Analysis of Translation Needs in the Blockchain Industry
In recent years, the term “blockchain” has appeared more frequently in people’s vision, and the public’s attention to Bitcoin has gradually expanded to the entire blockchain industry. In October 2019, President Xi Jinping pointed out at the 18th collective learning meeting of the Central Political Bureau that it is necessary to accelerate the development of blockchain technology and industrial innovation, and actively promote the integration of blockchain and economic and social development.
In the booming development wave of blockchain technology, TalkingChina, as a translation service provider, has deeply analyzed the needs of the blockchain industry and launched the “Blockchain Industry Translation” service product, providing multilingual native language translation services from Chinese/English to foreign languages for many blockchain technology companies. The specific characteristics of the demand for such translation are as follows:
1. Source of demand
The application of blockchain technology has extended to multiple fields such as digital finance, the Internet of Things, intelligent manufacturing, supply chain management, digital asset trading, intellectual property, etc. In the future, the scenarios involved in blockchain will be even more diverse, and more types of blockchain companies will emerge in the market.
2. Required language
Blockchain projects mostly cover global regions, among which Japan, Singapore, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Japan, Canada, Germany, France, Russia and other countries have a friendly attitude towards the application of blockchain technology, so there is a wide demand for languages, mainly in English, South Korea, Japan, Russia, France, Germany and other languages.
3. Translation Content
Mainly through white papers, technical documents, website soft articles, website announcements, contracts, publicity, etc.
4. Pain points of demand: high complexity of industry technology, language proficiency, and language style
Strong technical expertise in the industry
The blockchain industry is new, but there are few professional talents; The article is highly specialized and contains many industry terms, making it difficult for non professionals to understand;
High language proficiency required
Due to the widespread communication and development of blockchain in various countries around the world, there is a high demand for translation skills. It is best to have a native translator of English or other target languages, or at least an excellent translator from China who is proficient in the target language;
language style
Because most of the articles are closely related to market communication, there is a high demand for marketing effectiveness and language that conforms to the tone of marketing.
TalkingChina’s Response Solution
1. Establish a blockchain industry terminology database and corpus
The content of the blockchain industry is very emerging and requires high terminology. TalkingChina actively participated in the translation of white papers and documents for multiple blockchain industry companies when the blockchain industry was just emerging. In recent years, we have accumulated a large amount of blockchain industry terminology and corpus, laying the foundation for ensuring the professionalism of the translation.
2. Establish a blockchain product research group
Including market personnel, customer service personnel, and translation resources, independently researching blockchain translation technology and actively participating in blockchain industry summits, keeping up with the pace of industry development, translation volume and customer accumulation are also constantly increasing.
3. Cultivation and growth of professional translator team
Due to its strong versatility, it is necessary to actively organize learning and cultivate talents in addition to finding ready-made translators who are highly proficient in industry technology and language, which broadens the selection of translator resources. Among them, there are professionals with good language proficiency in the blockchain industry, as well as language talents who are interested in blockchain and willing to learn and research related industry knowledge, all of which are good choices.
For example, the virtual currency investment market in South Korea has always been active, and South Korea has embraced the emerging technology of blockchain in an optimistic manner. In the initial selection of Chinese and Korean translators, we first targeted native Korean translators and further narrowed down the scope. At the same time, we required translators to be familiar with blockchain technology and seamlessly cooperate in terms of time. After layers of filtering and testing selection by the project department and resource department, the Chinese Korean translator was finally determined. The same approach is also applied to the selection of translators for other languages.
Implementation effect evaluation
Since we first received an inquiry about the multilingual translation of BitcoinHD (BHD) blockchain two years ago, we have also been working with Hangzhou Physical Chain, Newton Blockchain, Amherst Blockchain Lgame、Rainbow、ZG.com、 Customers in the blockchain industry such as Coin Tiger Exchange, Weichen Blockchain, and Hangzhou Complex Beauty have successfully reached cooperation agreements.
At present, we have provided over 1 million words of translation services for blockchain clients, including various document contents such as white papers, industry interpretations, technical documents, and online announcements. In addition to Chinese, English, Korean and Japanese, there are also Chinese, Spanish, German, Turkish, Russian, Vietnamese and other languages required for documents. Since the online announcement of the website requires customers to upload to the website in a very short time, we often need to complete simultaneous translation from Chinese to English, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, German, Turkish, Russian, Vietnamese and other languages in one afternoon or one evening. The professionalism of the translated content and the language proficiency of multilingual native language translation effectively ensure the quality of the products, and effectively assist these enterprises in global layout in language localization.
