About Technical Translation Services
Technical translation is one of the most specialized forms of translation that requires a certain type of translator who has sufficient knowledge and proficiency in technical and scientific terminology. In technical translation, the focus is on meaning more than concept, and there is no room for error because the cost of one mistake can be extremely high and may endanger the lives of others, such as in the medical industry.
What is Technical Translation?
Technical translation involves the translation of all texts and documents related to the technical and scientific field from one language to another, using specialized technical terms. These texts often contain mathematical, physical, chemical equations, scientific papers, user guides, and geometric shapes, among other technical and technological content. Therefore, a specialized and experienced translator is required, not just linguistic expertise.
Various technical translation materials range from highly specialized texts, such as scientific, medical, engineering, and technical journal articles, which require an expert translator in this field, to ordinary technical texts, such as product specifications, computer specifications, which do not require high expertise in technical terms, but require a translator with a good practical understanding of general terms used in technical translation.
Translating Technical Terminology
In the current era of enormous technological and technical development, new innovations, inventions, and technologies contribute to the development of society and the well-being of users. Therefore, the importance of technical translation in our lives is evident. Localizing applications, software, and modern inventions is one of the most important challenges that falls on the technical translator, which requires creating and translating these terms in a way that explains the meaning to the target language user.
At TRANSTEC, we develop a database of technical terms through our professional translators, with the aim of facilitating the handling of these terms and providing standardized terms when working on technical translations. We also ensure that all our technical translators adhere to these terminologies and glossaries to ensure accuracy and consistency in every translation.
Overcoming Challenges in Technical Translation
Technical translation presents multiple challenges and difficulties, including:
- Specialized Technical Terminology: One of the biggest obstacles facing technical translators is finding the correct and accurate translation of technical terms in technical texts, which may represent only a quarter of the text, but are a fundamental cornerstone of understanding the text and obtaining an accurate translation.
- Technical Acronyms and Abbreviations: Abbreviations are one of the most challenging problems facing translators in general, and technical translators. Additionally, each abbreviation may carry more than one meaning, and the meaning may be closely related, requiring a high degree of technical expertise for the technical translator.
- Measurement Units and Numbers: Technical translation often involves numbers and various measurement units, such as weights, measures, speeds, mathematical, physical, and chemical equations, among others, requiring the technical translator to have a precise understanding of these units.
Technical Translation Costs
Demand for technical translation is relatively high due to the shortage of skilled technical translators in this field, which requires a different type of knowledge that may only be achieved through long practice, training, and possibly academic studies.
In addition, technical translation requires more time than regular translations, as the translator needs sufficient time to research technical terms and produce a technically understandable text in the target language, depending on the technical or scientific knowledge level of the translator.
These factors and others make technical translation a somewhat expensive field compared to other translation fields, depending on the project's required translation and the number of technical translators needed for a high-quality translation.
