Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can Geo Language Services help with ESIA translations?
Yes. Environmental and Social Impact Assessments are a regular workload. We translate the full document set: scoping reports, baseline studies, impact assessments, mitigation and management plans, stakeholder engagement materials, non-technical summaries, and disclosure documents required under IFC Performance Standards, Equator Principles, World Bank ESF and host-country regulations.
-
Are Geo Language Services' environmental translations regulatory compliant?
Yes. Workflows are ISO 9001 and ISO 17100-certified, and linguists are selected for their familiarity with the applicable regulatory framework — EU CSRD and ESRS, UK SRS, IFC Performance Standards, Equator Principles, host-country EIA regulations, sector-specific guidance (oil & gas, mining, infrastructure). Terminology is managed against approved regulatory vocabulary.
-
How can AI be used in an environmental translation workflow?
Selectively. Long-form environmental documents — ESIA chapters, monitoring reports, technical appendices — often contain a mix of repetitive technical content (well suited to AI-aided workflows) and high-stakes stakeholder-facing content (better handled with full human translation). We assess each section and recommend the right approach, so AI is used where it adds value without compromising the parts that matter most.
-
Can Geo Language Services' environmental translations stay aligned with our sustainability goals?
Yes. Approved environmental and sustainability terminology — your KPIs, targets, framework references, reporting language — is held in client-specific termbases and applied consistently across translations. Where you report against multiple frameworks (GRI, TNFD, CSRD/ESRS, ISSB, TCFD), terminology is mapped so the same underlying concept reads consistently across all of them.
-
How does Geo Language Services ensure the correct nuance of public messaging in environmental translations?
Through linguist selection and review. Stakeholder-facing environmental content — community consultation materials, NGO communications, public disclosures — needs linguists who understand both the technical content and the local public discourse, and who can adapt register without losing accuracy. We add cultural review where the content is sensitive (resettlement, indigenous communities, contested projects). If your team has in-house linguists, we can also amend based on their comments if they wish to review.
