Specialised Technical Translation for Complex Documentation

At Technical Translation Services, we focus on engineering, manufacturing, energy, oil & gas, automotive, aviation, IT and technology sectors. Our translators don’t just “speak the language”—they understand the concepts behind it. That means your manuals, specifications, safety documents, and software materials are translated with the same precision as they were written.

Terminology Consistency with Translation Memory & Termbases

Technical translation is not just about getting today’s document right it’s about keeping tomorrow’s documents consistent. We use Translation Memory and termbases to ensure that your terminology, product names, and technical phrases are used consistently across manuals, datasheets, SOPs, and software materials, year after year.

icon

Translation Memory for efficiency and consistency

We maintain Translation Memories for your projects, so repeated and similar content is translated consistently and more efficiently over time. This reduces cost, speeds up updates, and keeps your documentation aligned across versions and product generations.

icon

Termbases for controlled terminology

We create and maintain termbases (glossaries) for your key terms, product names, component descriptions, and technical phrases. These are applied across all your documents, so “the same thing” is always called the same thing.

icon

Support for client‑provided glossaries

If you already have internal glossaries or preferred terminology, we integrate them into our process and apply them across all translations.

icon

Consistency across product lines and markets

Whether you’re updating a single manual or launching a new product line in multiple languages, we use your Translation Memory and termbases to keep everything consistent and controlled.

icon

Reduced risk, clearer documentation

Consistent terminology reduces confusion, support tickets, and operational risk. Your teams and customers see the same terms, used the same way, in every document.

Security & Confidentiality as Standard

Technical documentation often contains proprietary designs, processes, and product information. We treat that content with the same level of care you do.

  • NDA by defaultWe are happy to work under your NDA or provide our own, so confidentiality is formally in place from the outset.
  • Secure file transferFiles are exchanged using secure channels, with options for encrypted transfer where required.
  • Controlled accessOnly the project team working on your documents has access to your files. We do not share your content with unrelated third parties.
  • Encrypted storageProject files are stored securely, with appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information.
  • Optional secure archivingIf you require long‑term access to translated materials, we can retain them securely for future updates and reference, under agreed retention policies.

Accuracy That Reduces Risk

In technical environments, a mistranslated instruction or ambiguous term is more than an inconvenience it can lead to safety incidents, downtime, or compliance issues. Our approach to technical translation is built around reducing that risk.

icon

Bilingual technical reviewers

Where appropriate, translations are reviewed by experienced linguists with technical understanding, ensuring that the language is not only correct, but technically sound.

icon

Terminology
checks

We systematically check terminology against your termbases, glossaries, and industry standards to avoid inconsistent or incorrect usage.

icon

Layout and diagram checks

We pay attention to how text appears in diagrams, tables, callouts, and labels, ensuring that the translated content still fits and makes sense in context.

icon

Zero‑omission, context‑driven translation

We do not summarise, compress, or “simplify away” content. Every instruction, warning, and note is translated in full, with context taken into account.
