Our combination of financial specialisation and in-house emphasis is unrivalled in the translations business. Underpinning this approach is our guiding principle that conceptual understanding is crucial to good translations. Our exclusive focus on financial translations has allowed us to develop expertise in our field while our in-house emphasis allows us to share know-how and guarantee consistently high standards. And more importantly, this unique combination allows us to deliver the highest quality of service to our clients. With years of experience focusing exclusively on financial translations, we have gained an intimate knowledge and understanding of the issues, methodologies and thinking of the international world of finance. The synergies generated by our work in the various fields of finance — economics, equities, bonds, currencies, derivatives, corporate finance, placements, credit rating, corporate communications — have given us expertise that is unparalleled in the translations business. We consider ourselves part of the financial services industry, helping financial firms produce the highest quality publications in all the languages they require.

RGFT is a company of translators, not an agency; we do the majority of our translations in-house. The quality of RGFT’s translations stems from the fact that our in-house translators work in optimum conditions, translate financial texts every day and benefit from in-house materials and shared know-how. Having a strong in-house team means we can offer rigorous bi-lingual quality controls and the flexibility to work to tight deadlines without harming quality. Although we also use external translators, they benefit from the same support of materials and shared know-how as our in-house translators.

RGFT’s translations are supported by much more than just dictionaries. Our in-house glossaries — based on consultations with clients and other first-hand financial sources—add significant value to our translations. We keep pace with the fast-moving financial world through the international business press and on-line financial data services. Our client-specific glossaries and style sheets allow us to give clients the exact style and terminology they require. And our library of press cuttings, annual reports, financial research, reference works and internet materials provide us with vital background information. The result is carefully researched financial translations swiftly delivered to our clients.

Since we are an in-house operation our clients are free to discuss their texts (style, terminology, content, etc.) directly with our translators. On the basis of this collaboration, we are able to customise translations to clients' exact requirements. This close partnership is strengthened by each client being given the personal attention of a specific staff member.

We also have the flexibility and commitment to offer clients overnight and weekend services to help them meet their tightest deadlines. Lastly, we maintain standards of absolute confidentiality and independence when dealing with clients and their documents.
