What technical documents need from a translation
Consistent terminology
The same component appears in manuals, interface text, release notes and training. We build the termbase first and translate against it, so every translator uses the same term in every document and every release.
Translation memory across releases
Updated manuals and new releases are matched against your translation memory in our CAT tools, so unchanged text stays identical and you pay only for the new text.
Layout kept in Word and Excel
Translated text runs longer than the source. We keep tables, headings, labels and numbering in place, so the translated file reads like the original.
What you get
What every technical translation includes
Every order includes the items below. None of them costs extra.
Technical translators
Translators who work with manuals, specifications and software text in engineering, IT, manufacturing and energy.
Termbase and translation memory
Your product terms are kept in a termbase, and a translation memory reuses earlier translations across versions and releases.
Files in the same layout
Word and Excel files come back in the same layout, with tables, headings and numbering where they were.
CAT tool for optimal workflow
Every project runs in a CAT tool, so the termbase and translation memory are applied to each segment and repeated text is translated once and reused.
Proofreading by a second linguist
A second linguist proofreads against the source and the termbase, checking units, values and part names.
100+ languages, both directions
Every major language plus regional dialects — into and out of English by native-speaking linguists.
What you receive
- The complete translation in Word or Excel, with tables, labels and placeholders in place.
- Every unit, value and part name checked against the source and the termbase by a second linguist.
- Your termbase and translation memory, kept for your next order so the wording stays the same.
- Delivered to your inbox and dashboard, kept for re-download.

Questions about technical translation
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Do you use CAT tools for technical translation?
Yes. We translate in CAT tools with a translation memory and a termbase, so terminology stays consistent across documents and text that has not changed is not translated again. The translation memory is yours.
02Can you handle large technical manuals?
Yes. Long manuals are split between translators who share the same translation memory and termbase, and one proofreader reads the whole manual so it reads the same throughout.
03Do you preserve the original formatting?
Yes. Word and Excel files come back in the same layout, with tables, headings, labels and numbering where they were. PDF sources are delivered as Word files with the layout rebuilt.
04Can you localize software UIs continuously?
Yes. Send the new or changed strings on each release, as a resource file or an Excel list, and we translate them against your translation memory and termbase so the wording stays consistent with earlier releases.
05What industries do you serve?
Manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, IT/software, energy, telecommunications, medical devices, and life sciences. Linguists are matched based on industry and product domain.
