What is Industry Terms Research?

Businesses frequently engage in market research activities before starting marketing projects. Understanding consumer preferences helps:

  1. • Minimize risks
  2. • Ensure quality
  3. • Enhance the effectiveness of delivering products to the target customers

There is a unique customer segment consisting of experts, specialists, and business clients in a particular industry. In fact, persuading this specific customer segment often poses a significant challenge as businesses venture into foreign markets.

Industry Terms Research© is developed to support translation projects of documents and content intended for experts in relevant industries. The objective of this process is to understand the language and preferences of this specialized group.

What is Industry Terms Research? - Thao & Co.

Industry Terms Research© is suitable for translation projects for expert audiences, such as:

  1. • Slogan and tagline translation for specialized products targeting experts, technicians, and specialists
  2. Brochure and catalog translation
  3. • Proposal translation
  4. • Medical equipment user guide translation
  5. Technical manual translation

Industry Terms Research: Benefits for specialized translation projects

Some outstanding benefits of Industry Terms Research© include:

Guaranteed accuracy

One major challenges in specialized translation is dealing with evolving technical terms. Interviewing experts helps linguists gain a proper understanding of technical terms and concepts, contributing to more accurate translations.

For example: In the aerospace industry:

The term “Thrust reversal” refers to the system of components that create reverse thrust to slow down an aircraft during landing. In Vietnamese, the equivalent term describing a similar function is called “Hệ thống thổi ngược“.

However, the Vietnamese term emphasizes the reverse airflow of the fan blades rather than the reverse thrust effect. Without understanding related functions and local technical language, linguists may struggle to choose the correct term.

Content Localization

9 Tips for Software Translation - Thao & Co.

Similar to the example above, industry terms can vary in different languages. Furthermore, each country may have its own set of technical languages, such as:

  1. ASD-STE100 in the automotive and aerospace industries in Europe
  2. • The ScaniaSwedish standard language used in truck maintenance in Sweden

Only native experts working in the field can provide insights into these specific language standards. Therefore, the approach helps linguists produce translations that align with the specialized language of the target region. By doing so, they can create translations that are both appropriate and engaging.

  1. • Healthcare
  2. • Manufacturing
  3. • Legal
  4. • Automotive
  5. • Aerospace
  6. • Construction

Industry Terms Research© can help translators accurately convey content, information, and terminology, thereby reducing risks associated with the use of:

  1. • Translated manual documents
  2. • Safety guides
  3. • Other materials

Besides, it mitigates the risks of low-quality translations. This, in turn, enhances the products’ appeal to target customers and drives sales growth.

Long-term benefits

The target audience of specialized translations consists of experts and business clients with extensive knowledge in their fields. These clients have strict criteria and requirements.

Beyond product quality, professionalism plays a pivotal role within B2B business models.

A refined translation of a brochure or proposal can establish a positive perception of professionalism and trustworthiness. Once native experts have been persuaded, brand recognition can spread swiftly, driving local market share growth.
