In fact, at least 60% of all known infectious human diseases, and 75% of emerging human diseases originate in animals.

Veterinary surgeons may work in clinical practice, research organisations, universities, industry, or government institutions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1719\" data-end=\"2040\">The second important audience is pet owners. This is a non-specialised and highly diverse group that includes anyone who owns a cat, dog, or other pet. Many types of documents are written for this audience, such as diagnostic test leaflets, disease information websites, pet food guides, and emerging disease information.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2042\" data-end=\"2171\">These texts share a common challenge. The terminology and tone must be clear, simple, and easy for non-specialists to understand.<\/p>\n<p>Veterinary translation requires much more than choosing the right words in the target language. Translators must consider the target audience, the context, market trends, and the regulatory framework affecting the sector.
