- What are Technical Translations?
Technical translations are usually of a more technically demanding nature than general language translations. This requires particularly good knowledge of the specialist field , combined with linguistic background knowledge on the respective subject (syntax, specific terminology, jargon etc.).
Below you will find a selection of subjects that we offer: Law (contracts, safety provisions, terms and conditions etc.), PR and Marketing (internet presence, press releases, product descriptions, catalogues, brochures, flyers, newsletters etc.), Development Policy and Renewable Energies facility description, non-fiction books, articles in trade journals etc.), Software, Medicine, Medical Technology, Chemistry, Art, Filmography, Literature, and much more. Of course, other subjects are possible, too. - What to pay attention to when dealing with Translations
Translations can be guided by different parameters such as purpose, target audience, translation technique and methodology or language and cultural specifics. If you already have clear ideas about this, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Where possible, provide us with the text in an editable format (such as .doc, .docx, .odt, .rtf, .txt) and inform us about the format in which the translation should be delivered.
Translating is a complex process that requires a high degree of concentration and professional expertise. A specialist translator can usually translate around 2000 words per day, depending on availability. It is therefore worth planning translation projects at an early stage. Ideally, the original translation is then proofread by a second translator, who checks the translation for orthographic correctness, grammar, syntax, equivalent impact and text coherence and compares it with the original. - How much does it cost?
Translations are calculated on the basis of standard lines, characters or word count (e.g., € 1.80 for 55 characters or part thereof according to the German Judicial Remuneration and Compensation act (JVEG)).
Translation costs may vary greatly depending on the subject, type of text and language combination. Feel free to get in touch with us for a non-binding Quote .
