Technical Translation
Manuals, specs, and documentation translated with terminology that stays consistent across the whole set — and formatting that survives re-layout.
from $0.14/word
What it is
Technical translation means the terminology in your manual, spec, or documentation set stays the same word for the same part, function, or warning across every page — not re-invented paragraph by paragraph. We build a glossary from your source document and hold to it for the length of the project.
Who it's for
- Engineering teams shipping manuals or specifications into a new market.
- Product managers localizing software documentation or a help center.
- IT teams translating internal technical documentation or SOPs.

How it works for this service

The same term, every time
- Terminology consistency via a project glossary, stated as method, not adjective.
- Formatting that survives re-layout — a specific, checkable promise.
- Subject-matter review by a second linguist with relevant technical background.
