Translation into Swiss Italian

My family is originally from the Canton of Grisons: for this reason I am interested in deepening my knowledge of the distinctive features of the Italian spoken in Switzerland, and the differences between Swiss and Italian law.

I have been a member of ASTTI, the Swiss Association of Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters since 2011, and I have collaborated for twenty years with Swiss clients and agencies in a number of selected sectors:

Accident prevention (SUVA, FCOS)
Translations for the offices of the Swiss Confederation (FOEN, SFOE, FOPH, SECO)
Renewable energy and electric mobility
Electrical grids (AIS/GIS transmission and distribution, substations, inspections)
Contract law, marketing and online content for Swisscom
The pharmaceutical industry (Novartis, Roche, Drossapharm, Vifor, Swissmedic), life sciences (Melisana, Lungenliga, Krebsliga) and the medical sector (Vitodata, in-house translation of management software for medical studies based on Tarmed (the Swiss system of procedure codes), national research programmes for the Swiss National Science Foundation, …)
Legal sector (contracts, tender competitions, articles of association, position statements, claims, judgements, injunctions, interpellations and responses from the Swiss Federal Council, rulings and opinions of the Swiss Federal Council)
Financial sector (annual reports, IFRS international accounting principles, Swiss GAAP FER accounting standards, trading floors)
Technical translation and interpreting in the IT/automation/control systems sectors and for the printing industry

Over the years I have often travelled to Switzerland, both for technical interpreting at market-leading companies such as ABB at Dättwil in the Baden area, Wifag AG in Bern and Corriere del Ticino in the Canton of the same name, and to do on-site translations within complex management software, for example at the translation agency Translation-Probst AG of Winterthur.

QIPC has been working with Kristina Pisa for more than 10 years. That in itself should say enough. Kristina does not only perform our translations, but also those of our sister company EAE.

Over the years a very good relationship has developed. Kristina Pisa is a professional that carries out many commercial translations for us (technical manuals, brochures, press releases etc.). Her in-depth technical knowledge of the industry is essential. Because of this in-dept knowledge, besides Italian, she also coordinates translations to other languages with a final revision. Add her (native) writing skills, availability and good communication and Kristina Pisa is the partner you want.
