Technical Translation

Translating materials or documents by experts in fields that use specialized terminologies

Translation Process

Technical content demands the highest level of accuracy and precision when translating into other languages. Multilingual translation is becoming a crucial component of the expansion strategy as more organizations, including those in the scientific field, seek global audiences. Our translation process includes combining both professional native human translators with our SAP-driven language translation system. FLE Malaysia can translate over 61 languages professionally. We have done work for industries such as E&E, Oil and Gas, Water Utilities, IT SAP Partners, Aerospace, Apple, Honeywell Aerospace, and Defence Contractors. Some of the specialized materials and documents that require technical specialties include:

User Manuals

User manuals are a type of technical writing that aims to inform readers how to use a product and perform specific tasks. Translating a user manual can require intricate technical knowledge depending on the complexity of the product and its instructions. So it’s essential to use a translator who understands how to use an objective, instructional tone to translate the guidelines into simple, clear, technical terminology—thereby making it relatively easier for everyone to understand the translated manual in the target language. Accurate translation of user manuals is mandatory, as even the slightest mistake could lead to severe safety issues and harm the brand’s reputation. This is why technical translators are the only ones who should be trusted to handle this sensitive type of material.

Software Strings

Translation of software strings for the user interface is another type of technical translation. To the casual eye, the user interface tends to be simply worded. As a matter of fact, a translator needs to have in-depth knowledge of the technical terminology. In most cases, software strings feature abbreviations the translator should translate correctly into the target language.

Scientific, Engineering, and Technical Articles

The scientific, technical, and engineering content translation niche is a challenge for translators. For one, proper knowledge of the field and firm understanding of the specific terminology is a prerequisite. Being fluent in both the source and the target language is not enough – a translator also needs to have a solid background in the field, as these articles have high standards for publication in journals and news sources.

Patents

Knowledge of the industry, especially the patented product, is essential for writing and translating patents. A patent must abide by all applicable laws and regulations. Such content usually encompasses extensive claims of a patented product without revealing much in terms of information on how the product works, as disclosing certain details can limit the scope of the patent. To meet the requirements of the company or individual applying for the patent, it takes a technical translator with vast experience working with patents. The combination of knowledge, abilities, and creativity is what patent translation entails.
