Consistency, accuracy and readability

Translating technical documents and specialised texts is a multi-skilled, professional process requiring a meticulous commitment to accuracy, quality and effective communication.

Consistent and accurate use of technical terminology

Subject matter expertise and careful research is required to ensure the correct and consistent translation of vocabulary and terminology in accordance with the conventions of the technical area and the culture of the target language.

Use of terminology must be consistent with relevant and authoritative references, such as published legislation, regulations and standards, and consistent with the client’s own existing documentation.

The highest standards of quality technical writing

Our objective is to produce finished translated texts that can be read and understood with ease. Readability is an important challenge in technical translation that is all too often unmet. It is particularly relevant when translated documentation is directed at end-users and consumers – e.g. installation manuals, help pages, operating instructions and product information sheets.

We are committed to providing translations that, in addition to being technically correct, are concise, focused and easily understood by the intended reader.

Translators in tune with the local market

Wherever possible, we use local translation providers based in the market where the translation is to be used – this ensures, not just native speakers of the target language, but translators who connected to the local market, its culture and its conventions.

Local translator teams, working under a local management structure, have the insight and know-how necessary to ensure that technical texts are not just correctly and skilfully translated, but also appropriately adapted.

Expert review and quality control

QUALITY CONTROL AND REVIEW PROCESS
→ preparatory review to identify and verify authoritative glossaries and reference texts (public documents and client material)
→ preliminary review of translation terminology with verification against in-house glossaries and authoritative texts (in liaison with client as necessary to ensure correct use of internal vocabulary)
→ compilation of technical glossary for the translation (verification with 2nd translator and client as necessary)
→ post-translation technical review to ensure accurate and precise use of terminology (verification by 2nd translator and with client as necessary) comparing to original text
→ proofreading review to correct any errors of grammar, spelling or syntax (verification by 2nd translator as necessary)
→ readability review to ensure that the final text is natural, well-structured and easily understood by target reader
→ client review and incorporation of client feedback, updating of client glossaries for future projects

Effective quality control is essential to ensure that translations are accurate, free of language errors and effectively written.

Quality control and review is an integral part of the translation process. In the case of technical documents containing critical information for external use and publication, a comprehensive and systematic review process is especially applicable – this can involve separate teams of translators, editors and proof-readers with subject-matter expertise in the target and source language.

However, the extent and intensity of this review process can be a significant component of the final cost of the translation. In order to keep revision and proofreading expenses to a minimum, an appropriate level of review is determined for each text, in conjunction with the client and in line with the intended use and objective of the translated text, while careful management of the process and use of technologies ensures that the review is kept efficient and focused.

In the field of technical translation, the client often figures as a highly authoritative and unique source of expertise and knowledge on the subject of the translation.

In such cases, client input and involvement in the translation and review process can be a decisive factor in ensuring a quality outcome, from providing internal reference texts and reviewing compiled glossaries, to assisting with unclear or imprecise text in the original documents and giving feedback on the translated text.

We continue to work with the client and the translators to rework any sections of text that the client is not completely happy with and to incorporate any suggestions or changes that the client may want to make. No project is considered complete until the client is entirely satisfied with the result.
