Engineering and technical translation
Technical documentation for the people who use it
Translate manuals, safety information and technical files with a team that prepares the documents and checks the finished layout. Send us your files and deadline for a quotation.
Our linguist project managers prepare source files, coordinate the agreed translation workflow and check formatting and completeness before delivery.
Documents we translate
We can work with operation and maintenance manuals, installation instructions, safety information, technical files, product specifications, training material and supporting drawings or documentation. Send the source files and reference material together so we can assess what needs translating and how the finished files should be delivered.
Terminology and safety information
Component names, measurements and warnings need to remain consistent across manuals and related documents. Share your approved glossary, earlier translations and product information. We can use them to guide the work and agree a route for technical questions.
Requirements for instructions depend on the product, destination and applicable rules. Your technical or regulatory team should confirm those requirements; we can work to the language and content brief you provide.
Files and project schedule
Technical documents may include tables, illustrations, cross-references and structured content. Let us know the file types, target system and whether you need formatting or layout support. We will confirm the compatible workflow and delivery format when we quote.
A project manager coordinates the assignment. Provide the source approval date, target markets and delivery milestone, including the time your team needs to review the translation before release.
Technical files may combine safety warnings with part numbers, units, tables and drawings. Identify the text that must remain unchanged, the relevant product version and the reviewer who can resolve a technical query.
Questions
Can you translate equipment manuals and safety instructions?
Yes. Send the manuals, target languages and the intended audience. Include approved terminology and any review requirements.
Can you preserve the layout of a technical document?
Tell us the source format and desired output. We will review the files and confirm any formatting or desktop publishing work included in your quotation.
Can you use our existing glossary?
Yes. Share your terminology, style guide and previous translations with the brief. We will agree how terminology questions are resolved.
