Military Translation Services in Jeddah

Military document translation is the most sensitive translation that is related to defense and security matters, as it is required for top precision and confidentiality without omitting any technical terms, instructions, and obligations. Alsun Arabia offers military document translations in Jeddah to those businesses and organizations that have anything to do with defense materials. 

We assign qualified translators, use the agreed terminology, and proofread before delivering while maintaining confidentiality in every stage of the process by providing prices starting from SAR 40 per page. This article will help you understand everything about military translation services including, what it is, why it is needed, how the accuracy and confidentiality are maintained, and factors affecting price.

What are Military Translation Services?

Military translation is the conversion process of defense and security material from one language into another without losing the essence, style, and accuracy of the original text. This kind of translation lies more close to technical and legal translations, as all the ranks, terms for different equipment, procedures, and abbreviations carry a set meaning.

The most significant advantage of using military translation services offered by professionals in this field is that it gives you access to translators and linguists familiar with military terminology, use of a glossary, process of review, and secure management of sensitive files.

What Types of Military Documents Can Be Translated?

Military translation services cover a wide range of documents that may include the following: 

• Technical documents include manuals, maintenance, and training documents
• Operative documents, such as field reports, security analyses, and intelligence reports
• Commercial documents, such as procurement documents, bids, military contracts, and partnerships
• Legal and regulatory documents, such as military regulations, disciplinary measures, and processes

Each of these documents has completely different audiences. Training documents should be comprehensible for the trainee, whereas the contract should be valid from the legal perspective. Alsun Arabia knows the target audience and puts its strategy in translation according to them. That is why the first step in our process is to understand the purpose of the document.

Who Needs Professional Military Translation Services?

Military documents translation is needed by many people more than you would think as the following:

• The government and defense agencies need it for communicating with their foreign counterparts. 
• Equipment providers and technology vendors need it for ensuring their manuals and specifications can be used in Saudi Arabia. 
• Contractors need it for any tenders or agreements that they have with defense agencies. 
• Non-governmental organizations and international agencies need it whenever their work involves security material.

Why is Accuracy Critical in Military Translation?

In many industries, mistranslation is a mistake that can be fixed, but in military documents the same error can be costly and lead to serious consequences. Therefore, mistakes such as the use of incorrect numbers in technical documents, weakening of obligations in contractual agreements, or the misinterpretation of instructions in training manuals may cause delays and misunderstandings between parties.

The military language does not allow for shortcuts. Some military terms lack equivalent words in Arabic and English and the use of machine translation and general meaning is not the right solution to that problem. Thus a specialized translator in this field knows the right translation for that word rather than assume its meaning and ensures the accuracy in every line.

Which Languages Are Available for Military Translation?

Most of the military translation projects in Saudi Arabia are from Arabic into English and vice versa since these are usually the official languages for most defense projects, manuals, and communication. Beside this common language pair, we also provide more than 75 languages, including Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, and German.

How Are Military Documents Reviewed for Accuracy?

Proofreading and checking the quality and translation’s accuracy are essential steps in our translation process. Our team usually begins by evaluating the document as per its subject matter, purpose, format, and deadline and then assigns the document to a translator with relevant expertise. The initial translation is then evaluated by another linguist in terms of its linguistic correctness, and a formatting check ensures that all tables, graphs, and numbers in it correspond to those of the original.

When the documents are related to contracts and regulation, a legal reviewing should be considered as it is essential that they comply with Saudi regulations. Such reviewing and proofreading steps prevent big mistakes and make it fixed before delivery and causing serious consequences.

How is Confidentiality Maintained During Military Translation?

This is what people usually concern themselves with above all else, and it’s something they need to ask about. Confidentiality is an integral aspect of our translation process, rather than a separate point listed in a brochure. 

Alsun Arabia restricts file access only to the assigned team, makes translators commit to a confidentiality agreement, ensures that files are transmitted and stored safely, and files are deleted once delivered. We inform you of all the confidentiality and data security procedures we do once you ask us about them.

What Factors Affect the Cost of Military Translation Services?

Price cannot be fixed as there are always differences between the documents. Here is the list of the usual factors taken into consideration when setting a price quote:

• Document length and the word count.
• Language pair, common language cost less than rare language.
• Content complexity, as difficult technical or legal materials require more professional work.
• Deadline, as urgent requests require additional cost.

The most effective way to receive a correct price quote is providing us with the documents to know the actual price before starting the translation process.
