What is a technical translation?

A technical translation is the translation of specialist documents from one language into another, requiring a thorough command of technical terminology. Unlike a simple language translation, it requires in-depth sector-specific expertise to convey complex concepts accurately and unambiguously.

It generally encompasses:

  • ensuring terminological accuracy (acronyms, sector-specific glossaries).
  • adapting highly technical documents (engineering guides, patents).
  • overall linguistic consistency through CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) tools.

In the same way as our services at legal translation or at certified translation, this type of translation requires expert linguists specialised in different fields: engineering, IT, medical, etc.

Everything you need to know about technical translation

How much does a technical translation cost?2026-08-13T14:16:14+00:00

The price of a technical translation generally depends on several specific criteria:

  • The volume of text: The calculation is based mainly on the number of words in the source document.
  • Technical complexity: An engineering manual, an industrial patent, or a set of specifications requires more in-depth terminology research than a standard user manual.
  • The file format: Direct translation in specific formats (CAD, InDesign files, source code) may require layout adjustments to provide you with a ready-to-use document.
Can you translate directly onto our diagrams, drawings (CAD files), or InDesign files?2026-09-30T11:33:31+00:00

Yes. We can translate and return your documents in their original formats: whether these are CAD/AutoCAD files, InDesign (IDML) catalogues, or Word or PDF files. Thanks to our integrated DTP (Desktop Publishing) service, the translated documents we deliver to you adhere strictly to the original layout, including the positioning of diagrams, charts and captions.

How do you protect the confidentiality of our documents and technical data?2026-08-13T14:16:14+00:00

The security of your data, product manuals, and intellectual property is our number one priority. All our professional technical translators are bound by the strictest professional confidentiality. At your request, we will always be happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). All file transfers are carried out via secure data channels.

Can AI (machine translation) be used to translate technical documents?2026-09-30T07:57:51+00:00

While AI (machine translation) can be useful in certain contexts, relying on machine translation alone for technical documents carries significant industrial risks. A single mistranslation or inaccurate rendering of a technical term in a maintenance manual or assembly instructions could result in equipment failure—or, more seriously, put user safety at risk. That’s why, at The Language Room, we rely on the precision and expertise of professional human translators. Your documents are handled by linguists with specialist knowledge of your industry, ensuring accurate terminology, consistent technical language and meticulous attention to detail. The result is translation you can rely on—helping protect your workers, your equipment and your reputation.
