Technical Translation

Most professional translators are proficient in translating general ‘business’ documents, but they usually struggle with more technical or complex documents. Texts requiring a deeper knowledge of a particular industry, industry specific terminology, complex theories and quantitative expressions present a considerable challenge to the translators.

We have resolved this issue by first analyzing the specific technical and linguistic requirements for each document. We then put together a team of qualified translators, proofreaders and editors that best matches the specific requirements of that particular document.

This process gives us a significant competitive edge in completing even the most specialized translation requests to the complete satisfaction our clients.

Integrated Language Services: CBC offers a complete spectrum of language solutions for our clients, which allows them to outsource all their language needs so that they can concentrate on their actual core business. Our services - beyond translation - include multilingual data processing and management services, all areas of print pre-processing and printing.

Project Management: A single project manager is assigned to your company, who manages all phases of each of your projects, from planning and scheduling through to quality assurance and returning the translated material back to you on time. We provide customized solutions from the source documents all the way through camera-ready translations to finished printed products in multiple target languages.

Quality Assurance Process: All our translation assignments are subject to the strictest quality assurance cycle to consistently guarantee the high standards that our clients have come to expect from our company. This process involves translation by an experienced highly qualified translator, independent proofreading by an industry expert, feedback by the client and a final round of amendments on the basis of that feedback. As a consequence, our clients are assured of getting the same consistently high-quality translation for each translation they commission.

Confidentiality: We are committed to respecting the confidentiality of all our engagements, given the highly competitive and proprietary nature of many of the documents we deal with.. Find out more about the specific steps we can take in individual cases to safeguard confidentiality.

CBC Translation specializes in providing professional technical translations.

We have considerable experience in translating a wide range of technical documents, from IT translation to the translation of manufacturing or engineering documents. Our blend of experienced, skilled language professionals, industry experts, and project managers makes CBC the ideal partner for our clients’ most complex and specialist technical translation requirements.

Experience in Industry: We attain our high quality in the translation of technical documents by only assigning translation work to translators and proofreaders who either have extensive experience working within the relevant industry, such as IT or engineering, or who have undergone specialized technical translation training. This specialization ensures that any language use specific to our clients' technical documents will always be translated perfectly.

In addition, we only use highly qualified translators who translate exclusively into their own native language, thus making sure that the translations read like original documents. This meticulous attention to linguistic and technical detail has allowed us to form strong long-term relationships with many leading companies in the engineering, manufacturing and IT industry sectors.

Client-specific Project Management

CBC’s technical translators and proofreaders work very closely with our project managers to ensure that every translation is delivered on time and complies with our professional quality standard. We also build and maintain glossaries of technical terms to help achieve the same aim.

For our regular clients, these glossaries reflect any client-internal terminology or specific usage. As a result, each translation is stylistically consistent with all previous corporate communications for that particular client.

This translation process ensures the highest possible quality and consistency throughout the translation of each individual document, which may have to be split between several translators, and - just as crucially - across multiple documents for the same client.
Forming: Documents requiring technical translation often contain complex diagrams and drawings. CBC's quality assurance cycle ensures that, when a completed translation is returned to you, any illustrations will be formatted such that it consistently represent those present in the source file.
