It\u2019s important for any translation company to build a team of technical translators who have the necessary skills and knowledge to translate texts in different specialized fields. But what is technical translation? What sets it apart? And what fields is it associated with? Read this article to discover the answers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What exactly do we mean by \u201ctechnical translation?\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s begin with a little clarification. Broadly speaking, \u201ctechnical translation\u201d is a term that includes all the specialized fields of translation, such as legal<\/a>, administrative, financial, medical, and scientific translation. In this sense, technical translation is quite unlike literary translation. However, in a stricter sense, the expression refers to translation in fields related to technology and applied techniques. It\u2019s this second meaning that we\u2019ll stick to in this article.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In which fields can a technical translation company be called on to work?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A translation company may offer its technical translation<\/a> services to clients who work in the following fields, among others:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Engineering<\/a><\/p>\n

IT and telecommunications<\/p>\n

Automotive<\/a> industry and transportation<\/p>\n

Electricity and electronics<\/p>\n

Manufacturing industry<\/p>\n

Aviation and aerospace<\/p>\n

Natural resources and mines<\/p>\n

Energy and the environment<\/p>\n

Building and construction<\/p>\n

Metalworking<\/p>\n

Chemistry and petrochemistry<\/p>\n

Agri-food<\/p>\n

Biotechnology<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the biggest challenges associated with translation in these technical fields?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Without a doubt, one of the biggest challenges for technical translators is terminology. With any luck, translators will be able to find a specialized glossary that will help them in their work. However, as technical fields evolve very quickly, we constantly see new terms being created. The technical translators at a translation company therefore have to spend a lot of time researching terminology. Sometimes, they even have to use their creativity to create new ones when there aren\u2019t yet equivalent terms in the language of the translation.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the translators at a technical translation company need to know how to tailor their approach to the target audience. A technical text intended for the general public (such as a user manual for a device) must be made accessible so that the Average Joe (or Jane) can understand it, while a text intended for technical specialists requires more advanced research to find the terms and expressions used in the field in question.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What skills must the technical translators at a translation company possess?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The translators at a translation company who work in these fields must possess a double knowledge. On one hand, they must have a perfect mastery of the language of the translation in order to produce idiomatic translations. On the other hand, they must also have sufficient knowledge of the technical field in question to understand the concepts, processes, terminology, how the devices work, etc.<\/p>\n

It should be noted, however, that a technical translator who is familiar with nuclear energy, for example, won\u2019t necessarily also be an IT specialist. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to find a technical translation company that can offer you the services of translators who are familiar with your particular field.<\/p>\n
