Whether dissertations, habilitations, or complex academic papers—when translating your research, scientific precision is paramount. Our translators are not only linguistically adept but also experienced in your specific academic field.
If you already have a dedicated glossary, we will integrate it into the translation of your dissertation, PhD thesis, or habilitation to ensure terminological accuracy and a consistent translation.
Academic Excellence in Any Language
Translating dissertations and habilitation manuscripts is uniquely challenging, as it demands not only linguistic precision but also deep subject matter expertise. Dialecta’s international network of highly specialized translators excels in a variety of academic disciplines.
One of the most common challenges in doctoral translation is the proper rendering of specialized terminology that may lack direct equivalents in the target language. Our experienced team meets these hurdles with an interdisciplinary approach: using custom glossaries developed in collaboration with researchers, along with modern translation technologies such as translation memories and AI, to maintain consistent terminology even across complex projects.
A central aspect of translating habilitations and postdoc theses is the dominant role English plays as the lingua franca of academia. Many researchers whose first language is not English attempt a self-translation of their work. Dialecta recognizes this challenge and, where needed, provides specialized reviewers who are fluent in both English and the source language, familiar with the specific nuances and conventions critical in academic publications. Still, we recommend a “translation from scratch” approach for better coherence—and the cost difference compared to a specialist edit is minimal.
