Technical Documentation Translation into European Languages
Asiatis translates technical documentation into European languages — operating and maintenance manuals, instructions for use, specifications and technical files — for manufacturers selling into Europe. Structured content, translation memory and a numeric verification pass keep large document sets consistent, accurate and compliant.
- Typical deliverable
- Translated and revised manuals and technical files, structured-content ready
- Turnaround
- Sustained daily capacity; translation memory on product ranges
- Quality level
- TEP plus a numeric verification pass
What technical documentation translation requires
Technical documentation is high-volume, reused across product ranges, and often regulated. It rewards translation memory and structured-content handling, and it demands accuracy on the numbers, units and safety wording that general translation never has to verify.
Structured content. Content authored in DITA or XML is translated with tags preserved and modules reused, so identical sections across a range translate once and stay consistent.
Translation memory. A translation memory means updates and new models reuse existing translations, cutting cost and keeping terminology stable across years of documentation.
Numeric verification. A dedicated pass checks figures, units, tolerances and decimal separators against the source, because a converted unit is a technical fact with safety consequences.
Compliance-ready. Safety instructions and IFUs are produced to the relevant standards (ISO 20607, IEC 82079-1) in the languages CE marking requires for each market.
Key facts
- Structured content (DITA/XML) is translated with tags preserved and modules reused.
- Translation memory keeps product ranges consistent and reduces cost on updates.
- A numeric verification pass checks figures, units and tolerances.
- Safety content is produced to ISO 20607 and IEC 82079-1 where they apply.
- Delivered in the languages CE marking requires for each market.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you work with DITA, XML or other structured content?
- Yes. We translate structured content directly, preserving tags and reusing modules through translation memory, so identical content across a product range is translated once and kept consistent everywhere it appears.
- How does translation memory reduce my costs?
- A translation memory stores previously translated segments, so updates, new models and repeated content reuse existing translations rather than being re-translated, which lowers cost and keeps terminology stable across releases.
- How do you make sure figures and units are correct?
- A dedicated numeric verification pass checks figures, units, decimal separators and tolerances against the source, separately from linguistic revision, because these are technical facts with safety and liability consequences.
- Can you produce documentation to CE-marking language requirements?
- Yes. Manuals, safety instructions and IFUs are produced in the official language(s) each market requires under CE marking, to the relevant standards such as ISO 20607 and IEC 82079-1.
- Which European languages do you cover for technical documentation?
- All the major European targets — German, French, Italian, Polish and the rest — with native technical linguists, because product documentation is required in the language of each market of sale.
