Technical translation

Awatera's experience in technical translation

Technical translations require experienced translators and editors with technical degrees. This type of service is very different from translating marketing materials or fiction. When it comes to technical translations, the key requirements are absolute accuracy and consistency of technical terminology. That’s why our translators use integrated glossaries and translation memory for repeated phrases.

Our customer portfolio includes international companies that import tech solutions and engineering services to Ukraine, as well as global Ukrainian companies working in mining, oil and gas, and telecommunications industries.

Examples of document types that we work with include scientific literature, design documentation, instructions, technical passports.
We can also redesign the document in the necessary format which can be particularly useful for translations of technical drawings.
We offer legalization and notary certification services for your documents as well.

Technical translation quality assurance

Highest quality technical translations are edited by industry experts and proofread by native speakers. Project teams always include experts with industry education: scientists, engineers, specialists. Our regular customers benefit from working with teams of full-time linguists and having company-specific glossaries and translation recommendations. We recognise that mistakes may happen. If any mistranslations are detected at the stage of translation delivery, we resort to our QA Department. Having received an LQA report, we discuss the necessary changes with the customer, offer a discount on the project, and revise the translation. The LQA procedure enables us to systematically improve our translation quality and the skill sets of our full-time linguists. Prices of technical translations depend on various project details: document type, target language, discount for the volume, urgency, translation and DTP design complexity.
