Technical translations


Technical texts translation may include:

technical translation of reference material
technical specification translation
technical translation of operational manuals
translations of technical literature
lots of other translations

Technical translation is always the most difficult to perform, regardless of which pair of languages is involved.

To better explain as to why we charge extra (but not always) for a technical translation, we have emphasized some points in the following:

Linguistic education regards the humanities, not sciences. To have an ordinary translator figure out what, how and why a text is translated in this way and not another, for example, in atomic energy, is oftentimes simply impossible. This is why we should make a compromise. For instance, a technical translation is to be performed by a field specialist having average linguistic knowledge, but is a translator who makes all of the necessary grammar corrections.

If you don’t want to temporize, we are ready to offer you services from our technical editors that have higher level professional education in the field of you’re your exact activity (e.g. cars, oil, IT technologies etc.). Thanks to our ability to off you that service, all technical translations are returned to you in impeccable form.

To expedite a large translation we usually use a group of translators. To make reading any text as organic and cohesive as possible and not like “separate pieces” we use a foreign language editor and special software to preserve the cohesiveness of terms throughout the entire text.

Additionally, when performing technical translations we do not take charge extra for the translation itself; everything depends upon the specificity of a topic, the terms and content. Furthermore, you pay the translators directly for the complexity of a given topic etc., and not to us; our income is fixed regardless of the texts’ complexity level. That is why we are always able to grant the most advantageous offer possible to our customers.

Price-list for a technical translation


Our price list below concerns written technical translations. Nevertheless, it would be better to discuss the prices on an individual basis. We assure you that you will be satisfied with our quality, terms and prices.

When you reach a separate page of a language of interest, you will obtain more detailed information about that language, about our working experience with that particular language, and optionally you will be able to browse the examples of translations previously fulfilled by our agency. To our regret we are unable to place the major part of our fulfilled works as a result of confidentiality agreements with our customers. Fulfilled translations are posted on the website only after reaching an agreement with the customer.

Profreading and rush translation is already included in our rates!

Prices of technical translations are shown in euro on the basis of the following:
