Technical translation

There are several specific things about technical translation. One of them is that it has special terminology, which is not universal and is different for several industries. Other thing is that technical documentation contains a lot of drawings, diagrams, tables and other graphic elements, and if a document is not editable (for example in a PDF format) then it needs to be formatted first. Read more about it here.

The main directions of technical translation:

Technical manuals

Our specialists translate instructions and manuals for various equipment, including refrigeration and heating equipment, telecommunication and power engineering equipment, materiels-handling and pick-and-place machines, assembling and disassembling, monitoring equipment, household, medical, cleaning and washing, tire fitting, maintenance and other types of equipment.
