Localisation Of Your Technical Document

There is far more to localisation of French technical documents than meets the eye. German draughting standards may differ from those in other languages, so local and subject-specific expertise is important. We can work to your own glossary of technical terms, ensuring that your technical document conforms to your house style or existing technical standards.

Good documentation is critical to the success of any technical product. We are all familiar with the frustration caused by poorly translated assembly instructions for something as simple as flat-pack furniture. Business users can't afford such frustration; if your technical document doesn't meet their internal requirements, your products or services will be rejected. There are many reasons why local German companies will be given preference in awarding contracts. Don't let the quality of your German technical document be one of them.

The very fact that your technical document is important enough to be translated into German means that it will often involve and reflect the latest developments. Both the translator and editor of your technical document must have current knowledge and active involvement in the subject and we will guarantee this.

Specialist knowledge on the part of the translator is as important as it is to the writer of the original technical document. For example, using a general scientist to translate a mathematical paper risks errors of terminology which may be unnoticeable to lay readers but transparently obvious to German mathematicians. As these are obviously the intended audience, the slightest error would damage your credibility. We will work with you to ensure our understanding of your French technical document is correct and that our German localisation is written in a style appropriate to your target audience.

French - German Localisation

We use professional translators who work only in their mother tongue and in specialist fields. French - German localisation of your technical document will be provided by native German speakers equally fluent in French. Your translated document should not give any indication that it was ever written in French at all. It should read like an original German technical document. This involves such considerations as that French idioms and metaphors should not be translated at all. They should be replaced by the corresponding German phrases. The correct idioms of just five or ten years ago may sound completely out of place today. Language changes by the day, and only German speakers immersed in German daily life and culture will be able to keep up with such trends.

French - German Localisation Requirements

Your French - German localisation should be concise, accurate, and comprehensible. It is easy to make a word-for-word translation from French to German and produce a technical document which is completely unintelligible. We have all laughed at instructions which have been translated from German to something which bears only a passing resemblance to English. Do not expose your company to the kind of ridicule such a poor localisation of your technical document provokes.
