How to present executive projects in a foreign language
Project managers from all types of companies often need the services of professional translators. Those project managers have multilingual communication needs almost daily, as their subsidiaries are based overseas and their business partners speak different languages.
Unless a Project Manager (PM) contracts a linguist, he/she would have a horrible time communicating with business partners in other countries. If the PM try to use online translation services, the results wouldn’t be as accurate and professional as needed, which is definitely not an option when trying to negotiate a sensitive deal.
Of course, hiring a linguist as an employee is no easy matter. You have to do lengthy interviews and then hope the person will provide reliable translations. In short, you would need to find someone who domains several languages, probably has a marketing background, knows all your different audiences and is eager to have a career inside only one firm.
Instead, hiring the freelance services of professional translators is a better option. Apart from saving time and efforts in looking for a professional that fulfills all requirements, as varied as they are, freelancers represent a great option for businesses in terms of efficiency.
After the Project Manager receives the translated documents from the network of trusted skilled translators in different languages, and in the format he/she requires (namely word, jpg, pdf, xls, txt, php, html, asp, etc). In the process, the PM was able to gain access to high-quality translation and localization services with the experts he/she needed to accomplish the projects goals.
Following this system, the executive will avoid additional worries related to the negotiation with partners, and in fact focus on other tasks. Just imagine how hard it would be for a PM to also handle the communication issues when there are many core business interests involved.
