Prepare a research translation enquiry
Academic content can include specialized terminology, abbreviations, references, tables, and field-specific conventions. Explain the context and identify any terminology or style guidance you want considered. The current approved record does not establish a catalogue of accepted materials, disciplines, or service-specific language pairs, so provide those details for assessment rather than assuming coverage.
Include:
Translation is not research or editorial validation
Translation conveys the source content in another language. It does not validate data, methods, citations, authorship, ethics, originality, or conclusions; it is not peer review or a guarantee of publication. Editing, proofreading, formatting, journal submission support, and subject-matter review should not be assumed to be included unless explicitly confirmed for the project.
If a journal, university, publisher, or funder has requirements, consult its current official instructions. The recipient decides whether a submission meets those requirements.
Request an assessment
Send a non-sensitive project brief and, where appropriate, a sample. Do not include unpublished research data, personal information, or confidential materials until the file-sharing and handling arrangements are clear.

Prepare references and academic conventions
Provide the current manuscript or record which version controls, and identify any journal, university, funder, or publisher instructions that apply. Include the relevant style guide, terminology list, and reference format if the recipient specifies them. Keep citations, equations, tables, figure labels, appendices, and acknowledgements attached to the passages they support. If a source is incomplete, flag the gap rather than reconstructing a reference or result from context.
| Material to identify | Useful instruction for the request |
|---|---|
| Manuscript version | File name, date, and whether tracked changes are authoritative |
| Field and audience | Discipline, specialist reader, or general audience |
| Citations and data | Required treatment of references, tables, units, and figure labels |
| Editorial scope | Translation only, or separately requested editing/formatting |
| Recipient rules | Official current instructions and submission deadline |
Check translated names, abbreviations, units, captions, and cross-references against the final source. Translation does not reproduce peer review, fact-check the research, or certify ethical or methodological soundness. If the project also needs editing, proofreading, reference conversion, or a submission-ready layout, list each as a separate requested deliverable and wait for written scope confirmation.
Prepare academic material for a faithful translation
Provide the complete text together with its title, author names as they should appear, affiliations, abstract, keywords, tables, figures, captions, appendices, and references that are included in scope. Identify the intended reader and whether the translation is for study, internal review, publication submission, a conference, or an administrative process. These details help resolve abbreviations and distinguish a technical term from a general-language word.
If the work uses a discipline-specific style guide, journal instructions, or institutional terminology, include the relevant pages. State whether the reference list, in-text citations, equations, units, and figure labels should be retained in the original form or adapted to a supplied convention. A translator should not add sources, alter a citation, recalculate a result, or rewrite a research conclusion.
| Element | Review point |
|---|---|
| Names and affiliations | Match the spelling and order supplied by the author or institution |
| Abstract and keywords | Preserve the study scope and avoid adding claims absent from the source |
| Tables and figures | Keep labels, notes, units, and references attached to the correct item |
| Citations | Preserve author names, dates, identifiers, and the relationship to the cited work |
| Equations and data | Reproduce the provided expression and flag a suspected source error |
Keep language work distinct from scholarly evaluation
Translation can make a research text accessible in another language; it does not establish that the study design is sound, the data are valid, the results are reproducible, or the conclusions are supported. It also does not provide peer review, editing for research integrity, statistical analysis, or permission to reproduce third-party material. Those questions remain with the author, institution, publisher, and relevant specialists.
When an ambiguous sentence could change the stated method, population, measurement, or conclusion, the translator should flag the exact passage and request clarification instead of selecting a scientifically consequential interpretation without context. The author can provide a definition, source-language revision, or approved terminology. Keep a record of the chosen term when the same concept appears across the abstract, main text, table, and figure.
Before delivery, review document completeness and cross-references: every table mentioned in the text should correspond to the supplied table, and labels such as “Figure 2” should point to the right item. Check decimal notation, units, symbols, superscripts, and subscripts against the source. If the project is intended for publication, the author should verify the publisher’s current language, formatting, disclosure, and submission rules directly.
Keep the final files aligned across formats
If the project includes a translated manuscript and a separate abstract, poster, or presentation, identify which version is authoritative and whether terminology must match across them. Record requested changes in one place and distinguish language edits from author revisions to the underlying research. When a figure is updated, supply the revised caption and source file together so the translation can be checked against the same version. Before submission, the author should review the final translated file in its actual layout and confirm that all equations, references, and labels remain readable.
