Foreign Investment Translations

Today Translations is the provider of choice to those individuals and companies concerned with foreign investment throughout the world. We have the interpreters and conference equipment to suit any events or meetings with an investment theme on the menu.

Our linguists often translate documents associated with:

• Mergers and acquisitions
• Shareholding
• Joint ventures

In the foreign investment sector we are often called to translate the following languages:

• Japanese to English
• German to English
• Spanish to English
• French to English

This reflects the fact that the largest flows of foreign investment have traditionally been between the industrialised countries, in Western Europe, North America and Japan.

However the growth of non-industrialised nations such as Russia and China is increasingly apparent. The use of our Russian to English and Chinese to English and English to Chinese and English to Russian linguists in investment projects has grown explosively.

For example, FDI in China has grown to over $300 billion in a decade. Our interpreters and translators are in demand for their expertise in Mandarin Chinese to English and Traditional Chinese to English translation.

Meanwhile Brazil is fast becoming a dominant player. Brazilian law gives the same protection and guarantees to foreign investments as investments made by Brazilian nationals. Incentives are offered for investments in mining, tourism, shipbuilding, re-forestation and projects undertaken in the northeast and Amazon regions.

Unsurprisingly then, our Brazilian Portuguese to English and English to Brazilian Portuguese translation service is highly sought after in investment circles.

Since becoming a market economy, Russia has become a global force in foreign investment. It is the 10th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP. Foreign investment in Russia itself is also set to grow. The Russian government has relaxed laws on foreign ownership of Russian resources. The changes eased investor access to the food, pharmaceutical, banking and natural resources sectors.
