Accuracy where it matters.
Persuasion where it counts.
Your technical content has two jobs. We make sure it does both.
- Technical documentation: user manuals, safety data sheets, engineering specifications. It needs to be precisely right. There is no persuasion required. The risk is a mistranslation that a technician, operator or auditor acts on.
- Technical marketing content: leave pieces, detail aids, product brochures for specialist audiences. It needs to be precisely right AND move a specialist reader to act. Content that gets the science right but misses the commercial voice is accurate and ineffective. AI produces the same result with more confidence and less accountability.
Specialists in your field
Technical translation works when the person handling your content knows the subject, not just the language. The right expertise for your sector, your content type and your audience.
- Engineering, manufacturing, life sciences and software
- Pharma, medtech and technical marketing content
- Matched to your audience and your market
The right approach for your content
High-volume documentation and technical marketing content have different requirements. We match the workflow to what the content needs: AI-assisted with specialist review where it works, human specialists throughout where it does not. Your content gets the right treatment, not the most convenient one.
- Documentation: AI-assisted with specialist review available
- Technical marketing content: human specialists throughout
- Decided by the content, not the volume
Nothing drifts
Terminology consistency across languages is one of the most common problems in technical translation. Every approved term, phrase and style decision is stored and carried forward automatically, across every file, every update and every language version.
- Every approved term and phrase stored and carried forward automatically
- Only changed content needs translating, everything else holds
- Consistent terminology, style and voice across every file, every language, every update

When your audience knows the subject,
your content has to work twice as hard.
Manufacturers, engineers and technical documentation teams
When your documentation goes to market in multiple languages, the people acting on it, technicians, operators and compliance auditors, need to be able to trust every word. An inaccurate user manual, safety data sheet or CE declaration is not a translation problem. It is a product problem. Every project is handled by specialists with the relevant subject background, with terminology agreed and locked before translation begins.
Pharma, medtech and technical marketing teams
If your audience is a prescriber, a clinical specialist or a medtech buyer, your content is being read by someone who will know immediately if the science is wrong, and will notice just as quickly if the copy fails to make a case. Medical marketing translation sits at the intersection of both demands. Your leave pieces, detail aids and promotional and event materials need to work as hard in every language as they do in the original.
Engineering & manufacturing
Engineering and manufacturing content runs from the specification a component is built to, to the brochure that sells the machine. Both need to be technically precise. The marketing content needs to do that and persuade a specialist buyer.
- Technical documentation, manuals and safety data sheets
- Product catalogues and technical brochures
- Trade show and exhibition materials
- Sales presentations and pitch materials
- Website and digital marketing content
Pharma and life sciences
Pharma and life sciences content covers both ends of the spectrum: documentation that must meet regulatory standards and promotional materials that must persuade clinical audiences. The subject knowledge and the commercial intent are part of the same brief.
- Product monographs, package inserts and regulatory submissions
- Leave pieces, detail aids and promotional and event materials
- Campaign and brand materials for specialist audiences
- Digital and website content for clinical and consumer markets
- Medical education and training materials
Medtech and medical devices
Medical device content spans documentation that regulators audit and marketing materials that clinical buyers act on. Subject knowledge is non-negotiable for both. The promotional content requires the right tone on top of it.
- Device labelling, instructions for use and technical files
- Sales and marketing materials for clinical audiences
- Campaign and brand content for healthcare professionals
- Digital and website content for clinical and consumer markets
- Training and education materials
Software and technology
Software and technology content has to work for two audiences: the users and developers who rely on it, and the buyers and decision-makers the marketing content has to convert. Both notice when the style is wrong.
- Software strings, UI content and developer documentation
- Product marketing and campaign materials
- Website and digital content for every market
- Sales enablement and pitch materials
- Case studies and customer success content
Energy and utilities
Energy and utilities content covers operational documentation where errors create risk, and commercial materials that need to win contracts and build confidence in complex products and services.
- Safety procedures, equipment manuals and compliance documentation
- Tender, procurement and bid documents
- Corporate and investor communications
- Website and digital content for every market
- Campaign and brand materials for commercial audiences
Automotive
Automotive translation covers two distinct audiences: the engineers and technicians who build and service vehicles, and the dealers and buyers the marketing content has to reach. The subject is the same. The tone is different.
- Technical specifications, workshop and parts documentation
- Product brochures and configurator content
- Dealer and sales support materials
- Campaign and advertising materials for every market
- Website, digital and customer magazine content localised for each territory

Questions about technical translation
The most common questions about technical translation are answered here. If yours is not listed, get in touch and we will answer it directly.
Technical translation covers any content where subject knowledge is essential: user manuals, safety data sheets, engineering specifications and software documentation. It also covers technical marketing content, product brochures and promotional materials for specialist audiences, where the linguist needs to understand the subject and still produce copy that moves a specialist reader to act.
A technical manual needs to be precisely accurate. The reader will follow it. A technical marketing document, a product brochure or promotional piece written for a specialist audience, needs to be accurate and persuasive: a specialist reader will dismiss anything that misrepresents the subject, but will not act on content that fails to make a case. Getting both right simultaneously is what this content demands.
Every key term is agreed and locked in a project glossary before translation begins. Translation memory applies it consistently across every document. For ongoing clients, both carry forward into every future project automatically.
Engineering, manufacturing, automotive, electronics, life sciences, pharmaceutical, medical devices, software and technology, and many more. For regulated sectors like pharma and medtech, we also confirm our team understands the local rules around how products can be promoted in the target market.
Send the updated source file and we identify what has changed. Only new or modified content needs translating. Approved terminology carries through automatically, so revisions are faster, cheaper and consistent with every previous version.
