Technical Translation
& Industrial
Manuals, specifications, standards, industrial patents: our engineer-translators guarantee absolute technical and terminological precision in 70+ languages across all industrial sectors.
Technical translation:
understanding before translating
Translating a maintenance manual or industrial specification is not something that can be improvised. A generalist translator who does not understand how a hydraulic system, a programmable controller or a chemical process works will produce an inaccurate, and potentially dangerous, translation.
At TranslateBE, our technical translators are engineers or technicians by training before they are translators. They have worked in industry and understand your equipment, your processes and your regulatory constraints. Their expertise guarantees accurate translations that comply with local standards and are immediately usable by your teams.

Industrial rigour at every step
Technical analysis
We analyse the precise technical domain (mechanics, electronics, chemistry…), identify specialist terminology and confirm the availability of a sector expert for the required language pair.
Engineer-translator
Your document is entrusted to an engineer or technician by training, specialised in your sector. They understand how your equipment works, not just the words.
Review & technical validation
A second expert checks terminological consistency, the accuracy of technical data (units, values, references) and compliance with sector standards in the target country.
Delivery in your format
Word, PDF, InDesign, XML, DITA, HTML: we return your translation in the source format for direct integration into your publishing chain or document management system.
Your guarantees for technical translation
Engineer & technician translators
Our technical translators are engineers, technicians or scientists by training. They worked in industry before specialising in translation. They understand your machinery, your processes and your real-world operational constraints.
70+ technical languages
English, German, Dutch, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian and 60+ other languages. We cover all major global industrial markets with native specialists from each region.
Specialised translation memories
Your technical glossaries and translation memories are built from the first project and enriched over time. They guarantee consistent terminology across all your documentation and reduce costs on subsequent projects.
Critical data precision
Torque values, pressures, temperatures, tolerances, part references: every numerical and technical datum is verified and transcribed with rigour. In critical industrial sectors, a translation error can have serious consequences.
Large-volume management
Multi-thousand-page manuals, complete product range documentation, simultaneous updates in 10 languages: we manage large-scale projects with translator teams coordinated by a dedicated project manager.
Guaranteed normative compliance
Our translators are proficient in international standards (ISO, EN, IEC, ASTM, DIN…) and the regulatory requirements of each market (CE marking, ATEX directives, FDA, etc.). Your documentation complies with the standards of the target country.
