What differentiates specialised translation from general translation is the terminological and technical difficulty level. This type of translation has to do with areas of knowledge where specific expertise is required and it’s challenging because of the highly specialised technical information required in addition to multilingual skills.
In contrast to general translation, specialised translation calls for expert knowledge in specified fields and may include complex terminology in the text. Consequently, it requires higher language proficiency, as well as knowledge and expertise in the subject. Furthermore, the etymology of these special phrases or terms may vary from one language to another, or even between dialects of the same language, thus involving additional research for accuracy and appropriateness.
For multinational businesses, it is undeniably important to hire a specialised translator who has a mastery of the source and target languages.

- The number of specialised translators available in the required language
- The demand for those translators
