Technical Translation
The challenge
To non-technical people, a technical document can seem like another language, even before it is translated. The language to describe technical, mathematical, engineering and scientific jargon – such as the names of machine parts, architectural terms, the workings of algorithms and behaviour of chemical reactions - can seem strange and baffling to the best of us. What happens when a technical document is in a different language to the people who have to use it?
The solution
At Wolfestone Translation, we take our responsibilities as technical translators very seriously. We don't believe that technical translation is a matter of swapping words and phrases. We don't accept literal technical translation. Because getting technical translation wrong can prove fatal, a technical translator must be able to get it exactly right! It could be getting a procedure wrong, incorrectly describing how to operate a dangerous piece of machinery or giving incorrect or misleading guidelines. Such technical translation errors can be devastating for companies, individuals and their families.
What we do
Wolfestone Translation can offer translations for technical documents as diverse as:
- Health and Safety materials
- Architectural blueprints,
- User instructions,
- Accident reports
- Consultation records
- Scientific papers
- Manuals and operating instructions
- Build instructions
- we can translate a multitude of other technical documents.
Technical translation is more than a matter of trying to read the instructions to use a DVD player. It requires an understanding of the cultural background and the technical knowledge used in writing any technical document. This requires local knowledge alongside technical knowledge and experience.
We use only translators, who are able to give the most culturally accurate, technically adept and up to date translations. Each of our technical translators already has a degree in translation; alongside a technical qualification and experience. This means every one of our translators can give you the most culturally accurate and technically reliable translation possible.
