A contract, a medical report, a set of financial statements or technical documentation forgives no approximate wording: anyone having specialist texts translated needs translators who master the subject area – not just the language. That is exactly what UniTranslate stands for: specialised translations in more than 100 languages, produced by specialised professionals, with a binding quote within 30 minutes.

Expertise you can see in the text
Every industry has its own language. A “place of performance” is not a “place of delivery”, a “finding” is not a “diagnosis”, and anyone who confuses “provisions” with “reserves” in an annual report produces a false picture of the figures. Our specialist translators work exclusively in subject areas they master – as a rule into their native language. Thanks to our collaboration with associations, institutions and language institutes, we always work with the current terminology of the industry in question.
Consistency across years and languages
For business clients with ongoing translation needs, we maintain client-specific glossaries and translation memories. This ensures that your technical terms, product names and phrasings remain consistent across all documents, departments and languages – and that recurring passages are not translated and charged anew every time. More than 250 Swiss companies, including SMI and Fortune 500 firms, work with us on an ongoing basis.
Typical texts by specialist field
- Legal: Contracts, judgments, terms and conditions, powers of attorney, statements of claim
- Medicine: Medical reports, findings, study documents, patient information
- Technology: Manuals, data sheets, safety documentation, product documentation
- Finance: Financial statements, annual reports, audit reports, compliance documents
Is your text type not listed? Just ask – we assess every enquiry individually and tell you openly whether we have the right specialist.
For companies with ongoing translation needs
Legal departments, export firms, pharma and medtech companies, banks, law firms, universities and public bodies work with us on a day-to-day basis: dedicated points of contact, client-specific glossaries and a translation memory that recognises recurring passages – so costs and delivery times fall with every order. For framework clients, we are happy to agree individual terms and workflows, from the ordering process to invoicing.
Specialised translation, MTPE or proofreading?
Not every text needs the full specialised translation. Low-risk internal documents can often be handled more economically via MTPE (post-editing of machine translation); proofreading brings already translated texts up to publication standard. For contracts, reports and anything that matters legally or commercially, specialised translation by a human remains the standard. We advise you honestly on which route fits your text and budget.
Confidentiality as a basic principle
Specialist texts are almost always confidential: contracts before signing, financial figures before publication, patient records in any case. Your files are transferred in encrypted form and used exclusively for the translation; on request, we sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). As a Swiss company based in Küsnacht ZH, we are subject to Swiss data protection law.
The process is this simple
Upload your document via the quote form – you will receive a binding quote with a fixed price and delivery date within 30 minutes during office hours. Once you confirm, the right specialist translator takes over, followed by quality control. Delivery is on schedule by email, certified by post on request – with express delivery also in 12 to 24 hours. You can add proofreading by an industry expert at any time.
FAQ
What distinguishes a specialised translation from a normal translation?＋
In a specialised translation, the translator knows the subject area – such as law, medicine or finance – and uses the industry's binding terminology correctly. That prevents errors that can become expensive in specialist texts.
Who translates my specialist text?＋
Qualified specialist translators, as a rule native speakers of the target language with a specialisation in your field. On request, proofreading by a subject-matter expert – such as an engineer, physician or pharmacist – completes the quality control.
Can specialised translations also be certified?＋
Yes. On request, we deliver contracts, judgments, reports and other documents as a certified translation with stamp and signature; depending on the receiving authority, also with notarisation or an apostille.
How quickly do I receive my specialised translation?＋
You receive a binding quote with a delivery date within 30 minutes during office hours. With express delivery, even extensive documents are possible in 12 to 24 hours.
How do you ensure consistent terminology?＋
For business clients we maintain glossaries and translation memories, so that technical terms remain consistent across all documents and languages – from the first contract to the annual report.
Do you work according to ISO 17100?＋
We do not hold an ISO certificate. We ensure quality through qualified specialist translators who work into their native language, a four-eyes principle on request, well-maintained glossaries and translation memories, and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). More than 6000 satisfied clients, including SMI and Fortune 500 companies, trust this process.
