CILFO Translations can source a Technical Translation resource for virtually any language pair...
SEE ALSO: INDUSTRY/SECTOR-SPECIFIC TRANSLATION
Technical documents can be found in a very wide range of subjects: automotive, hydraulics, engineering (civil, marine, mechanical, electrical), avionics, medical & pharmaceutical (equipment, hardware), information technology, optics, science (chemistry, mathematics, statistics, physics, etc.). Technical applications would include: commercial agreements; product labeling; scientific reports; statistics and mathematics; patent documents; instruction manuals; warranties; engineering specifications. There's really no end of topics. (See: Industry/Sector Groups Served). The particular demands of technical documents go beyond the baseline skills of having to be an outstanding writer or linguist.
Clearly, there is more to securing the translation of a technically demanding document than simply settling for a low-cost resource on the web. Translating technical documents can be a challenging task and usually requires the services of a translator with subject-matter experience and/or expertise.
The reality is that technical documents have to be translated by translators with established competency in a given topic or subject. Many, but not all, technical translators have a background in the field that they have chose to translate in, e.g. engineering, medicine, science, IT, law, etc.
The role of a translation agency is to identify the required skill set, source the appropriate translation resource required, secure the services and coordinate the assignment.
