Technical translation
Translation of technical documentation
Anyone wishing to place a product with CE marking on the market in a country of the European Union must translate the technical documentation into the respective national language.
As part of our technical documentation services for your product, we offer translation into English in collaboration with our partner. This is a professional translation agency with experienced staff. They have specific specialist knowledge and produce high-quality and terminologically flawless technical translations. The precise translation of operating instructions and other documents ensures that you can then place your products on the target market without any problems.
Why you need a technical translation
The technical documentation for products to be placed on the market abroad is more than just a formality. It is about the safety of product customers through correct instructions and documents and about your legal protection in the event of damage. That’s why we work with experienced technical translators who create comprehensible and meaningful translations that make the product features and functions clear to a native speaker without any misunderstandings.
We ensure a thorough technical translation for your documentation
With the SCHEMA ST4 editing system, we ensure that the translation is stored in an organized and clear manner thanks to integrated language management. This means that the translation of your technical documentation can be assigned to the other language versions. In addition, the editing system we use ensures that your documentation can be realized in your company-specific layout. The content can also be continuously developed and output in various formats.
We translate the following documentation into English for you:
- Operating instructions
- Instructions for use
- Manuals
- Operating instructions
- Instructions for use
- Material safety data sheets (MSDS)
- PLC texts (programmable logic controller)
Request your individual translation. We transcribe your technical documentation into English or from English into German.
Your digital technical documentation - always in the right file format
As we use the SCHEMA ST4 editing system, we ensure that your technical documentation translated into English by our translators is in the right file format. The Component Management System (CCMS) is the most widely used XML-based program and therefore offers you all its advantages as well as different file formats. In addition to XML, we offer Microsoft Office files such as DOCX, XLSX and RTF. We also use HTML, ODT and ODS. Depending on your requirements, we will produce your translation professionally into technical English.
Standard-compliant technical translation from certified translation service providers in accordance with ISO 17100
In order to be legally secure, the translation must be correct in terms of content and language. In the field of mechanical and plant engineering, this includes, above all, mastering the technical terminology. After all, safety and health take center stage.
For this reason, DIN ISO 17100, the successor to DIN EN 15038, was developed. Adapted to the German market, the European standard defines requirements, processes and competencies with regard to translation service providers.
By working with certified translation service providers in accordance with DIN ISO 17100, we make our partnership transparent. We also meet high quality standards. Trust us and place the translation of your technical documentation in experienced hands.
