In practice
Translating scientific content requires understanding what is being said before rendering it in another language. Cortex writes directly in French, English and Spanish: our writers know the vocabulary of the disciplines they cover and check every technical term.
We translate and adapt all science communication materials: articles, features, white papers, comics, conference materials, subtitles. For other languages, we call on our network of translators, with the same scientific review.
How we work
- Analysis of the medium, the target audience and the intended use.
- Glossary of technical terms, validated with your teams.
- Translation, then adaptation of the tone, examples and cultural references.
- Scientific review by an expert in the field.
- Final proofreading in the target language.
- Delivery in the original format: layout, speech bubbles, subtitles.
Who is involved
- Science writers in French, English and Spanish.
- A network of translators for other languages.
- Scientific experts to validate the content.
