Reliable technical translation

--- More Than Just a Translation!

You are in need of an English into French technical translation and you need it now. You search the Internet for a translator with one goal – cheap rates. After all, you’ve already spent thousands of dollars on other aspects of your project and having to translate your technical document is just another burden holding your project up. You call the translator and explain that the document is an automotive manual for your large corporation. The translator accepts with no questions asked and further explains “I’ve translated hundreds of documents in my career. How hard can it be?” With confidence, you send the document, which starts off something like this: The engine incorporates an aluminium double overhead cam (DOHC) and a multi-point EFI with electronic throttle control induction system with intelligence (ETCS-i). Minutes later, the translator calls for the ‘English version’ of the document. You find yourself searching the Internet once again.

In being aware of what is involved in technical translation, clients will no longer need to enter this daunting task blindfolded with the common hit-and-miss approach.

What is Technical Translation?

Technical translation is specialized to a particular field, subject, profession or business and should be put into a category all its own. Technical documents can be anything from manuals to patents. Subjects include fields such as automotive, hydraulics, optics, engineering (civil, marine, mechanical, electrical), avionics, medical (equipment, hardware), science and physics, to name just a few. Because of its specialized nature, technical translations need to be performed by translators specialized in the specific field. The proper match of document requirements with expertise of the translator is crucial for your document success.

Who should translate my technical documents?

Technical translations require the skills of a professional who is specialized in the subject of the document. Many technical translators are former engineers, lawyers and scientists. But technical knowledge itself is not enough. Outstanding language and writing skills are needed to enable the translator to convey technical content in one language into another in a clear and precise manner.
