The Subject Areas We Cover
At Amper Translation Service we translate and edit
texts concerned with a wide range of disciplines. In
general, these fall into one of six categories:
If you click on a particular category, the subject
areas related to it will appear. (These are just the
most frequent ones we get.)
Please bear in mind that the categories overlap to
a certain extent; marketing texts, for example, can
describe the merits of technical devices, while legal
documents like contracts can regulate sales
matters.
Take a look at all of the categories to get an idea
of our overall scope.
Our main subject areas are marked

Software localisation
Besides conventional types of texts that are
generally intended for printing or for internal use, we
also translate user interfaces and
text strings that appear in software
applications and devices such as modern
telephones.
This is known as "localisation", which implies
adaptation to the needs of users in a specific country
or region, and not just straightforward translation.
Software localisation often entails the expert use of
special translation tools.
Ask us for a quotation
for the localisation of your company's software
application and we'll make you a special, customised
offer.
