What Is Technical Document Translation?
There’s no need to panic if you are unsure what technical document translation is. You are certainly not alone as many people struggle to understand what technical document translation means and how it can really benefit them and their business.
A technical translation is a specialised translation involving the translation of documents produced by technical writers, or texts that relate to technological subject areas such as texts that deal with practical, scientific, or technological information.
Technical Document Translation Requirements
- A professional translator who has the requisite knowledge
- Awareness of the correct technical terms
- A translator who can easily adapt to using very specialised terminology
- The specialised terminology needs to be known by the translator in the source language as well as the target language
All of this will ensure that the document is translated professionally, so that the reader can easily understand it.
As you can see, technical document translation isn’t too complicated to understand once you have a brief understanding of the concept. However, it is vital that you use professional technical translation services instead of trying to complete a technical translation independently.
Technical translation services use specialist translators to complete technical document translations. Carrying out this task independently can lead to miscommunication as well as other damaging factors for you and your business.
How Do Technical Translation Services Work?
All technical translation services work differently and have their own guidelines. However, a standard technical translation process generally goes like this:
- The technical translation services will collect all documents from you, which are to be technically translated.
- The documents are then passed onto a highly educated bilingual professional translator. The translator will then start to translate the source text into the new language and will ensure that the document reflects the source text accurately.
- The translated documents are now ready to send to another linguist. The linguist will check the documents thoroughly and will compare them to the original documents. This process is double insurance that there are no mistakes.
- Finally, automated QA checks are carried out on the documents. These checks look for issues such as double spaces or missing punctuation. After this is done the translated documents are then sent back to you.
The above process is the best way to ensure you achieve professional technical document translation. This method is used here at UK TechTrans, and always provides our clients with the best results. It guarantees that your documents are mistake-free as well as being accurately translated.
