Technical Translation Services

What is technical translation?

It could be a user guide. An operating manual. A product specification. Or a medical journal. Some translations require advanced sector-specific technical knowledge if you want the best results.

Because a translator can be the best linguist in the world, but if they don’t understand the terminology in the document they are translating, the result will never be as good as you need it to be.

That’s where our technical translators come in. Our technical translations will often include industry-specific or client-specific terminology and vocabulary.

To ensure you always get a translation of the highest professional standard, we work with linguists who are also industry experts. These are qualified translators who can demonstrate specialist knowledge in your chosen field. Because it also happens to be theirs.

Working with your terminology

We will integrate these into our workflow for your projects if you have existing translations or glossaries of terms. This guarantees that the translations you receive from us say exactly what you need them to. It also ensures they remain consistent with your other translated materials.

If you don’t have glossaries or termbases, we can help you create them. Our expert translators stay on top of new developments within their specialist fields.

So you can be sure that our technical translations will always be fully informed and up-to-date.

Our technical translation clients

Technical translation necessitates meticulous attention to detail for accuracy and completeness

Accuracy is paramount when it comes to the technical translations we produce for our international clients. We use extra caution and never leave anything up to chance when dealing with such projects. Linguistic slip-ups in an operating manual or a set of safety specifications can have devastating outcomes, so we don’t take any risks with these critical documents.

Our translator recruitment, vetting process, and quality management systems meet or exceed the requirements of the ISO 17100 international translation standard and the ISO 9001 international quality standard. Quality and accuracy are at the heart of everything we do.

Meeting your format and quality demands

Whatever format your document is in, we can send you back a publication-ready translation in the same format. Working with our multilingual DTP specialists, we can handle almost any form, including InDesign, Illustrator, PDF, Publisher, and CSV.

Our dedicated linguists’ translations are monitored on a project-by-project basis. We also continuously provide our linguists with relevant feedback. This all helps ensure we leave the smallest possible margin for error with any materials you entrust to us..
