Terminology is where language work fails first.
Grammar is rarely the problem. The problem is the word that means one thing in general use and something legally specific in your sector — and the interpreter or translator who does not know the difference. Assignments here are matched by subject matter, not only by language.
The principle
Matched by subject, not only by language
STIB works across six sectors where the vocabulary is technical, regulated, or both, and where a loose rendering has consequences beyond style: a filing returned, a specification disputed, a safety instruction softened.
Matching is practical rather than decorative. It means the interpreter in your board meeting has sat in that kind of meeting before, and the translator handling your dossier knows that a defined term must repeat rather than be varied for elegance.

How it works in practice
What sector matching actually buys you
One glossary, every deliverable
Defined terms are extracted once and reused across documents and live sessions, so the contract, the data-room answer and the interpreter in the room all say the same thing.
Preparation before the day
Decks, filings and internal terminology are studied in advance under NDA. Sector experience plus preparation is what produces a fluent session; either one alone does not.
Named linguists under NDA
Confidential material is handled by the people assigned to the project, not circulated through a rotating pool.
Straight answers
Questions about sector work
Why does sector experience matter in interpreting and translation?
Because terminology is where most language work fails, not grammar. A regulatory inspection and a licensing negotiation are different vocabularies before they are different languages, and an interpreter who has worked the sector already knows which word carries a defined meaning and which is descriptive.
How does STIB match a linguist to a sector?
Assignments are matched by language pair and by prior experience in the sector, from a network of more than 80 certified interpreters covering over 40 languages. Preparation material — decks, contracts, glossaries — is studied before the day, which is what turns sector familiarity into accuracy on the assignment.
What if our field is not one of the six listed?
The six sectors below are where the work concentrates, not a limit. Tell us the subject matter and we will say honestly whether we can match a linguist with real experience in it, or whether you would be better served elsewhere.
Can the same terminology be used for both documents and live sessions?
Yes, and it is the main argument for keeping translation and interpreting with one provider. A glossary built from your documents is used by the interpreters in the room, so a defined term in the contract is not rendered three different ways in the discussion.
Tell us what is on the table.
The documents, the meeting, the dates and the languages. You get a scoped proposal from the team that will run the assignment.
