§ Technical translation
Technical translation that uses the same word every time
A manual only works if a term means one thing from the first page to the last. We translate manuals, specifications and safety data sheets and keep part names, units and warnings consistent.

What it covers
Your specifications stay yours.
- We use your files only to translate them.
- We keep your terms consistent inside a document and, when you send a glossary, across a set.
- We delete your files on request.
What counts as a word
We count the words in the running text, tables and any labels in images we have to translate. Part numbers, codes and units are not translated, so they are not charged as words when they stand alone.
