• English-Hindi

  English and Hindi are two of the ‘biggest’ languages in the world, i.e. they are spoken by some of the largest numbers of people, so those speakers often come into contact with each other. And when that happens, translation work can make communications easier. This is, of course, where we would like to help you.

  Our translators

  Our translators specialise in a particular subject or area of expertise. If you want a travel guide about India translated from English into Hindi, for instance, we will have a translator ready who specialises in the tourism industry. Whatever your document is about, we have just the right translator. Furthermore, all our translators are native speakers of the target language, which can only benefit the final document.

• Urdu-Hindi

  If you have a document for use in India but it’s not in the right language variant, we can offer you an excellent service in translating from Hindi into Urdu or vice versa.

  Native speakers with a specialisation

  We have different translators who work for us for every language combination. We do this because one of our requirements is to only use native speakers of the target language. If you want documents translated from Urdu into Hindi, for example, we will allocate a translator who speaks Hindi as a native but also has an excellent command of Urdu. Furthermore, our translators are often specialists in diverse fields. This means that we can always allocate a translator who has an affinity with your document’s subject matter. Some translators specialise in legal documents, for instance, but there are also translators who specialise in translating product descriptions. Whatever the field of expertise, we always have a translator who is dedicated to it.

• Doing business in India

  India is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and its economy is constantly growing. Transport and healthcare, in particular, are becoming more important in the international market. If you work in one of these industries, then there is a good chance that you will soon be doing business with an Indian company if you are not already. Doing business in India is different than in the UK, so we have provided a short summary of how things are done in terms of conducting business in India.

  Getting to know each other

  
  Greeting a potential business partner in India is not the same as greeting one in the UK, where we are used to shaking each other’s hands. When you meet someone, you place the palms of your hands together in front of your chest and bow slightly, saying ‘namaste’.
  When meeting someone for the first time, it is not compulsory to bring a gift, but it will be received with pleasure if you do decide to bring something. In which case, bring something simple like chocolate or flowers (but not white in either case). Bear in mind that your gift will not be opened in the presence of company.
  It is not customary to discuss business at a first meeting; rather, it is about family education, etc. When it is finally time for negotiations, aggressive sales techniques should be avoided; they won’t be appreciated. Decisions are not made immediately either; they are communicated later.

  Communication

  
  A direct ‘no’ in answer to a question is regarded as impolite in India. Try to avoid such an answer by rewording it more neutrally, like, ‘I will try’. Similarly, the person you are dealing with in India won’t say no, either. What can happen is that a gesture somewhere between a nod and a shaking of the head will be communicated. You can then be sure that the answer is ‘no’, whatever else might be said. Other gestures that we might consider perfectly normal are regarded as impolite in India, so you should try to make as few as possible to be on the safe side. Whatever you do, do everything with your right hand because the left hand is regarded as unclean. Furthermore, it is unnecessary to thank anyone for a meal because it may be regarded as an insult.
  

  Language

  There are many different languages in each of India’s regions. Hindi is, however, the primary official language, while English is primarily used by the government and in the business world. It is, therefore, a good idea to find out what language the person you will be dealing with uses. You can then have your business card translated into that language. Despite this recommendation, you can usually communicate in English. Official papers often have to be presented in English. This is an area in which we will be happy to help you if English is not your or your company’s first language. We only work with experienced, professional translators who are native speakers of the target language. Furthermore, we select the right specialist for every project so that, for instance, the correct terminology is applied.
