What are technical translations?
Technical translations make up a special group. Even correct a translation in terms of grammar and syntax does not guarantee the perfect transposition of technical details. This is greatly dependant not only on the quality of source, but also on its compliance with technical requirements and technical jargon of a particular subject matter. Technical translations cover i.e.:
| • construction | • energy | • chemical industry |
| • architecture | • engineering | • electronics |
| • IT | • automotive industry | • mechanics |
| • telecommunications | • heavy industry | • physics |
Technical translations are very frequently also localisation, i.e. such adjustment of terminology and content so that the translation would take account of all the aspects of the market on which a given product will be launched. Regardless whether it concerns medicine, the construction industry or telecommunication, technical translations must as best as possible. Thanks to the long-term cooperation with our permanent team, we always assign the most appropriate translator to a given project.
We translate, among others, many:
| • operating manuals | • production line descriptions | • certificates |
| • technical specifications | • standards | • designs |
| • products descriptions | • technical drawing | • patents |
| • company presentations | • patent documentation | • products labels |
