Engineering and technical translation

Translation for Engineering & Technical Industry

When it comes to technology we speak your engineers’ language

Technical and engineering translations are among the most demanding of localisation projects. They require expert subject matter knowledge, close attention to detail and the ability to write clear, carefully-worded content that leaves the user in no doubt about how to proceed.

After all, a single error could be catastrophic for a piece of equipment, or even for its operator – which is why it’s so important to choose the right language services provider for the job.

At Translators Family, we understand that no two technical translation projects are alike – in fact, there’s a strong case for considering each field a separate specialisation entirely. Thanks to our broad pool of translators, we’re able to handle fields as diverse as the following:

Did you know…?

The English term “tube” can have more than 20 equivalents in Russian, depending on the context. These include:

  • “трубка”, as in display tube or “лампа” as in catkin tube (IT and electronics)
  • “труба” or “пространство” as in drift tube (electronics)
  • “туннель подземной железной дороги” or “метрополитен” as in the London Tube (transportation)
  • “трубопровод” as in branch tube (construction)
  • “шланг” as in rubber tube (automotive)
  • “soil-sampling tube” should be translated as “керноприёмник” in oil and gas and as “почвенный бур” in agriculture

This is why it’s so essential for any engineering translation project to use a technical translator who specialises in the relevant sub-area.
