Technical Translation

Working with complex documentation—technical manuals, interfaces, drawings, specifications? Need absolute precision, consistent terminology, adherence to references, and NDA compliance? Looking to get it right the first time?

Already have a translation but want an independent review, or used machine translation but question the quality? Need multilingual output with unified terminology and style? Facing a tight deadline but can’t afford to compromise on consistency?

Here’s what makes a flawless technical translation:

Following well-established workflows and best practices
Compiling a glossary of technical terms before the project begins
Using dedicated translation software to ensure accuracy and consistency
Applying client-provided references, previously translated content, and internal guidelines
Implementing partial updates while aligning them with the existing translations
Post-editing machine translation: correcting errors, refining terminology, and adjusting tone
Providing independent linguistic review when translation quality needs validation
Handling formats like PDF, DWG, XML, HTML, InDesign, and UI files—delivering translations in their original layout
Complying strictly with NDAs and confidentiality policies
Documenting your preferences for future projects and responding promptly to inquiries

How we work

Each project is assigned a dedicated manager who coordinates every step, answers questions, aligns on details, and ensures smooth execution. You don’t need to manage the process—our team handles the workflow, quality checks, and technical requirements internally. We structure our workflow so that you receive a translation ready for immediate use.

1️⃣ Receiving your file

Send it to us in any format—DOCX, PDF, DWG, IDML, XML, XLSX, or other.

2️⃣ Reviewing scope, complexity, and timeline
Providing a quote and delivery schedule. Signing an NDA if required.

3️⃣ Assigning a specialized team
Selecting a translator with domain expertise, adding an editor, and preparing a glossary.

4️⃣ Translating and editing
Each step is handled by a separate linguist. For AI workflows, performing full post-editing instead of raw translation.

5️⃣ Running a final quality check
Involving an independent editor to review structure, terminology, and overall clarity.

6️⃣ Delivering the final file in your preferred format
Accurate, reviewed, and layout-ready—delivered for your specific application.
