Technical translations are handled by translators specializing in specific industries. They are often professionally involved in the fields related to the content they translate.
The key factor is the subject matter expertise of the technical translator in the domain of the project. It is equally important that this knowledge is practically applicable and verifiable.
Our translation agency has been certified every three years in accordance with ISO 17100:2015 Translation Services. As per the standard, our translators must possess appropriate qualifications and skills for the translations they perform.
We offer end-to-end support in technical translation, covering industries from automotive and machinery design and construction to civil engineering and technical web content and IT documentation.
In addition to a properly qualified translator, we offer proofreading by a native speaker or, if needed, a domain-specific expert to ensure the highest level of content quality.
For complex documents, we ensure finalization from the technical side, meaning layout alignment of text and graphics, formatting, etc., to match the original.
The key element in delivering technical translations is the involvement of a technical translator who should possess subject matter knowledge, preferably with hands-on experience. Only such a translator can guarantee a translation free from factual errors.
Ideally, the specialized translator should also be a native speaker of the target language. However, such translators are not always available.
Our comprehensive service guarantees high-quality translations both in terms of content and language.
When domain-specific specialists are lacking, our translation agency relies on highly skilled technical translators, even if they are not translating into their native language.
In such cases, the translation is followed by proofreading performed by a native speaker, whose task is to ensure linguistic fluency and polish.
A key advantage of our comprehensive service is the team of project managers and staff focused on the technical side of translation.
Our experienced managers, who have overseen countless technical translation projects, are adept at anticipating potential issues and implementing procedures to prevent them.
Our in-house technical department handles the technical execution of projects. Thousands of completed technical translation projects—in the most exotic languages and across diverse file formats and software platforms—form a priceless base of expertise that benefits every new assignment.
We resolve every technical challenge—from layout and alignment of text and graphics to fonts and replacing the source text with a translation—all while preserving the integrity of the original document structure.
Our project managers and IT department work hand-in-hand to ensure maximum quality control and top-tier translation quality—a crucial factor in technical translations.
Both our in-house team and our technical translation experts utilize the latest Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools to guarantee precision and consistency across every project.
Technical documents often require more advanced software than Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel. For such projects, Desktop Publishing (DTP) applications are commonly used. Many documents are also produced in XML format, especially when intended for content management systems.
Our translation agency places great importance on the proper application of CAT tools. We use advanced software such as Transit and Trados.
These tools allow translators to work faster and more accurately during the translation process. After completion, they enable thorough quality control to ensure that all guidelines have been followed precisely.
We provide translation services for all major programs and formats. Many technical documents are created using popular applications like Microsoft Word or Excel.
We offer expert technical translations for print and digital publication, including documents designed in desktop publishing tools such as Adobe InDesign or Framemaker.
We also translate XML files, often used in product catalogs. Our team handles even complex structured text files containing device control commands with precision.
Our technical translation services cover in-house corporate files, meeting materials, financial documents, print and digital publications, technical and specialist files, as well as web content. For companies in the technical sector, most processed documents fall into the technical category.
We work with standard formats for each document type. Our translation agency delivers translations in all these and many other file formats, along with corresponding translation memory databases.

Each industry has its own specialized terminology. Our technical translators are familiar with it and use it proficiently. Many terms appear in different variants, and some companies prefer only specific terminology.
To ensure consistent use of precisely defined terminology in our technical translations, we encourage clients to provide their preferred terminology lists.
Thanks to the use of CAT tools, we can effectively maintain consistent application of specific terminology throughout the entire project, strictly following the client's instructions for the technical translation.
In most cases, editing and translating technical documents requires far more than just knowledge of the subject matter. Our IT department has the expertise and experience needed to handle technical translations professionally and comprehensively.
Professional technical translation services go beyond just ensuring translation quality; they also involve managing the technical aspects of the translated files.
Our IT department prepares documents for analysis and translation to precisely assess text volume and ensure effective translation quality control afterward. We utilize CAT tools and our own IT solutions to achieve this.
The IT department checks the text volume, prepares files for analysis and further processing.
We analyze the documents using CAT tools and prepare a quote based on the results.
Once the quote is approved, the prepared files along with the guidelines are sent to the technical translator.
After translation, we verify and refine the files: formatting, layout of text and graphics.
If we receive files in XML format or text documents, we extract the content for translation, and after translation and proofreading, we replace the original text with the translation.
Our translation agency collaborates with specialized translators who provide technical translations in nearly every language we support. These are trusted professional translators from various countries, typically translating into their native language.
This enables us to deliver technical translations not only in major languages like German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, or Central and Eastern European languages such as Hungarian, Romanian, Moldovan, but also in Southern and Eastern languages like Greek, Turkish, Armenian, and even Kazakh, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.
We also deliver technical translations for documents containing multiple language versions. These are typically user manuals and product sheets for exported equipment.
We have extensive experience in translating documents prepared for publication in both print and digital formats using programs such as Indesign, Framemaker, Pagemaker, and other desktop publishing software.
Slavis translation agency also offers certified translations (known as sworn translations). This includes technical translations intended for submission to institutions that require certified documentation.
In such cases, we offer the option to have the translation performed by a sworn translator or, if the technical translation has already been completed, to commission the translator to simply certify the existing translation against the original.

In recent years, technical documents—and their technical translations—are no longer limited to accompanying products but are increasingly featured on websites.
In such cases, website translation often means technical translation. Our translation agency provides comprehensive translation services for these types of technical documents, published by manufacturers or distributors on their websites:
In such cases, we also provide comprehensive website translation services, covering pages where the aforementioned files are hosted, as well as presentations, descriptions, or technical product reviews.
Technical documents published on websites are most often provided as PDF files. Our agency offers PDF translation services for both editable and non-editable files. The completed translation is delivered as either a two-column table (source text – translation) or with the original format preserved.
If needed, we create a new document in a selected tool (Microsoft Word, Adobe InDesign, FrameMaker, etc.) and reconstruct the original layout of text and graphics, delivering the translation in that format.
