About this service

Technical translation requires a translator who has worked in or studied the relevant technical domain. The vocabulary in an engineering manual is not just a list of specialised words; it is a system of concepts and distinctions that someone without domain expertise will use incorrectly even when they recognise the individual terms. We assign technical documents to translators with relevant academic or professional backgrounds in the specific field.

For engineering and manufacturing documents, we work with translators who have engineering or manufacturing backgrounds. For scientific papers, we match translator expertise to the scientific discipline: chemistry, biology, environmental science, agronomy, food science. For pharmaceutical and medical documentation, we work with translators with life sciences qualifications.

Agricultural and food industry translation is a specific strength given our location in the Agrigento province, which is one of the most significant agricultural regions in southern Italy. Almonds, pistachios, olive oil, wine, fresh produce, and processed food products from this region all have growing export programmes that require precise technical and labelling translation. We understand the relevant Italian and EU regulatory frameworks for food products.

Services include engineering and technical manuals, scientific journal papers and conference proceedings, pharmaceutical regulatory documentation, laboratory protocols and research reports, agricultural extension materials and agronomy reports, food product specifications and labelling, patent applications and technical descriptions, and environmental impact documentation.
