Q1175. How to translate Thai IT software and cloud service agreements with a NAATI certified translator?

Answered by NAATI Certified Practitioner · NYC Visa & Translation

Thai software and cloud service agreements should be translated by a NAATI-certified Thai-to-English translator who can handle both contractual wording and technical terminology. Supply the main agreement together with relevant service-level schedules, data-processing terms, pricing tables, amendments, and statements of work. A glossary of product names, platform features, and established English terminology helps maintain consistency, but should not override the source text. Pay special attention to licence scope, intellectual property ownership, uptime commitments, data location, confidentiality, and liability exclusions. Redact sensitive credentials before sharing files, while checking whether other redactions are acceptable to the recipient. For migration evidence, confirm the relevant assessing authority’s requirements rather than assuming a translated contract proves your technical duties.
