It focuses on converting technical documents from source to target languages and demands advanced linguistic expertise.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the technical translation for, and who are our clients?<\/h2>\n<p>The technical translations required are as varied as the fields they cover.<br \/>\nOur clients are professionals from a wide range of sectors, from engineering, industry, food industry, technology, to medicine or science writing, listing, publishing, documenting user manuals, patents, scientific reports, operating instructions, research and development studies, or maintenance reports needed to be translated.<br \/>\nTechnical translator ensures that legal, standardized, accurate and contextualized information is communicated clearly to the intended audience. Compliance with specific terminology is essential in this context, as any error could have serious technical and legal implications. Product safety and device functionality are at stake.<br \/>\nWho has never had one day to struggle with incoherent instructions for use or impossible terms of sales?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 300px; padding-left: 10px;\">\n<h2>What are the characteristics and the tools of technical translation?<\/h2>\n<p>Rigorous application of standards is essential for achieving consistency. This is particularly relevant for large documents and long-term projects. Thus, translation experts use glossaries and terminology databases developed jointly with their clients to comply with the specified terms and conditions.<br \/>\nCompliance is fundamental since some sectors are subject to ISO standards.<br \/>\nNowadays, Computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools are helping translators manage their projects and improve their efficiency and productivity. In a way, this human-machine association leads to a better selection of clear and accurate content. Yet, the field of technical translation has witnessed significant changes since IA services arised, deviating human specialists from their core tasks. Still, the expertise and mastery of human translators remains unrivaled.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-994 size-medium\" style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traduscript.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/traduction-technique-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"traduction technique\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traduscript.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/traduction-technique-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traduscript.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/traduction-technique-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.traduscript.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/traduction-technique.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technical translation Technical translation is a specialized branch of translation that &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":6,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-998","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Is Technical Translation?
