Technical Translations

Technical language translation is one of the main specialty fields in the language translation industry and one of the core competencies of LanguageTran.

Technical translations are challenging and require highly-skilled and specialized professional technical translators who follow proven quality assurance procedures to render a well-written and accurate translated text. To achieve this, professional technical translation services must draw on the experience of translators who are not only accomplished linguists, but also have ample experience in the specific subject matter or technical field.

LanguageTran, a full service technical translation agency, offers turnkey solutions to translate your operation manuals, specifications, process descriptions, patents and drawings into/from all major languages. Our technical translators are highly trained linguists who also posses comprehensive knowledge and command of their specific fields. Assigning your translation work to the right translator is the single most important decision you can make to guarantee an excellent end-product.

LanguageTran Team

LanguageTran has a large team of technical translators that work into/from all main European and Asian languages. We offer fast, accurate and affordable technical translation services. Our translators are often engineers and scientists themselves.  This is important because each field has it's own conceptual framework and might use different terminology. For instance, if your project requires a Spanish technical translator or a Italian technical translator for a chemical process patent, we will assign your work to a translator who has worked in the chemistry field for at least 3 years.

3. Preparation of translation memory databases to insure consistent terminology and exact translation of duplicate sentences
4. Translate, proof-read and format the document in specific sequences

Patent Translation

Clients often require accurate technical translations of foreign patents. An engineer or scientist will often only has access to foreign patents abstracts in their own language. However, abstracts omit most of the detailed information that researchers need. Proper translation of patent full documentation is critical for comprehensive evaluations or to assess possible patent infringements. LanguageTran has the experience and technical wherewithal to translate your patents accurately and promptly.
