Feasibility Study Translation: A Technical Document That Demands Precision, Context, and Global Readiness
— By Airui Translation
In large-scale infrastructure, outbound investment, public-private partnerships, international bidding, and governmental approvals, feasibility studies are critical documents. When such projects involve foreign stakeholders or cross-border submission, translating the feasibility study report into another language — often English — becomes a high-stakes task.
At Airui Translation, we’ve handled a wide range of such projects, and our conclusion is clear:
A translated feasibility study must read like a professional business proposal — not just a document that’s been turned into English.
What Is a Feasibility Study Report?
A feasibility study report is a comprehensive analysis that determines whether a project is viable from technical, legal, economic, environmental, and operational standpoints. Typical sections include:
Project overview and background
Market demand and competition analysis
Technical proposal and solution comparisons
Investment estimates and return analysis
Legal, regulatory, and environmental compliance
Risk assessment and mitigation measures
Implementation plan and schedule
Once a project goes international — whether for overseas investment, financing, or collaboration — these reports often need to be translated into English (or other foreign languages). The key is not just translating words, but conveying the project’s logic and credibility to international readers.
Why Is Feasibility Study Translation So Complex?
1. Dense Terminology + Cross-Disciplinary Knowledge
Feasibility reports involve engineering, finance, environmental science, policy, and law — all in one document. Translators must understand these concepts and their usage in context.
2. Long Documents with Deep Hierarchical Structure
These reports often span tens of thousands of words, with numbered sections, tables, appendices, and strict formatting. The translated version must fully mirror the original layout and structure.
3. Data Accuracy and Formatting Matter
Tables, figures, cost models, and calculations must be preserved accurately. A misinterpreted number can undermine the entire proposal.
4. Professional Tone and Formal Business Logic
Unlike marketing or casual documents, feasibility studies must maintain a formal, analytical, and coherent narrativein the target language.
How a Professional Translation Provider Handles Feasibility Reports
At Airui Translation, we follow a multi-step, team-based process:
✅ 1. Domain-Specific Linguists + Project Coordination
We assign technical, financial, and policy-experienced translators to work under the guidance of a project manager, ensuring consistency across content areas.
✅ 2. Terminology Extraction + Client Review
Before starting, we build a glossary of key terms (e.g., “IRR,” “NPV,” “capital recovery period”) and validate these with the client for consistency.
✅ 3. Table & Visual Formatting
We don’t just translate — we also rebuild complex tables, diagrams, and charts in bilingual format to match submission requirements.
✅ 4. Multi-Language Output + Submission Formatting
We support English, French, Russian, Arabic, and other UN official languages, and can format documents per the standards of the World Bank, AIIB, or local authorities.
