The demand for military translation and translation related to the armed forces, military aviation, the navy or battlefield medicine has been growing steadily in recent years. Military translation includes:
- All kinds of documents for the NATO, the European Union and other institutions working in the field of international relations in accordance with the applicable standards, including documents required by law.
- Technical documentation of equipment, machinery, devices and vehicles for the military and the defence industry.
- Presentations, catalogues and other marketing materials for companies providing services in the military sector.
- Official statements of military representatives regarding not only conflicts, but also natural disasters, crises and other issues affecting state security and applicable law.
- Descriptions of ongoing military operations.
- Military medicine.
In addition to translating equipment manuals, official correspondence, documents, contracts, presentations and more, we also provide services in the scope of military interpretation, which is useful during:
- international conferences and meetings,
- international training courses and webinars,
- experience exchange visits,
- presentations of military equipment, machinery and vehicles,
- trade fairs and other professional meetings.
We provide military translation and interpretation services in various languages, depending on the countries and companies involved. Skrivanek works with translators from more than 100 languages, choosing providers for military assignments with the utmost care, according to the nature of the meeting for which the interpretation is required.

An experienced military translator is essential
Anyone working as a military translator must have the experience and background necessary to deliver translations that are correct in both technical and substantive terms. The military services often order translations of detailed technical documents, which means that experience in translating these types of texts is essential.
Skrivanek has experience in military translations for shipyards, military aviation and military engineering.
During an online meeting, we can show you how our agency handles confidential projects as well as providing you with references.
Medicine is just one crucial field in military translation. The role of a military officer and work under military conditions require quite a different approach than civilian healthcare. For many years now, we have supported this important field of medicine by providing translation services to the “Lekarz Wojskowy” quarterly, published by the Military Medical Institute.
The role of an interpreter during military actions
Translating what representatives of two (or more) sides in a conflict say is perhaps the greatest challenge that an interpreter has to face. The role of an interpreter is crucial during negotiations or arrangements between the parties, but interpreters also support other types of meetings and conversations, typically business or training-related ones (e.g. tenders or training courses in the use of international military equipment).
In military interpreting, a well-prepared interpreter plays a crucial role. Translators or interpreters working in the midst of a conflict need to be familiar with all the key locations, dates, acronyms and names of the people involved and other languages, which they use while doing their job.
It goes without saying that poor quality translation or interpretation can result in a diplomatic error. This is why a professional translator or interpreter spends a considerable amount of time studying all the available source material, such as maps and other documents, in order to understand the various aspects of the conflict before starting their work.

Military translation and interpretation often requires working in a secret office environment.
