Articles and abstracts
Research papers, journal submissions and abstracts with coherent terminology and argumentation.
Professional language services
Bring your research to another readership
Academic writing depends on precise concepts and a clear argument. We translate scholarly material with attention to disciplinary language, the structure of the reasoning and the conventions expected by the intended institution or publication.
English, French and Arabic, in every direction →Support shaped around your content
Theses and dissertations
Long-form academic work with consistent concepts, headings and references across chapters.
Institutional research content
Project descriptions, conference material and research communication for wider audiences.
Keep the argument and its qualifications intact
Disciplinary terms and the author’s position
An academic term can carry a specific meaning within a school of thought or research field. We work from the references and definitions you provide, preserving distinctions between the author’s argument, cited views and reported findings. Ambiguous concepts are raised with the author.
Evidence, citations and quotations
Statements of possibility, limitations and degrees of certainty need to survive the translation. We keep citations tied to the relevant passages and follow agreed instructions for quoted material and bibliographic titles. Translation does not verify the underlying data or establish the reliability of a source.
Publication constraints and version control
Abstract word limits, heading conventions and journal instructions should be provided at the start. Shortening a text to fit a limit can involve substantive choices, so it needs an agreed scope. For long documents, stable chapter names and versions help keep terminology and references consistent.
Preparing your project
A clear brief makes better work possible
Share the discipline, target journal or institution, style requirements and the full source. Include a terminology list and instructions for quotations, citations and bibliographies. Tell us which portions require translation and which must remain in the original language.
What to send
- The discipline, full source and target journal or institutional instructions.
- Word limits and rules for quotations, citations and bibliographies.
- Defined concepts, key references and the author who will answer queries.
From brief to delivery
- 01
Read the research context
Confirm the field, argument, intended publication and material included in the assignment.
- 02
Align key concepts
Use supplied definitions and references to establish terminology with the author.
- 03
Translate the reasoning
Preserve relationships between claims, evidence, qualifications and citations.
- 04
Prepare author review
Deliver the agreed version and separate language queries from questions requiring author judgment.
Example brief
What your project could look like
A journal submission may require a full article and a shorter abstract. The translation preserves the article’s qualifications, while any shortening of the abstract is agreed with the author rather than removing limitations merely to meet a word count.
What you receive
- The translated manuscript, abstract or agreed sections in the requested format.
- Terminology and author queries where clarification is needed.
Scope boundaries
Translation does not include peer review, research verification, authorship decisions or a guarantee of publication.
Your questions, answered
Will references and citations be preserved?
We follow the agreed citation requirements and flag unclear references. Bibliographic titles and quoted passages are handled according to your instructions and the publication conventions.
Can you guarantee journal acceptance?
No. We support language quality and clarity; editorial decisions, research validity and publication requirements are determined by the journal or institution.
Can you translate only selected chapters?
Yes. Identify the exact sections and provide enough surrounding material to establish terminology and context. Tell us whether tables, captions, notes and references are included in the selected scope.
How do I get a price and timeline?
Describe the project, languages, volume and preferred deadline in the quote form and attach your document. Without a document, use Get in touch or email translations@idiomly.ca. We respond within one business day and confirm pricing and timing after reviewing the material.
