Industrial texts vary greatly in terms of the ideas being communicated and the terminology and styles used. For this reason both the translator and the proofreader involved in any particular project have to be familiar with the area and have experience in how to research the ideas and terms used in the documentation.
Perhaps more than in any other type of text, industrial texts often use company-specific vocabulary. Research is carried out to ensure that exact, up-to-date terminology is used. On occasions, we consult the customer about company-specific terminology and ideas to make sure the precise meaning of the source text is always perfectly clear in the final translation. This consultation process is particularly vital when the translation of a list of specifications is involved. In some cases these lists give scarce context information and the customer may be asked to specify exactly what certain terms refer to. Numerous terms can be translated in more than one way.
- All texts are translated by professional, native-speaker translators. They have a minimum of three years' professional experience, a translation or language degree and detailed knowledge of the subject area.
- Our Language Managers select the most appropriate translator according to the specific characteristics of each text.
- All texts are proofread by professional proofreaders. As with our translators, the Language Managers select proofreaders because of their specific knowledge of the text's subject matter as well as their translation and general language skills.
- Our industry-leading quality system is operated by our Language Managers to ensure the reliability of all our translations. Accuracy, style, terminology, presentation and punctual delivery are all requirements.
