Translations of technical documents can bridge the gap in language among international resellers, thus providing enhanced opportunities for global markets.
This is achieved by ensuring efficient communication of quality information across cultural and linguistic boundaries via a standardized global catalogue.
Efficient communication in global markets: Translated documentation allows resellers, manufacturers, and end users to communicate technical details about complex machinery.
Enhancing international opportunities: Translated documentation allows resellers to import and export machinery from another country.
It enhances international opportunities for trade and exchange and contributes to ensuring the quality of global sales catalogues.
Industry-specific translations: the translation of technical documentation with industry-specific terminology requires a translator to ensure homogenous terminology.
Technical documents translated
- machine user interfaces
- machine tools manuals
- training material
- brochures and catalogues
- product specifications and descriptions
- contracts and legal documents
Documents translated are important for resellers, manufacturers, and end users to communicate effectively and to ensure that machinery is used correctly and maintained according to manufacturer specifications.
Technical manuals are essential for communication between manufacturers, resellers, and end-user customers. Our experience in technical translation ensures precise translations to ensure that the detail of source documentation is reflected in the target, and understandable by end users.
Timely, quality delivery
We guarantee the confidentiality of all the documents we translate, and use industry-leading security protocols to protect sensitive data.
We ensure timely delivery and deadline management of translated documents, with a defined process which helps us guarantee adherence to deadlines, accuracy, and quality.
Specialized Terminology: Our technical background and experience in managing a corpus of industry-specific technical terms in our machine tools database help ensure precise translations.
Machine tools database
We built a machine tools database to catalogue partners who distribute or manufacture machine tools. It includes a catalogue of examples of machines from these partners, descriptions of the machines' functions, and related technical terms. It is a vital and growing resource for the technical terms specific to machine tools.

Technical translation process
Being able to systematically process PDFs is an opportunity to translate technical documentation for any company which handles complex documents with diagrams.
Technical PDFs are engineering-type documents with technical drawings, diagrams, plans, layouts or tables.
These documents require specific processing (as opposed to standard text, word documents etc which feed directly into the CAT tool).
Specifically, PDF documents must be scanned with OCR software. But this is not usually enough to process them through the CAT tool. A clean document must be created for translation.
Create a clean document for translation
The objective is to prepare a clean Word document to be processed in Trados.
- Pass the document through an OCR scanner like Wondershare.
- Paste this text into a clean Word document.
Remove double carriage returns.
Create clean paragraphs and headings without images or tables. - Paste back in any images.
Paste in any images with text boxes from OCR
If there is nothing to translate on the image, paste as is. - Then add in tables in OCR.
- Spell check
Other document elements
- Paste tables as tables of text if recognized, or paste the table as an image.
- Recreate headings and table of contents
- Update table of contents
