Abstract

Financial reporting is an area with distinctive terminology characteristics. High quality translations require both language and specialist knowledge. The varieties of English complicate the choice of language: British, American or international English? The article examines the challenges translators face when choosing between these ‘Englishes’. To determine how/whether a theoretical approach and a proper translation process can result in higher quality, the article will look at translation tools and strategies, problem-solving activities and consistency in choice of terminology.
