Each language is the representation of people’s unique culture, beliefs and traditions. Thus, it is crucial to take these specific features into account when performing a translation, since even the most common words may have different connotations in different cultures.   

The biggest mistake a translator can make is losing the meaning or the feeling that the author was trying to express. It may occur if the translator is not fully aware of the cultural aspects of the text or does not take into account the specifics of linguistic expression.    

Another important feature of language sensitivity is taking into account context and connections, as the same saying may have different meanings depending on the context used. Our translators always pay close attention to context in order to ensure an accurate and appropriate translation.   

By preserving cultural sensitivity in translations, your business will respect customers and partners from different countries. It shows your willingness to consider and appreciate local traditions, which will undoubtedly contribute to the development of positive relations in international society.
