Specialised technical translation services
The Challenge
A multinational company in the food packaging sector entrusted us with the translation of multilingual technical documentation and the associated page layout service in multilevel Indesign.
What was expected from us?
- a clear and technically accurate translation in order to guarantee safety and autonomy for the machine operator. When instructions in foreign language documentation are clear, it is possible to use and maintain the machines easily, minimising the need for remote or on-site technical assistance from our customer;
- a partner who could handle the technical documentation directly in the source programme, thus offering an all-round service.
The translatorsof technical texts must master the specific terminology of the mechanical, plant engineering, and engineering sector and be able to communicate with extreme precision in the target language, opting for short, simple sentences, in order to ensure correct use of the machine by the user.
Therefore, it was our responsibility to translate technical content with accuracy, effectiveness, and promptness, using the correct terminology, while strictly observing set delivery schedules.
Our Solution
A dedicated Project Manager appointed a team of linguists and experts in the packaging sector in the required language pairs.
We worked closely with the customer, exchanging constant feedback and any useful information to ensure we delivered a top quality service.
For this project, we drew on over 40 years of experience in the translation and page layout of technical texts, including instruction manuals, user and maintenance manuals, technical files, product catalogues and spare parts catalogues, technical data sheets, software and quality system documentation mainly for multinational companies in the sectors of food & wine, bottling, food & beverage, and food packaging.
The Outcome
Our expertise in translating technical content was greatly appreciated by our customer. Our professionalism, reliability, and speed of execution in each individual assignment were key to the development of a strong and ongoing collaboration.
