Technical translations are the foundation Professional Translation was built on. From the very start, the company has focused on clients other agencies could not serve, whether due to the need for highly specialised technical experts, a team always ready to respond to changing circumstances, or a workload capacity beyond the reach of the average language service provider.
At Professional Translation, we have been providing qualified translation of design and technical documentation for over 20 years.
OUR MAIN AREAS OF TECHNICAL TRANSLATION:
-
Electrical and mechanical engineering
-
Renewable energy sources
-
Radioactive waste management
-
Energy efficiency
-
Communications and construction
-
Information technology
-
Safety and environmental protection

We know what technical translation requires
Consistent terminology matters when working on large specialised documents and on long-term thematic projects. To keep results uniform and tailored to each client's specific requirements, Professional Translation compiles and maintains individual company glossaries by project or subject area, which we update regularly through ongoing communication with our clients as their work progresses.
Translation by highly specialised technical experts
Our technical translators are not philologists or linguists. They are engineers, technical experts and people with many years of hands-on experience.
Even the most talented translators lack the knowledge and understanding of in-depth technical documentation needed to translate a document written by engineers, for engineers.
Editing by a qualified language specialist
The editing stage ensures proper style, grammar and linguistic quality. The editor makes sure the wording is correct, precise and concise, and maintains the linguistic and terminological consistency of the entire project, which often includes:
-
Multiple documents of different types and nature
-
Diagrams, schematics and drawings
-
Translation by a team of translators
Additional advantages
Terminological consistency
We use the latest software technologies and translation tools to maintain consistency and terminological accuracy. Our experts are familiar with the specialised terminology of every translation and work with both in-house and client-supplied glossaries.
Consistent style and terminology in every future project
The CAT tools we use allow us to reflect your requirements and standardise terminology not only in the first project you entrust to us, but in every one that follows. With up-to-date databases and terminology glossaries, you can be sure the right terms will be used in future projects, even if you assign them years later.
Seamless revisions
We know that technical documentation often goes through numerous rounds of revision by different specialists. Thanks to modern technology, our team can quickly and easily identify the changes and deliver an up-to-date translation that is fully aligned with previous versions.
Drawings and graphics
Technical documentation usually contains a large amount of illustrative material: schematics, diagrams, figures, tables, etc. We guarantee consistent translation of such material, as well as of documentation containing drawings in various formats. Depending on the client's requirements and preferences, we translate documents while fully preserving their original layout and quality.
