The research element of the AWE project in the UK is being overseen by the University of Portsmouth. This is where Surrey Translation Bureau (STB) came in.
Translation of research reports
The university team working on this project approached STB in early 2020 to discuss having their research findings translated. However, because of the uncertainties posed by the pandemic, the publication was pushed back.
Since 2021, STB has translated two reports from English into French. They highlight findings from research about gender bias in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, especially against disadvantaged female entrepreneurs.
Given the importance of the findings for women in business in the UK and across the Channel, it was imperative that the translations were accurate and conveyed the message clearly. With this in mind, we suggested to the client that the translations should also be revised. The client was receptive to the idea and went ahead with translation and revision. Having a second native French linguist go through the translated text ensured it was fit for publication.
Collaborating in the future
We are really proud to be involved with this pioneering project and hope to continue the partnership until the end of the project in 2023. We also look forward to working on further research projects with the University of Portsmouth in the future.
