Focus - Sports

Are you playing Football or Soccer? How about Handball? Jai alai, anyone?

When you want to have a sports page translated it is important that the translator knows something about the specific kind of sport. Similar to the localization of a game, writing about and translating sports contents requires special skills, and often personal experience as well.

Translations in this field range from sports marketing content to training manuals to sports equipment descriptions, manuals and fitness exercises. The translator needs to be at home in these topics to be able to properly convey the meaning of the source text to an audience in another country. To translate a text about the intricacies of Jai alai, the translator must know Jai alai. (By the way, if you want to know more about this fascinating sport that is played in Tijuana, just 20 miles (30 km) down the road from our offices, you can learn all about it here).
