Technical Translation Services for Manufacturing

Technical translation is the translation of documents that contain specialised scientific, engineering or industrial information, such as manuals, specifications, datasheets, safety instructions and patents. It requires subject knowledge, strict terminology control and consistency across every version of a document, because errors can lead to product misuse, safety risks or non-compliance. As a specialised technical translation agency, PoliLingua assigns only linguists with engineering or scientific backgrounds.

Technical document translations can be divided into various categories based on their purpose and the type of technical content. Here are some common types of technical document translations by our technical translation agency.

• Instruction Manuals - Instruction manuals are technical documents that provide step-by-step instructions on how to use a product or service. They can be translated into multiple languages to facilitate global distribution and use.
• Product Specifications - Product specifications are technical documents that describe the characteristics and functionality of a product. They can be translated to ensure that the product is marketed accurately and effectively in international markets.
• Technical Reports - Technical reports are technical documents that provide detailed information about a particular technical subject. They can be translated for scientific journals, conferences, and presentations.
• Patents - Patent translations are technical documents that describe inventions and innovations, and their legal protections. They require high accuracy and technical expertise to ensure that the patent is adequately protected in multiple jurisdictions.
• Engineering Documents -Engineering translation services include technical drawings, schematics, and blueprints that describe the design and construction of a product. They require accurate translation to ensure that the product can be manufactured correctly.
• Safety Manuals - Safety manuals are technical documents that provide instructions for the safe use of a product or service. They can be translated to ensure that the product is used safely in international markets.

Compliance for Machinery and Industrial Products

Products sold in the EU must come with instructions in the language of the country where they are used. The new EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 keeps this requirement, and safety data sheets must follow REACH and CLP rules. Our technical translators are familiar with these documents and the terminology that inspectors and end users expect.

Lower Costs on Every Manual Update

Technical documentation changes with every product version. With translation memory, sentences you have already translated are reused automatically, so you only pay full price for new or changed text. On regular manual updates, this typically cuts both cost and turnaround time significantly.
