Few, if any, modern devices, however unsophisticated, come without a manual in tow. End users and retail and service partners of vendors all rely on documentation for guidance. This includes training manuals, user and maintenance guides, shipping documents, and the like.
Translating technical literature is an exercise in precision. The consequences of misunderstanding a technical process or the way to operate a device can be severe, and the breakdown of costly equipment could be the least of one’s problems. Poorly-written documentation leads to consumer distrust, which is a disservice to the vendor. For these reasons, technical translation is considered to be one of the most labor-intensive and critical linguistic processes. The perfect command of a foreign language must converge with in-depth knowledge of the subject and the specialized education and industry-specific work experience of the language professionals.

Consistent Terminology
Translating technical texts primarily involves processing large volumes of terminology. As part of our service package, we compile, review, and maintain terminology glossaries. These glossaries enable our translators to use universally-accepted terms and abbreviations and maintain consistency throughout the text and across projects.
Accurate Translations with a Native Sound
Industry-specific translators and editors with appropriate educational backgrounds and work experience help us avoid mistakes and inaccuracies while preserving a style that suits technical literature, which includes but is not limited to scientific articles, reviews and operation manuals.
All of our translators and editors are native speakers of the target language, and have been trained in every aspect of language usage and style.
Integrated Approach
Few technical publications come without drawings, figures, and schematics. Our experts are apt to handle the full range of localization, layout, and desktop publishing tasks and procure print-ready documents in the format of your choice.
