From press releases to annual reports, zappmedia offers financial translation with dependable brand quality.
Urgent ad hoc announcements about financial products Presentations Financial product descriptions Industry-specific contracts Annual reports and financial statements Financial reports in English Multilingual general corporate reports Multimedia learning | E-learning
Urgent ad hoc announcements
Press releases, employee information and letters are topical, short-lived texts. They serve their purpose within a very short window and cannot be delayed. We therefore prioritise these urgent financial translations and translate them into the required languages within a few hours, so your news reaches the intended audience quickly and reliably.
To ensure that wording and style fit seamlessly into your overall business communications, the same staff who translate your other documents also handle urgent ad hoc announcements. Translation is supported by the terminology lists and translation archives maintained for your financial projects, ensuring consistent terminology even when time is tight.
Presentations
Presentations are developed for different talks over extended periods, updated continually and shown to changing audiences. Their translation should therefore allow time for thorough revision cycles. We recommend translation with editing and proof checking.
Presentations often reduce complex content to a few key terms, effectively compressing it. Well-documented reference material and close discussion of preferred financial terminology are therefore essential to handling specialist terminology correctly.
Financial product descriptions
Translating financial product descriptions requires detailed subject expertise and a confident command of current specialist terminology in the target language. This is especially important because dynamic developments in the financial sector constantly lead to changes, adaptations and newly coined terms.
For texts of this complexity, we use only highly specialised translators who have worked in the financial sector for years, specialise in banking and finance, keep their subject knowledge current and have successfully translated financial texts for our banking clients for many years.
Industry-specific contracts
At zappmedia, contracts are translated only by qualified native-speaking specialist translators with legal training. Contracts governing securities and other financial products sit at the intersection of law and finance. These documents are handled exclusively by highly specialised staff with a law degree, professional specialisation in banking/finance and years of experience translating legally relevant texts for the financial industry.
Annual reports and financial statements
We translate your annual reports into the agreed target languages, using the accounting framework specified for your project and approved specialist terminology.
For balance sheets, annual financial statements, risk reports and disclosure reports, we clarify the applicable accounting framework, such as IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), and the language requirements of your auditors and subject contacts.
Because completion deadlines are short, translations of these reports are often produced at the same time as the source report.
While a specialist department is still compiling tables for the notes, the risk section of the management report is already being translated; before the board has approved the forecast section for translation, the graphics are already undergoing final editing.
Efficient coordination of these workflows and processes requires meticulous management of the different responsibilities. Your zappmedia project manager supports this. Individual workflows are staggered and interwoven in parallel. In translation, for example, texts are handled in several versions: preliminary draft, final draft and approved final version. Process optimisation and flexible project management software help our experienced project managers maintain an overview of workflows and document versions, ensuring that the correct version is used at every step, whether translation, source-language proofreading, target-language editing, multilingual typesetting, graphics DTP, print-proof checking or print approval.
This enables zappmedia to complete your annual report on time even with complex requirements and short turnaround times.
Linguistic precision remains central to the annual report translation itself.
Financial terminology requirements and suggestions are systematically agreed with clients and their auditors, then used consistently in the translation.
General wording, expression and style also closely follow reference documents such as previous-year reports and style guides. Feedback and reference material for an annual report are carefully processed and maintained with approved translations in our extensive translation archives. This enables zappmedia to maintain consistency with complex specifications across different reporting years.
Through a trusting relationship with the client, each new annual report translation becomes a carefully coordinated publication that fits the company’s overall presentation. Over the years, your foreign-language annual reports form a consistent body of work that follows both company-specific and international terminology conventions, improves recognition and ensures comparability.
We would be pleased to provide detailed specialist advice.
Financial reports in English
Dedicated financial teams for British and US English support your quarterly, interim and annual reports on an ongoing basis. The specialists use current terminology and requirements specified by you, for example those arising from IFRS, IAS (International Accounting Standards), the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) or the target market. Subject and legal approval remain with the responsible contacts.
Our English-language finance teams can be booked months in advance for specific periods once publication dates have been set. You can commission individual stages or a complete English-language production service, including proofreading the source report, translation, editing, layout and proof checking through to the final English print-ready file.
Fixed contacts at zappmedia coordinate your English financial report: team scheduling and resource planning, file preparation and management, terminology agreement and maintenance, quality control and timely delivery of the final English financial statements.
Please contact our specialists for detailed advice.
Multilingual general corporate reports
Whether sustainability reports, audit reports or company profiles, general corporate reports are translated into other languages throughout the year, consistently and with subject expertise within a short time. We have specialised native-speaking staff with the appropriate professional qualifications in many target languages.
You can find a detailed description of our procedures in the section on annual reports and financial statements.
Multimedia learning
zappmedia specialises in translating and recording educational media. Multimedia teaching materials range from foreign-language textbooks in electronic media and online courses to company training, software tutorials and training videos.
We translate conventional MS PowerPoint training presentations into the required languages with the same expertise as complex training videos, which pass through multiple production stages from script to MP4 output.
Contact us: we would be pleased to handle the complete foreign-language production of your e-learning materials, including translation, editing and testing or adaptation of narration scripts, voice recording and final digital output.
