Technical translation — Translation agency
A manual, specification or technical presentation may need precise language for a new audience. Provide complete source files, terminology references and the intended use, and identify a technical reviewer so uncertain descriptions or inconsistent source data can be resolved rather than guessed.
Service scope
Translation of technical documents or interface material using subject-specific terminology and appropriate review. Manuals, specifications and engineering text require accurate source information and domain competence; translation is not an engineering redesign, safety assessment or permission to alter technical instructions.
What is normally included
- Technical terminology preparation
- Specialist written translation
- Consistency checking
- Coordination of subject review
What is not included
- Invented missing specifications
- Engineering certification
- Silent alteration of safety instructions
Typical tasks
- Assess technical subject and audience
- Review terminology references
- Translate text and required labels
- Check numerical and cross-reference consistency
- Raise technical queries for the responsible expert
What to include in your brief
- Technical field
- Language pair
- Intended users
- Source files and terminology
- Subject-review arrangements
Choosing the right professional
Ask about experience with the technical field and how questions will be escalated. Confirm whether diagrams, labels and structured files are included, and require uncertainty to be documented rather than resolved by a translator making unsupported engineering assumptions.
Important considerations
- Terminology errors can change technical meaning
- Source inconsistencies may remain unresolved
- Translation alone does not establish safe or compliant instructions
