Sports Translation Services

Sport is a truly global language. The killer pass. The sweeping backhand. The unstoppable drive. Fans and participants all over the world know the meaning of every stroke, every strike, and every moment. But they won’t know the meaning of your marketing materials if they’re not translated properly. We are proud to work with sporting leaders such as the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, National Football Museum, Rugby Travel and Hospitality, Sky and Six Nations Rugby. From sponsorship contracts to sports supplement packaging, we provide winning translations that convey precise meaning in hundreds of languages. We work with subject experts who live in your target territory, offering a service that’s both expertly informed and convenient for local timescales. Sporting goods manufacturers, apparel companies, and sports service providers work in an industry that reaches every country on the planet. You can travel from London to Lhasa and see Manchester United or FC Barcelona shirts wherever you go. And you’re just as likely to find Felipe Massa fans in Australia as you are in Brazil. Whether it’s F1 or the Premiership, your communications need to sidestep the problems presented by social and cultural differences. And they need to deliver meaning clearly, cleanly, and quickly—like a defense-splitting cross-field ball from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Professional Sports Translators

Sports translation situations are often highly pressurised and ‘in the moment’, just like the games and contests to which they relate. Commentary translation, for example, happens instantly and with no room for error. Quick translation of match stats, race figures and breaking sports news also requires concentration and skill. Our skilled interpreters, transcription experts, and voice talents can help to deliver breaking stats as fast as they happen: and because they work in your timezone, there’s no need to worry about the logistics of putting interpreters in rooms with commentators.
At the press junket before a big fight, or after a famous victory, it’s equally important to present message and content in a way that retains the intention of the writer/speaker. Perhaps your player isn’t able to answer questions in the language in which they are asked, and needs interpretation. Or maybe your outgoing manager is delivering a statement that will be reported on all the major sports news channels. We can create accurate translations of such statements at source, ensuring that the club’s real message is broadcast: unequivocal, matter-of-fact, and without journalistic spin.
PR is important in all areas of the sports industry. A unified and culturally-relevant message is vital, whether you’re a team or individual whose achievements and failures are communicated to the media, or an organisation that provides the infrastructure of international competitions. And that message is not limited to the pitch, or the visible elements of league and tournament play. The corporate social responsibility commitments of kit manufacturers, the tendering process for new venue construction—every move and every word happens under intense scrutiny, leaving it open to the potential of negative interpretation.
It is the nuances that make or break PR. Are you clear, sensitive, and unambiguous? Will your communication be perfectly understood by audiences in multiple countries, with varied religious and political backgrounds? To avoid scandal, and prove due diligence in everything from risk assessing factory conditions to revealing directorial bonus structures, companies involved with big sports need the services of skilled translators.

Experts in Sports Translations

At Absolute Translations, we only work with the best. Our translators have a minimum of five years’ experience in their field, and are backed up by the latest translation memory software. And that means you get the best quality human translations, backed up by cutting-edge timesaving technology. It’s like having your own in-house translations department, intimately familiar with your language and clients. As your team works on your translation, frequent phrases and segments of text are automatically compiled in a database, which is used to avoid duplicate work in future projects.

The more translations you require, the quicker your translation memory becomes comprehensive: and the less you pay for future work. Translation memory can save you as much as 70% off the cost of future work. On the race track, timing is everything. The same is true in the boardroom. If your statement needs to reach the press immediately, or your new signing must have his contract completed before midnight, we can help. Our sports translation services are carried out locally, to fit with your deadlines. And that includes arranging meetings, production runs of print materials, and final project delivery. We manage the project from our London offices, but the work is delivered by experts in your country. And no time is too late for us. If you need us for a 4 am conference call, we’ll be there.

Specialist Sports Translators

Multinational games like football, rugby, and cricket create special translation requirements—both on the field and off. Player contracts must be translated by legal experts with proven experience in the field of sports contract law. Sponsorship arrangements and player insurance also require translation by subject specialists. Absolute Translations works with just such experts, providing accurate rendering of legal documentation and communication in more than 200 languages. We also have our own notary, and can prepare your documents for notarisation as soon as they are translated. Notarial services are available same-day.

Behind every Premier League, every F1 team, and every Green Jacket-winning golfer, there’s one common element: the training programme. True sporting greats are made, not born. For each Andy Murray or Serena Williams, there are hundreds of natural talents that remain undiscovered and unknown. Because they didn’t enrol in a youth programme or hire a coach to develop their raw potential into match-winning technique, they don’t get the chance to play in the limelight. Sports marketing translations for youth audiences are the lifeblood of international sporting discovery. Without effective advertising, aimed at the young people of your target country, the excitement factor is lacking.

Once the kids are on the field and learning their skills, it’s vital they are taught with material that is easy to understand, and inspirational. Where training materials are produced by a central governing body, such as FIFA, translations must make that material relevant to the social and cultural personality of the target country, without losing the passion that made it such a key element in discovering and nurturing new talent. Whether it’s a grassroots course designed to find players at street level, or a referee’s training course that must impart strict, detailed rules for application at all levels of the game, your learning packs need to deliver the letter of the law, and the spirit of the game. And to do that, you need a sports translations partner that understands both. You need Absolute Translations.
