Translation Of Your Technical Document
There is far more to translation of German technical documents than meets the eye. French 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 French companies will be given preference in awarding contracts. Don't let the quality of your French technical document be one of them.
The very fact that your technical document is important enough to be translated into French 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 French 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 German technical document is correct
and that our French translation is written in a style appropriate to your target audience.
German - French Translation
We use professional translators who work only in their mother tongue and in specialist fields.
German - French translation of your technical document will be provided by native French speakers
equally fluent in German. Your translated document should not give any indication
that it was ever written in German at all. It should read like an original French
technical document. This involves such considerations as that German idioms and metaphors
should not be translated at all. They should be replaced by the corresponding French
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 French speakers immersed in French
daily life and culture will be able to keep up with such trends.
German - French Translation Requirements
Your German - French translation should be concise, accurate, and comprehensible. It is
easy to make a word-for-word translation from German to French and produce a technical document
which is completely unintelligible. We have all laughed at instructions which have been
translated from French to something which bears only a passing resemblance to English.
Do not expose your company to the kind of ridicule such a poor translation of your technical document provokes.
