What Is Academic Translation?
Academic translation is a very wide subject. Simply put, every document that you might need in a university or in another academic context is within the scope of academic translation—be it academic papers, academic transcripts, academic certificates, BA dissertations, or textbooks. Academic texts usually deal with complex topics and are written for academics who are experts in their fields, not for laypeople. So, just choosing a translator who has a good command of both source and target languages is not enough for academic translation. You would need a professional academic translator who is familiar with the academic writing style, field-specific terminology, and relevant topics.
Why Do You Need Professional Academic Translation?
Researchers looking to publish articles in an international journal, university professors trying to create a good curriculum, students planning to apply to international universities, or pretty much anyone in the academic world needs to access research articles written in a language other than their own, and that’s where professional academic translation comes in. Here are some of the reasons you might need academic translation and why it would be to your advantage to have the translations done professionally:
Gain Access To The International Academic Community
Only having access to academic work that is published in one’s native language is incredibly limiting, both for researchers and students. Drawing from different bodies of knowledge is key to creating a good university syllabus or planning an extensive study. For researchers and aspiring doctoral students, translating transcripts and academic work is usually the first step in getting accepted into a renowned academic institution.
Read Academic Papers Written In English
Let’s face it: There are wonderful researchers in every part of the world, but the majority of their work is either originally written in English or translated into English to be published in important academic journals. As a result, common academic tasks such as college applications, course planning, or literature reviews usually start with academic translation from English. If you want to stay up to date with the recent developments in your field, regularly working with an academic translator is a must.

If you are looking for further information, you can learn more about the differences between certified translation, notarization, apostille, and sworn translation on the MotaWord blog.
How to choose the right academic translation agency
The wide scope of academic translation makes choosing the right academic translator or translation service a little tricky. After all, a professional academic translator who usually works on texts related to the humanities and social sciences is not likely to have enough relevant experience to translate medical journals. A good academic translation agency should be able to match your project with professional translators who are experienced in your particular field, and matching academic translation projects with the right professionals is what MotaWord excels at.
