FAQ
For some, it is a tough nut to crack, for others – a nighttime worry. A project can succeed or fail depending on how well the translation is done. Technical translations – what to know about them?
WHAT ARE TECHNICAL TRANSLATIONS?
Technical translations are generally translations of a wide range of technology, legal and financial documentation, IT, engineering, and medical material, such as technical specifications, investment, construction, technological or research and development documentation, manuals, safety data sheets, declarations of conformity and certificates, patent descriptions, open competition documents, construction calculations, etc. Depending on the field, technical translations can also include translations of marketing material.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TECHNICAL AND STANDARD TRANSLATIONS?
Technical translations can be said to differ from standard texts in the same way that standard texts differ from highly specialized texts – in terms of subject coverage, vocabulary purpose, and addressee. They require not only excellent language skills but also knowledge of the field, use of documents, terminology, and names. A complex open competition documentation or a grant application for a research and development project can only be deciphered and translated by someone with a thorough understanding of the process and its many nuances. Besides, only someone who knows the topic can translate it accurately and in a way that can be understood by a non-specialist.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN TECHNICAL TRANSLATIONS?
Without a doubt, the main characteristic of technical translations is their descriptive nature. Although in scientific literature this translation process is compared to creation and/or interpretation, this analogy is not appropriate for specialized texts. Technical translations must be accurate not only in form but also in content. There is no room for interpretation. That is why it is important to pay attention to the verified terms, document type and translation procedure practice when conducting technical translations.
TECHNICAL TRANSLATIONS. COMMON MISTAKES
Some of the common mistakes in technical translations are barbarisms, solecisms (incorrect syntax), grammar mistakes, punctuation, and stylistics. Undoubtedly, incoherent terminology, incorrect meaning or interpretation are also considered as mistakes. One of the harshest mistakes – not taking the reader and their needs into account, for example, on a car enthusiast blog or in an online shop, you may come across terms like “pads”, “gas”, or “spoiler”, but in technical documentation, their equivalents are “brake pads”, “accelerator pedal”, and “aerodynamic wing”.
However, sometimes mistakes are also caused by several stages in the work on the text, for example, choosing the right titles, and checking the translation against the original or final editing stage. Similarly, mistakes are more likely to occur if the translation is rushed – it may come out as undertranslation and without a purpose and may therefore not achieve its intended objective.
TECHNICAL TRANSLATIONS. HOW CAN SKRIVANEK’S TECHNICAL TRANSLATION EXPERTS CAN HELP YOUR COMPANY?
Since high-quality and timely technical translations can be the key to a successful business, it is worth entrusting them to partners who know the business. Over the years, “Skrivanek” still leads with this assumption and helps their clients with translation projects of varying complexity.
We save our partners not only from translation but also from the appropriate graphic design of the document, even more, so when the visual in this type of file is often more important than the text. To ensure the integrity of terminology and the text, we create terminology databases.
For technical translations in Vilnius and other Lithuanian cities, “Skrivanek” relies only on translators specialising in the field of the document being translated. This outlook ensures high-quality translations of the technical documents and allows to save clients valuable time. Likewise, technical text translators even correct mistakes that are sometimes made by the drafters of the document.
