In technical translation, the translator must be an expert in the field in question. A translator can produce such good marketing texts, but this is of little use when translating safety regulations for an industrial machine. Precisely because technical texts are often directly related to health and safety, it is important that they are translated by a specialist.
Technical texts often contain more illustrations than other types of text. For example, most manuals are illustrated with pictures to make it clear to the reader exactly what to do. It's just a bit strange if the main text is written in Dutch, but the text in a picture is still in another language. So it's best to choose a translation agency with dtp knowledge so that your entire technical text is translated.
Especially with technical translations, you want to use a translation agency that has the right certifications. Technical texts must meet certain standards in order to be published abroad. With a technical translation agency that has ISO certifications, you can be sure that your technical text will be accepted abroad. So look for a translation agency with the ISO 17100 and 18587 certificates that guarantee, among other things, that a translation is proofread at least once by someone else.
Especially when you need technical translations more often, it is useful to choose a technical translation agency that allows integration with a 'PIM system'. PIM stands for Product Information Management. In short, such a system allows you to centralize your information flow. What does this mean? Among other things, it means you no longer have to manually cut and paste product information. All technical information is stored centrally and automatically ends up in the right place. This saves you and the translation agency a lot of time and effort.
