Why technical translation requires specialization
In a technical text, a single wrong term can lead to a misunderstood instruction or a compliance problem. That is why we work only with translators who know the field and its terminology.
Every project starts from a glossary approved together with you, so that the same terms appear identically in all documents.
- Specialized technical terminology
- Rigorous standards and specifications
- Operational risks in case of errors
- Long-term consistency

How we work
How we handle technical projects
We analyze the documentation
We review the format, volume, subject area and languages, then agree on the glossary together.
We assign translators from the field
Each text goes to a native-speaker translator with relevant technical experience.
We review and check
A second specialist checks the terminology, and QA verifies numbers and units.
We deliver and keep the memory
You receive the files in the format you need, and the glossary and translation memory remain available for future projects.
In brief
Technical translation with consistent terminology, from one project to the next
Technical documentation needs exact terms, used the same way in all documents. That is why every project starts from a glossary approved together with you, and the translation memory preserves the terminology for future projects. Texts are translated by native-speaker translators, reviewed by a second specialist and checked through linguistic QA.
We work with any file format and any language combination. If the document must look like the original, we complement it with multilingual DTP. For products and equipment, see also our dedicated pages on technical manuals, industry and manufacturing and the automotive industry.
Our process is certified to ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 17100 (translation services), and the agency has been in the translation market since 2014. Request a quote and a dedicated project manager will usually reply on the same business day.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about technical translation
What is a technical translation?
It is the translation of documents with specialized content (manuals, specifications, product sheets), done by a translator who knows the field and uses the established terminology.
Can we use our own glossary?
Yes. If you already have approved terms, we integrate them into the project glossary and apply them across all documents.
Do you also translate documents with drawings or tables?
Yes. We preserve the document structure through DTP services, so the translated version looks the same as the original.
How much does a technical translation cost?
The price depends on languages, volume, subject area and deadline. We send you a clear quote. See also how prices are calculated.
