Translation into the Filipino language
Filipino is becoming more and more common in translation requests. And this is quite logical, because businesses enter new markets, people move abroad, and documents, contracts, websites — all this requires accurate and careful translation.
This language has its own character. The logic of constructing sentences that we are used to does not work here, and changing tone or emphasis sometimes changes the whole meaning. To prevent the text from looking artificial, you should entrust translation from/into Filipino to experts.
MK:translations employs highly-qualified translators who can work with more than 80 other languages and have thousands of successful cases in their portfolio.
Features of the Filipino language
It is not jiust ‘another Asian language’, and, despite erroneous judgment, not “simplified English.” Filipino combines Spanish borrowings, Tagalog grammar, and English influences. There’s no way an inexperienced translator can survive in this mix. Translating into Filipino often becomes a challenge because:
- Sentences are built according to a different logic: first the verb, then everything else
- Many words have several meanings, depending on the emphasis
- Formal language and everyday language almost do not intersect, therefore it is important to distinguish between them
- Official documents require accurate reproduction of cultural norms and addresses.
That is why it is better to order a translation from/into Filipino from those who are familiar with language practice, and not only with theory.
Filipino translation
Translating from Russian to Filipino is not easy due to structural differences. Russian has more grammatical cases, while Filipino does not have such a category at all. Everything that is conveyed using the forms of cases is realized in Filipino through individual particles or the word order. One mistake, and the sentence becomes incorrect or misleading. Therefore, it is worth considering:
- Lack of direct equivalents between parts of speech
- Another way of expressing time and action
- No literal translation for official concepts
Translation from Ukrainian to Filipino has its own nuances. For example, the word ‘cozy’ (затишний) translates as “aliwalas”, but it is more about the open space than the atmosphere. The main challenges are:
- You need to completely change the order in the sentence
- Often you have to describe emotions, and not just translate a word
- It is difficult to maintain a tone, either formal or emotional.
In all these cases, a correct and quality translation will only be possible if the cultural context is taken into account.
