Portuguese is one of the few widely distributed languages in the world, and it is also the fifth (or sixth) largest language in the world. Portuguese is one of the most widely used languages in the world after English and Spanish. As of 2013, about 230 million people in the world use Portuguese, which is the sixth most popular language in the world, after Chinese, English, French, Spanish and Arabic. The vast majority of Portuguese users live in Brazil.

With the increasingly frequent international exchanges, especially since the implementation of the "the Belt and Road" strategic concept, the demand for Portuguese translation is also growing. However, the domestic translation market is mixed, with a large number of speculators, who compete through malicious low prices, making the whole translation industry in chaos. Today, Artlangs Translation Company will briefly share with you what Portuguese translation skills are.

The first is to explain the same thing in different ways. One expression is not understood by the other party, and Portuguese speakers will find another expression to make the other party understand. Because there is only one thing, but there may be many language symbols to express it, so we need to do more substitution exercises. The traditional Portuguese teaching method also does the substitution exercise, but this substitution is not the real substitution, but the substitution at the language level, not the thinking level. That is to say, use a different way to express the same meaning, or an expression that the other party can't hear clearly, give a simple and understandable example to express it until the other party understands.

The second is to understand how Portuguese people describe things. There will be great differences between Chinese and Western cultures. We cannot describe things in time and space. Portuguese always describes space from the inside to the outside, from the inside to the outside, while Chinese people are just the opposite. In terms of time, Chinese people are described in natural chronological order. Portuguese first describes the most important things in terms of time, and then the foil. Only tragic events can pave the way.

Finally, it is necessary to have certain guessing ability. Why does the communication between the same languages seldom produce ambiguity? It is because they can "guess". Although "guess" is not advocated in teaching, it is undeniable that guess is very important to learn Portuguese well. In communication, if you don't understand a word, you can't go to the dictionary immediately. At this time, you need to guess to build a bridge to fill the gap, or the communication will be interrupted.

As for the quotation standard of Portuguese translation services, generally speaking, the quotation standard of translation services is related to the scarcity of languages. Although Portuguese is one of the most widely used languages, there are not many translators in Portuguese in China, so the charging standard of Portuguese is a little expensive, which is not only related to the language, but also related to the difficulty of translation content and the quantity of translation content, Therefore, when selecting Portuguese translation companies, we must make a comprehensive comparison, otherwise it is easy to be deceived.
