What is technical translation?

Technical translation is a specialized type of translation which involves the translation of documents in technological subjects or texts that deal with the practical application of technological or scientific information. Technical translations are needed in a variety of industries ranging from advertising to engineering to machinery, therefore a specialised Technical Translation Service is a must for accurate results.

Technical texts are often complex and require knowledge and experience both in linguistics and niche industries, which only professional translators have. At Keep Translations we hand-select the translators we work with to ensure that they meet the criteria required to provide you with high quality Technical Translation Services.

The different niches within technical translations cannot be taken under one umbrella. Advertising and machinery have completely different terminologies and both require a specific technical knowledge. All our translators have a specialism and we have a number of linguists in our network from a wide range of backgrounds and niches to choose from.

When technical translation goes wrong

As technical translation deals with technological subjects and the practical application of technological and scientific information, the constant change and development in these areas should be taken into consideration. For accurate translations, it is imperative that the linguist carrying out the works is up-to-date with the newest trends and terminology. If you entrust your documents to inexperienced and unqualified translators, you risk:

Having outdated information and terminology in your text. Technical areas are ever changing and translators who do not constantly update their knowledge will fall behind and provide low quality, inaccurate technical translations.
Having mistranslations in your text. The subjects of technical translation often have terms that do not translate from one language to another. Only a skilled linguist is able to judge when it is appropriate to translate a term word for word and when it is more accurate to paraphrase or leave the original version in the text.
Taking your text out of context. An unqualified translator who does not have experience in your specific niche could translate your text taking it out of the industrial context, therefore changing the intended message or even the style of your document.

At Keep Translations we acknowledge the importance relevant linguistic and industrial experience in order to provide linguistically and contextually accurate technical translations, this is why we only with trusted translators that we hand select ourselves.
