what we do
Technical translation involves a variety of types of texts, ranging from technical specifications or instructions to user manuals and interfaces for software and hardware. Read more about IT/web translation here. We translate texts about complex technical solutions and innovations to a number of languages and we ensure that the industry-specific terminology we use is correct and up-to-date.
We use the latest technology in the translation industry to guarantee delivery of correct and professional translations. What is known as computer aided translation (CAT) involves the use of a CAT tool to help keep track of and save customer-specific requests regarding terminology and internal or external usage and style in recurring assignments. These tools, which also contain term databases and so-called translation memories where past translations are stored for reference, help us to deliver consistent and updated translations using the latest technical terms. They also help ensure that certain words and expressions preferred by the client in a specific language are used.
Using a CAT tool also shortens lead times and keeps down translation costs. We can, for example, prepare a glossary or style guide in advance in consultation with our client to facilitate the translation process. Many people believe that CAT tools can result in stilted language, but the truth is that as long as the source language is varied and expressive, the tool can recognise the difference in wording from previous translations. The translator can then choose alternative solutions and thereby deliver a more vibrant text which still has the correct terminology.
We use three of the leading CAT tools on the market and they are compatible with almost all file formats that contain text. If you as our client have a request regarding a specific process for our translation service or delivery, feel free to get in touch and we will be happy to describe our processes in more detail.
why us
We have many years of experience from technical English translation for companies that are investing significantly in sustainability and environmental technology. Some of our largest clients operate in industries such as construction, fashion and grocery retail, but a common denominator is that they are all at the forefront – or are even global leaders – in sustainability. This makes it even more important for information on their efforts to be translated correctly. Read more about sustainability-specific translation here.
We deliver technical translation in Swedish, English or other languages of texts from a diverse range of industries. We have experience in areas ranging from advanced medical and measurement technology to texts for the automotive, water and sanitation and construction industries.
