UCITS and PRIIPs Documents We Translate

We translate the full suite of documents required for retail‑investor disclosure under UCITS and PRIIPs.

  • Key Investor Information Documents (KIIDs)
  • Key Information Documents (KIDs)
  • PRIIPs disclosure documents
  • Cost disclosures and breakdowns
  • Product descriptions and investment strategies
  • Marketing and distribution‑aligned materials where needed

Terminology Management and Translation Memory

We manage both annual updates and fund‑ or client‑specific differences by combining approved terminology, translation memory and client style preferences. This ensures consistent language where it should remain stable, while still reflecting the unique content of each fund and client.

Our approach includes:

  • Translation memory to support annual updates to recurring sections
  • Client‑specific terminology and style rules
  • Alignment across product suites, share classes and jurisdictions
  • Controlled terminology to maintain consistent language across documents

Formatting for KIID and KID Templates

We translate directly into your required KIID and KID templates and maintain the exact structure and layout used across your documents. We work with all common formats, including Word, Excel, PDF and InDesign.

Our formatting support includes:

  • Consistent layout across Word, Excel, PDF and InDesign templates
  • Accurate table formatting, spacing and field alignment
  • Keeps formatting intact even when translated text expands or contracts
  • Character‑limit and field‑length awareness for narrative sections
  • Preservation of styles, headings and template‑specific formatting rules

Language Coverage Across All Major Financial Markets

We translate into all major European, Asian, and Middle Eastern languages, including:

Case Study

Chinese Translation of Janus Capital Funds KIID Pack

Chinese Translation of Janus Capital Funds KIID Pack

We translated a full suite of Janus Capital Funds KIIDs into Simplified Chinese, covering multiple funds and share classes including the Janus US Short‑Term Bond Fund, Janus Global Adaptive Multi‑Asset Fund, Janus Absolute Return Income Fund, and the INTECH US Core Fund. The documents contained structured regulatory content such as the 1–7 risk‑rating scale, fee tables, and detailed risk factors, all of which required precise terminology and consistent formatting.

Using a financial‑specialist workflow, we standardised key terms (“investment grade”, “high‑yield bonds”, “ongoing charge”, “financial derivative instruments (FDI)”) and aligned risk descriptions with Mainland Chinese regulatory expectations. Fee tables and performance chart labels were rebuilt in Chinese while preserving the original numerical data. The final deliverables were a publication‑ready set of Chinese KIIDs with harmonised terminology across all nine documents and share classes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What experience do you have with KIID, KID and PRIIPs translations? arrow
We work exclusively in financial translation, and KIIDs, KIDs and PRIIPs disclosures form a core part of our workload each year. We translate these documents for asset managers, fund administrators, insurers, structured product issuers and third party KID production vendors.
How do you handle partial updates? arrow
Partial updates are treated as amendments rather than new translations. We begin by comparing the new version with the previous one to identify exactly what has changed—typically performance data, charges, dates, or small wording adjustments. Once the changes are isolated, we apply them directly to the existing translated version so that only the updated sections are retranslated.
How do you ensure terminology accuracy? arrow
We work with any glossaries, style guides or sample documents you already use, and if none exist, we build a terminology list based on your current disclosures. Throughout the project, we run systematic checks across product names, share classes, risk descriptions and recurring labels to ensure the terminology remains consistent across all documents and update cycles.
Do you use tools to keep wording consistent each year? arrow
Yes. We use translation memory to store previously approved wording so that recurring sections remain identical from year to year unless the source changes. We also maintain terminology databases to enforce consistent use of key terms across all languages and product ranges.
What are your prices and turnaround times? arrow
Our pricing depends on the language pair, the number of documents, and the proportion of new versus repeated content. Initial translations are usually priced per word or per document, while annual updates often benefit from lower pricing because much of the content is reused through translation memory. Our turnaround times vary with volume, but a single KIID or KID in one language is typically delivered within one to two working days.
