Translation of technical documentation

Specialists from Alconost Translations document translation services are able to translate a whole range of scientific and technical documents, instructions and user manuals for industrial and domestic appliances, product descriptions and specifications, descriptions of technical processes, and any other documents in a technical field. The style of the original and all field-specific specialist terminology is preserved. As well as using specialized translation memory and online linguistic resources, our technical translators always liaise with the client directly.

Language localization and cultural adaptation of products (localization and internationalization)

When we work on technical translations we do not simply translate the original text – if you wish, we can carry out a full cultural and linguistic adaptation of the end result. For example, the technical translator can convert units of measurement (meters, feet and inches), ensure time zones and summertime adjustments are appropriate to the target region, take differences in local mains electricity into account (220V, 110V), take differences in part marking into account according to national standards, and much more. In this way, the client receives a translation that fully corresponds with the requirements and standards of the target country or region.

Technology translation, software localization, database translation and website translation

Modern-day technical processes are rarely managed without the use of software, and we offer technical translation as part of a package with software localization. Alconost Translations' technical translation services have wide experience of software localization and website translation and are able to take on localization assignments for technical software packages including the translation of technical documentation.

Glossary of specialist technical terminology

To achieve consistency in the use of specialist terminology when working on large engineering translation projects (for example, translation of technical documentation for a series of industrial appliances), we are creating and developing a special online glossary that is available to the technical translator and specialists working on behalf of the client for viewing and editing. This glossary improves the quality of the translation significantly and will serve as a wordbank in the future.

Formatting to match the original, design, page proofs

At the client's request, we can carry out technical translations that include page proofs and preserve the format of the original in the translated document (for example, translation and editing of PDF documents). The appearance of the final document will match the original as closely as possible and will be ready for immediate use by the end user and for print. Our translation agency has experience translating technical materials in practically any format: .pdf, .html, .cdr, .swf, etc.

Technical literature test translation

If necessary, we are happy to carry out a test translation (of part of the assignment text) of 2-3 pages in order to demonstrate the quality of the technical translation to you before you entrust us with the work.
