What is technical translation?

tech-blue-big
Technical translation is the translation of materials that fall within the domains of technical and scientific subjects, among the common types of industries we have:

- Global Manufacturing
- Engineering Products
- Automotive technician
- Software localization
- Medical Technical Documentation, among others.

Materials requiring technical translation vary widely, from scientific, medical, engineering, and technical publications to user manuals, patents, and product specification sheets for electronic equipment. Technical translators must have specific knowledge and subject matter experience in both languages in order to provide a high-quality translation.

Technical translation rates

Technical translation services come at a higher price than general business translations. This is because the number of linguists who can accurately translate technical materials is limited.

Technical translators must have a high level of technical or scientific knowledge in both their native language and another language in order to work on these types of projects. Translators with this type of technical literacy are rare and in high demand, therefore requiring higher payment.

We recommend two translation plans for clients seeking technical translations. We highly recommend choosing one of these, rather than our Basic plan. Though it is more affordable, selecting the Basic plan will mean taking a gamble that your translator may not have technical or scientific expertise.

Technical Translation Services FAQ

I want to use specific technical terminology in my translations.
Can I submit a glossary?

Yes, we always encourage our clients to submit a glossary if they have one – especially for technical translations, which often require very specific terminology. You will be able to upload a glossary or any other reference files at the stage when you provide your translation brief.

Do you provide quality control as part of your technical translation services?

Yes, our translators and their projects are consistently reviewed to ensure they continue to provide the high-quality translations expected of them by our clients. If you would like a second technical translator to conduct a quality review, we recommend selecting the Industry Pro plan when submitting your project.

Our company has a large-scale translation project. Are you able to handle technical translation projects of great volume?

We are able to handle projects of any size. If you are a company with a large or ongoing project, we recommend contacting our sales team for personalized assistance, rather than opening a project directly through our self-service translation wizard.

What file formats do you work with?

We can work with any file format, though delivery times may change depending on if the file is editable (DOCX, XLS, TXT, etc.) or not (PDF, JPG, etc.).

I need a technical translation urgently. How fast can you complete my project?

We do our best to return completed projects in 1-2 business days. You will see a more accurate delivery estimation based on your project size and language pair at checkout. Due to the limited number of technical translators – especially in certain languages – it may take a bit more time than usual to find the perfect translator for your project. If you need it urgently, you may select the “Urgent Delivery” option at checkout, or contact our customer support.
