Energy Translation

CETCO Oilfield Services Company: "We used McElroy Translation for a rush energy translation job that not only involved translating four brochures into Spanish, they also had to import the content into the brochure files and reformat them. We gave them less than two weeks’ notice to perform the job. They were extremely cooperative, and thanks to them, we were not only able to meet our pressing deadline, but we were a day early! I would recommend them to anyone needing energy translation services."

As one of the leading providers of translations for the oil and gas industry, McElroy has resources around the globe including in Brazil, Russia, China, and the Middle East who specialize in the translation of exploration, drilling, and production materials, as well as pipeline, instrumentation, construction, equipment engineering, and refining technologies. Additionally, McElroy translation has provided translations for financial, contractual, and legal documentation as well as human resources and health, safety, and environmental protection guidelines to leading oil and gas companies.

CERTIFIED TRANSLATIONS
McElroy Translation’s certifications are notarized documents signed by an authorized agent of McElroy Translation which indicate that the translation has been professionally and competently translated. Our certifications are accepted by the U.S. PTO, the FDA, and other U.S. and international regulatory agencies.

IN-COUNTY REVIEW
We strongly recommend in-country reviews on the client side, when schedules and resources allow it. Although referred to as “in-country,” these are often performed by a colleague who speaks the target language and is familiar with the terminology choices, often regarding proprietary products and processes, in use in that language within the company.

Reviewing such preferences allows us to incorporate them into our translation memory database, so that continuous upgrades in customizing output can be achieved. Please see additional information on this process in our data sheet “In-Country Review Tips.”

WEBSITE TRANSLATION
McElroy Translation works with your product, marketing, and corporate teams to develop a multilingual website that is linguistically and visually appropriate for your target audiences. The final product will be culturally appropriate to the target market while reinforcing your carefully crafted branding. Updates can be managed centrally while still allowing local input.
