Document Processing & Archive Management

Translation

Translate exhibition texts, collection descriptions and archive documents while preserving art-historical context and specialist terminology. This makes content more accessible for international research, collaboration and public access.

Translation

In museums, archives and heritage organisations, language is more than a practical tool. In exhibition texts, collection information and archive documents, language also carries meaning, context and specialist knowledge. Translation in this sector therefore requires more than a correct conversion of words. With Translation, we help convert texts carefully into another language, with attention to substantive precision and terminological consistency. Art-historical context, specialist vocabulary and institutional meaning are preserved while documents and public information become accessible for broader and more international use.

We help translate a wide range of texts, such as exhibition texts, collection descriptions, conservation reports and archive documents. Readability is important, but so is preserving context, tone and specialist terminology.

For public-facing texts, translations remain clear and accessible without losing nuance. For collection information and archive documents, the emphasis is on preserving historical meaning and document context. This supports international collaboration, research, multilingual presentation and broader digital access.

Control and quality

AI does the preparatory work. Results remain reviewable and are configured around your sources, fields, terminology and quality criteria. Where relevant, the source or passage remains traceable. Your organisation decides what is adjusted, approved and ultimately used.

A concrete first step

We prefer to start with a clearly defined test set. Together we agree the required output, quality criteria and review flow. This shows what works before you scale up.
