Technical instructions are read by someone about to put them into practice: assemble, adjust, test, certify…
A measurement converted wrongly, an instruction reversed or a unit left out can change how the product is used and expose the manufacturer to a claim.
Documents translated, for example
| Product documentation | user and maintenance manuals, data sheets, safety instructions… |
|---|---|
| Compliance | specifications, test reports, declarations of conformity… |
| Assessment and human resources | questionnaires, assessment reports, competency frameworks… |
| Business | procedures, tender specifications, invitations to tender, technical correspondence… |
My approach to technical texts
Units and values are checked separately
Measurements, tolerances, units, part numbers: checked separately from the text, once the translation is finished.
The standard’s terminology comes first
When a standard applicable to the document sets a term in the target language, that is the term I use.
The format is preserved
Delivery in the format of your document, with the layout restored and tables and captions in place.
Rebuilding a scanned document is quoted separately.
From 9 languages: the details by language.
