Since 1990, we've accumulated supplier expertise covering most of the planet. To help us differentiate this and best fit our translators to projects we need to know what you're good at translating.
This table lists the codes we use, for you to add to your Supplier Questionnaire (from where you'll have reached this page). If the sectors seem a little unusual, rest assured there are good reasons for them. Please take the time to look through carefully and identify all those that match your expertise, and add these to your Supplier Questionnaire form so we can see what you like translating!
A word of caution; don't blag. We carefully review translation, especially from new suppliers, so please don't - for example - claim "Nuclear energy" as a specialism unless it REALLY is. We usually instantly de-activate suppliers we find have been dishonest because if we can't trust their claims, how can we trust their translation?
