It's rare for a translation agency to specialise in translations for the public sector. This type of texts nevertheless requires certain knowledge that translators of general texts don't have, including:

• being familiar with the specific use of language in national and international organisations,
• having an understanding of current affairs and the topics under discussion to be able to make the necessary differentiations,
• being aware of the effects of cultural differences when dealing with sensitive subjects,
• being familiar with the common sources used as a reference (e.g. Eur-lex for European legislation),
• acquiring the distinctive style of the public authority or organisation to ensure consistency.

To be able to deliver outstanding quality, Word Atlas only works with native speakers of the target language who have a language degree and several years of experience.
