Translating Knowledge for the Next Generation

Education is the foundation for nurturing curiosity and inspiring the next generation of scientists, researchers, and innovators. AAA Translation takes immense pride in making scientific knowledge accessible to children worldwide, ensuring that language is never a barrier to understanding.

We’ve partnered with the Life Science business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, which operates as MilliporeSigma in the United States and Canada, to provide translation of science educational materials in ten different languages. 


Our collaboration focuses on two impactful programs that fall under their Curiosity Programming: The Curiosity Cube and Curiosity Labs™. The Curiosity Cube is a solar-powered mobile science lab that travels across North America and Europe, increasing access to hands-on STEM education for students through interactive science experiences. Led by employee volunteers, the Curiosity Cube not only educates students about life science topics, but also encourages them to explore potential STEM careers.

In addition to the Curiosity Cube, the Curiosity Labs™ program offers hands-on learning experiences that deepen students’ understanding of scientific concepts. These lessons provide a dynamic environment where employee volunteers educate students through experiments designed to spark their interest in STEM. Together, these two programs create a robust educational framework that inspires young minds.


This collaboration represents a significant undertaking, requiring not only linguistic expertise but also a deep understanding of both cultural nuances and scientific terminology. Complex scientific terms and concepts must be presented correctly but simplified and culturally adapted to resonate with children in diverse regions.

Our team’s approach was to combine linguistic precision with a collaborative spirit. We focused on three key elements to bring the project to completion with the highest level of quality.


  • Specialized Expertise: Life sciences demand a high level of subject matter knowledge. Our translators are not just language experts; they are familiar with scientific terminology and possess the necessary skills to make complex concepts understandable and accessible.
  • Cultural Sensitivity: Words have different connotations in different cultures. We ensured that each translation was culturally appropriate, avoiding misunderstandings and ensuring the material would be relatable to the young audience.
  • Client-Centered Collaboration: We went the extra mile by learning a new software tool to facilitate our work with this client’s full team, ensuring seamless communication and collaboration throughout the project.


The impact of translating educational materials into multiple languages extends far beyond words. It opens doors for children worldwide to explore the wonders of science, sparking curiosity and enabling them to dream big. By ensuring these materials are accessible in their native languages, we help to create a more inclusive and educated global community.


We are excited to partner with MilliporeSigma, a company that is dedicated to life science and giving back to the communities in which its employees live and work. 


Our client’s words speak volumes about the impact of our partnership:


“Working with AAA Translation has been an amazing experience. They have expert translators and employees, who present a high level of work ethic and engagement. Susanne Evens’ leadership and her willingness to accommodate client requests, in our case learning a new software tool to be able to collaborate as a team, is something you strive for in a new translation/localization partner. Our projects are translated/localized into 10 languages which is a huge undertaking, but not a problem for AAA Translation. I am honored to work with such a professional company, and I am excited to see how we will collaborate together in the future.”
