The Localize Pros Advantage

Why Engineering Leaders Trust Our Technical Translation

Technical accuracy requires genuine engineering comprehension rather than basic language fluency alone. Here is how our specialists guarantee perfection.

Qualified Industry Engineers

Our translators hold degrees and verified work experience in engineering, computing, chemical processing, and robotics. They understand electrical schematics, hydraulic circuits, and CNC codes natively.

Translation Memory & Cost Reductions

We build a secure Translation Memory (TM) for your enterprise. Repetitive paragraphs, warning callouts, and manual updates are automatically reused, saving you up to 40% on future document iterations.

Bank-Grade Confidentiality & NDAs

Your proprietary blueprints, unreleased patent claims, and industrial secrets are protected under strict legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and encrypted ISO 27001 data transfer protocols.

Turnaround Matched to Production Deadlines

We understand project milestones, product rollout timelines, and international shipping dates. Expedited same-day and 24-hour turnaround options are available without skipping technical QA checks.

Have Technical Files Ready for Review?

Upload your schematics, PDFs, or manuals for a fast, confidential assessment and fixed-price quote within 2 hours.

ISO 17100 Methodology

Our Technical Translation Process in 4 Steps

1

Extraction & Glossary Setup

We ingest your documentation (InDesign, CAD, Word, XML), analyze repeated segments, and build an approved engineering terminology glossary.

2

Subject Engineer Translation

A native technical linguist with engineering credentials in your specific sub-sector executes the translation adhering to technical standards.

3

Peer Technical QA & DTP

A second senior engineer audits numerical tolerances, schematics, and units. Desktop publishing (DTP) experts restore diagrams and layout exactly.

4

Final Certification & Delivery

Delivered in publish-ready format with ISO 17100 certificate of accuracy. Your Translation Memory is updated for instant future savings.

Common Questions

Technical Translation Frequently Asked Questions

How do you guarantee accuracy in highly complex engineering translations?
We achieve near-zero error rates by pairing professional native translators with degrees or background in your specific engineering discipline (e.g., mechanical, electrical, chemical, or civil). Furthermore, every project follows the ISO 17100 standard: a mandatory independent peer review by a second technical specialist who checks calculations, abbreviations, component references, and regulatory compliance.
What file formats can you handle for technical drawings and manuals?
We work directly with virtually all technical and desktop publishing formats, including AutoCAD (.dwg, .dxf), Adobe InDesign (.indd, .idml), PTC Arbortext, Adobe FrameMaker (.mif), XML, HTML, JSON, Microsoft Word, and high-resolution vector PDFs. Our multilingual DTP team extracts text, translates within CAT tools, and rebuilds callout labels without disturbing your original layer formatting.
How does Translation Memory save costs on technical documentation?
Technical manuals often contain substantial repetition (safety warnings, standard component lists, recurring operation steps). A Translation Memory (TM) securely stores translated segments. When you update a manual from Version 2.0 to Version 2.1, you only pay full rates for newly modified paragraphs. Repeated and previously approved segments receive significant cost discounts, saving up to 40% over time.
Are your translations certified for UK and EU regulatory compliance?
Yes. Localize Pros is certified under ISO 17100 (Translation Services Management) and ISO 9001. We provide formal Certificates of Translation Accuracy acceptable by UK government bodies, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the European Patent Office (EPO), and notified bodies inspecting CE/UKCA marking documentation.
Can you sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) for confidential patents and prototypes?
Yes, absolutely. We routinely sign bilateral NDAs before reviewing preliminary design briefs, unfiled patent applications, and proprietary manufacturing specifications. All linguists, engineers, and project managers on our team are bound by strict non-disclosure contracts, and your files are processed in an encrypted, access-controlled environment.
How fast can you translate a 100-page engineering manual?
A typical 100-page manual (approx. 25,000 words) usually requires 7 to 10 working days for full engineering translation, technical peer review, and DTP formatting. For urgent product launches or maintenance shutdowns, we deploy dedicated multi-linguist teams managed under unified cloud glossaries to deliver completed manuals in as little as 3 to 5 working days. Contact us for an immediate timetable.
