Subject-matter expertise
Translators with degrees and professional experience in engineering, science, IT, and industrial fields. Technical comprehension is a qualification requirement, not an aspiration.
Technical translation services
Engineering, scientific, and specialized content translated by native linguists with technical backgrounds.
Technical content requires technical translators
Technical documentation communicates complex information to audiences who will act on it. Engineers follow specifications to build systems. Technicians use procedures to maintain equipment. Scientists interpret research findings for their own work. Operators rely on instructions to run processes safely.
Our technical translation services address this challenge directly. We employ translators with educational and professional backgrounds in the relevant technical fields. An engineering manual is translated by someone who has worked as an engineer. Scientific research is handled by linguists with advanced degrees in the relevant disciplines. Industrial documentation is translated by professionals who specialize in manufacturing processes.

Engineering and industrial documentation
Engineering documentation defines how systems are designed, built, operated, and maintained. Specifications establish requirements. Drawings communicate design intent. Procedures govern how work is performed. This content must be translated with command of engineering principles and industrial contexts, not just terminology lookup.
Our engineering translators include mechanical, electrical, civil, and process engineers who have moved into localization. They are well versed the documents they translate, because they created and used the same documents throughout their engineering careers.
Scientific and research translation
Scientific content requires translators who command research methodology, disciplinary conventions, and the precise meaning of technical terminology. A term that has one meaning in general usage may carry a specific, different meaning in a scientific context.
We employ linguists with advanced degrees and research experience in the relevant fields for scientific translation: chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, environmental science. They command experimental methodology, statistical reporting conventions, and the terminology of their disciplines.
IT and software documentation
Technical documentation for software and IT systems serves users ranging from end users following help content to system administrators implementing complex configurations. Each audience has different technical backgrounds and different needs from documentation. Translation must maintain accuracy while remaining accessible to intended users.
Our IT translation teams specialize in software concepts, networking, security, and system administration. User documentation stays accessible. Administrator guides hold their technical precision. API documentation preserves the specificity developers require.
Terminology management for technical content
Technical documentation depends on consistent terminology. A component called one thing in a maintenance manual and another thing in a parts catalog creates confusion and risk. Terminology must be standardized across document types, product lines, and languages. This consistency does not happen automatically; it requires systematic terminology management.
We develop and maintain terminology databases for technical translation programs. Terms are defined, approved, and enforced across projects. Translation memory ensures consistent usage over time. When terminology evolves with product development, updates propagate through the system.
Technical accuracy verified by technical reviewers
Translation accuracy in technical content is not just a linguistic judgment. A sentence can be grammatically correct and fluent while being technically wrong or dangerously ambiguous. Verification requires reviewers who master the subject matter in order to assess technical accuracy, not just linguistic quality.
Our quality processes for technical content include review by subject matter experts who evaluate translations for technical correctness. They verify that terminology is used appropriately, that procedures are unambiguous, and that technical meaning is preserved accurately. This technical review is the difference between translation that sounds correct and translation that is correct.
