Requests for our Indian Punjabi translation service are continuously coming in, meaning we are always keeping our Indian Punjabi linguists very busy. As well as requests for translations of various documents by our clients, we also frequently have requests for our Indian Punjabi interpreting service which has consequently prompted us to do a bit of research!

We are getting more and more requests for certified translations of documents from Arabic into English.

Japan is certainly a significant player in the world pharma market, closely following the US and China. With an aging population, there is real demand for all kinds of medicines and the Japanese market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. Major pharmaceutical companies, aware of the potential the market represents, are keen to facilitate sales of their products in Japan. The end result is that we’re receiving commissions for English to Japanese translations of material relating to existing drugs.

International companies frequently have divisions based all over the world. In order to keep their global teams updated with the latest company developments, they produce in-house corporate videos, to inform their staff of the company’s most recent successes and future areas to focus on. Since the video will be shared among international divisions, it often needs to be subtitled and captioned. That’s where Knockhundred Translations steps in.

The Netherlands is experiencing robust economic growth and the Dutch economy goes from strength to strength.

We are having an influx of requests for our Hindi Transcription services which we believe may be down to the rising population in Hindi speaking areas. Incredibly, according to a recent language census of the 1.21 billion people residing in India, there are almost 20,000 different languages or dialects which have been described as a ‘mother tongue’, with the most spoken language being Hindi which over 43% of the population can use to communicate.

As international pharma companies develop new medicines, treatments and medical devices, so we’re seeing an increasing need for accurate German medical translations. We’re receiving frequent requests from our clients for the translation of all sorts of different medical material. The source material varies dramatically. It can be pharma documentation for regulatory authorities, manuals for medical devices, package inserts for specific medicines, announcements or information regarding new pharmaceutical products or sometimes even medical marketing texts.

We are still not sure why there has been an upsurge, but we do know that usually people have their certificates or other important documents translated when they planning to move or work in another country. We can imagine there are some very good reasons to choose Lithuania...
