of technical documentation and specialist texts

Technical translations have one thing in common: they form the access point to the construction, operation and use of technical products. In addition, they communicate product benefits and advantages, and exert a significant marketing impact directly on the user. As a result, structure, comprehensibility and user-friendliness are paramount in all our technical translations.

Technical translations of the highest quality

In addition to excellent language skills, a first-class technical translation also requires specific technical expertise. Schweickhardt Das Übersetzungsbüro is a company certified in accordance with ISO 17100 with decades of experience in the technology field. We guarantee translations of the highest quality and translate technical texts of all types, such as operating instructions, product data sheets, patents and much more. Our technical translators have the necessary know-how which enables us to ensure that your documents are translated in a technically and terminologically correct manner. Many well-known companies in the fields of mechanical engineering, chemistry, IT technology, renewable energies and many more have already entrusted us with their technical translations.

Technical translation with comprehensible presentation in text and images

Since for many years we have also been able to deliver our translations directly in the design, our translators always work on presenting images and text in a comprehensible manner. We have the necessary experience in handling content management systems even for larger volumes of documentation. As a result, your documents become more than a simple technical description.

Certified quality for the highest requirements: translation of technical documentation

Companies which put technical products on the market have the legal obligation to supply accompanying documentation in the relevant national language of their export market (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, article 5 paragraph 3 or EMC Directive 2004/108/EC, appendix II no. 8).

Schweickhardt Das Übersetzungsbüro has been dealing with existing standards for almost 40 years – after all, we are one of the few translation agencies in Austria certified in accordance with the ISO 17100 standard. For you this means:

• Controlled quality due to standardised procedures and native-speaker experts
• Experience and routine in handling extensive documentation
• Documentation of the entire translation process and long-term document management
• Coordination and compliance with existing standards depending on your requirements

Technical terminology for technical translations

Technical terms are hugely important in technical texts. With sensitive texts in particular, which involve the safety of people who are operating the relevant technical equipment, it is immensely important that they are translated accurately. Operating instructions and process descriptions are just a few examples of this.

Schweickhardt Das Übersetzungsbüro therefore carries out constant terminology management. We use a translation memory system to determine the technical terms used for every single customer and record them in the associated term base. This enables both efficient and reliable translation.
