Written Translation & Certification
Technical Translation
Unclear wording in technical documents can lead to incorrect use and safety hazards. We assign your manuals, specifications and product documentation to translators with subject-matter expertise, and keep terminology consistent throughout the project with a termbase built for you.
Some of the technical documents we translate
- User and maintenance manuals
- Technical specifications and tender documents
- Assembly and installation instructions
- Safety data sheets and product labels
- Product catalogs and technical data sheets
- Project reports and engineering documents
- Quality and occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures
- Software documentation
How it works
Send your files
Feel free to share any previous translations and your termbase too, so we can match your existing terminology.
Get a quote
We send you a written quote with the price (based on word count and language pair) and a delivery date.
Translation and review
A translator with subject-matter expertise handles the text. Our editor checks terms, units of measurement and warnings against the source.
Delivery
We deliver in the source file's format, keeping the original layout, images and tables.
Pricing and turnaround
We price by source word count. Language pair and turnaround determine the rate. When you update a manual, translation memory recognizes the unchanged sections, which lowers the cost. We confirm the final date in writing with the quote.
FAQ
Do you also translate text in images and drawings?
Yes. We extract the text from images and drawings, translate it and put it back without altering the graphics, at no extra charge.
We have our own termbase. Will you use it?
Yes. We'll use your termbase as the primary reference. If you don't have one, we'll build it together on your first project.
Can I have only the changed sections of a manual translated?
Yes. If we did the previous translation, we only translate the new and changed sections. If it came from elsewhere, just send us the old files as well.
