Language translation: technical areas of specialization

Our focus is technical translation services that favor the following industries and manufacturing activities. For an overview of our technical expertise areas, please see the Industries page

Professional multilingual desktop publishing (MDTP)

In multilingual desktop publishing, the length of translated text can differ greatly from one language to another: while German and Russian have very long words, bidirectional Middle Eastern languages can change the order of writing from right to left. This is why it is important to rely on the right hands of DTP experts, so as to obtain perfect layouts, in the most commonly used formats and ready for publication, both for the web and printed documents

Customised glossaries for technical documentation

The synergy between linguistic expertise and technical-specialist preparation facilitates the application of the exact terminology in the translation of the document, while with the development of advanced customised digital glossaries, we refine the technical language for each client and update it in a shared platform, which can also be used later to maintain the consistency and fidelity of the texts to the client's corporate and regulatory terminology

Computer-aided translation for the exporting industry

Technical translators and proofreaders are supported by translation memories and computer-aided translation systems (CAT tools), which are essential for ensuring consistency within the same document, in long-term projects, and in text updates on existing products or new releases. Thus, perfect linguistic homogeneity is preserved in style as well as in vocabulary usage
