Why it matters

Multilingual communication for leading experts and laypeople

Environmental content often needs to work for very different readers. A technical report may be destined for scientists, while a sustainability awareness campaign needs to make the same subject understandable without losing key details.

Planet Languages assembles specialist language teams with relevant environmental experience and manages the process across every market. We help you keep terminology and key messages aligned right through to the final translated content.

What we translate

Specialist translation for environmental organisations

The environment encompasses a broad range of disciplines, so your written material is likely to be just as varied.

Environmental impact assessments

Detailed findings on climate, sustainability, renewable and green energy translated with close attention to technical and legal terminology.

ESG and CSR sustainability reports

Disclosures, reports and communications translated for international investors, employees, customers and communities.

Technical specifications and patent applications

Technical, commercial and training content for products, projects and services translated with precision for cross-border innovation.

Environmental awareness campaigns

Engaging web, print and audiovisual content for non-specialist audiences.

Policies and company mission statements

Core corporate messaging adapted for a global, sustainability-conscious audience.

People and Planet

A responsible approach, and the right language for each audience

We start by understanding who will read the content and what they need to do with it. This determines which language experts work on your content and the level of review required. Our project managers coordinate subject questions, terminology decisions and feedback across stakeholders.

Terminology resources help keep recurring environmental and technical terms consistent. They do not replace expert judgement: our team of specialist translators still need to assess how terms appear in context and make sure that the translated content is suitable for the target audience.

As AI becomes firmly embedded in many businesses, its environmental cost becomes harder to ignore. We only use generative AI where specifically requested by our clients and advocate for less resource-intensive alternatives.
