuguese may expand by one-third. The expansion may compromise the call-to-action, slogan, and other engaging sentences required to hook the customer. It may also be challenging to translate titles and web pages that are crucial to the business’s online presence. Translators have difficulty maintaining the same original message while satisfying the product layout provided by the client.

What you didn’t know about the Portuguese language!

• Portuguese is the official language of nine countries, including Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, Sao Tome, Principe, Equatorial Guinea, and Angola. In addition, Portuguese is the official language of Macau, a Chinese territory. Now you can clear the misconception that Portuguese is only spoken in Portugal.
• Portuguese is the official language of Brazil. However, the majority do not live in said countries. Majority of the speakers live outside of Portugal and other dominant Portuguese speaking countries. It is estimated only one-twentieth of Portuguese speaking people live in Portugal.
• Portuguese popularity continues to grow, with the language ranking as the sixth most spoken language in the world. More individuals are interested in learning Portuguese from Africa, Asia, and South America. According to UNESCO, it has the potential to become an international language.
• After the Middle East and North African conquests, Portuguese was heavily influenced by Arabic under the Islamic Moors. The wars in the eighth century after Portugal and Span invasion led to a form of Arabic that was commonly spoken in the 13^th century. To date, olive, cushion, and bottle have Arabic-influenced terms in Portuguese.
• English has borrowed a few words from Portuguese too. Words like cobra, fetish, and embarrass have Portuguese etymologies widely used around the world today.

Pack your bags, and lets travel to Portugal

• The oldest bookshop in the world is in Lisbon. Bertrand Bookstore was established in the 1700s and is a popular tourist attraction due to its architecture. The shop captivates with the mosaic tiles display, which is its own identity. If you are a book lover, head down to the Lisbon Chiado district to browse the books.
• Portugal has the shortest and longest-reigning monarchs in history. Henrique reigned Portugal as her king for 73 years. On the other hand, Luis Filipe only reigned for 20 minutes. Their lifestyles and memorabilia are on display at the museums.
• Pastéis de Nata was discovered by a native family who has managed to keep the recipe under lock and key for the previous 200 years. The custard tart is mouth salivating with crispy texture and a sweet, creamy filling. Definitely visit the family bakery in Belem to try them for yourself.
• Portugal is home to one of the oldest universities in the world. The University of Coimbra was constructed in 1290 and received the UNESCO World Heritage title in 2013. The education institution is open to tourists, alongside its palace and the Joanine Library.
• A wine enthusiast will browse the Portuguese streets for coasters and cork handbags. Portugal is the biggest cork producer in the world, with 70% of its exports produced locally. The tourists can tour the local shops to discover how cork is made.

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.
