Documents and situations we support

Technical documentation needs precise terminology and readable instructions for the people using the equipment. Typical materials include:

• Equipment user manuals and installation guides
• Safety procedures and maintenance checklists
• Service schedules and spare-parts catalogues
• Software-linked instructions and illustrated diagrams

For multilingual manuals, send the complete source including diagrams, tables, reference numbers and any translation memory or terminology glossary already in use. Identify the product version and the intended country of use.

What matters for an accurate translation

Technical errors often arise from changed units, reversed instructions, confused component names or omitted warning symbols. We distinguish mandatory warnings from ordinary guidance and keep part numbers, software menu labels and cross-references consistent.

If the layout includes text embedded in images, agree whether desktop publishing or artwork localisation is required. An editable source file can reduce rework; final functional and safety checks should be completed by the equipment owner.

A practical project example

An industrial pump manual includes torque values, a numbered startup sequence and a fault-code table. When translating to Italian, the team must keep all three aligned: one mislabeled valve or shifted decimal can change the procedure.

The source owner should verify the finished target-language instructions against the equipment and local safety context before publication.

How we manage your translation

1. 01Review the brief

   First, we examine the full file, language pair, intended use and any written instructions. We check page order, legibility, tables, names and whether the recipient asks for certification, a particular file format or physical originals.

2. 02Translate and check

   Next, the translation is prepared to preserve meaning and the critical details that make this document useful. Consistency checks focus on figures, terminology, annotations, references, dates and missing passages. If the source is ambiguous, we ask for clarification rather than inventing content.

3. 03Agree the deliverables

   Before delivery, we agree whether a PDF, editable file, signed declaration or printed copy is needed. Notarisation, sworn translation and apostille services may be separate; the receiving authority decides acceptance.
