Terminology drift across a document set is the actual risk — not a single mistranslated word.

What this is

Technical translation fails quietly — a wrong term on page 40 that contradicts page 4 doesn’t announce itself, it just costs a support call, a warranty dispute or a safety complaint six months later. We translate manuals, datasheets, specifications, SOPs and export-market documentation for engineering firms and manufacturers across the Rhine-Main industrial corridor, with a subject-matter-matched translator and a maintained glossary for any client we work with repeatedly.

This is the service built for a relationship, not a one-off page: once we’ve built your glossary and style reference, every following document is faster to quote and more consistent with the last one.

Because technical volumes and formats vary (structured XML, InDesign, plain Word, CAD-linked content), we quote rather than sell an instant per-word checkout here — the quote confirms format handling as well as price.

Why this is quoted

Technical volumes, source formats and glossary requirements vary enough that a fair per-word price needs a look at the actual material first.

Frequently asked questions

Can you work directly in our CMS or authoring tool?

Often, yes — tell us the format in your enquiry (XML, DITA, InDesign, and similar are common) and we’ll confirm handling before quoting.

Do you keep a glossary across multiple projects?

Yes, for any client we work with repeatedly — it’s how later documents get faster to quote and more consistent.

What if our manual has embedded diagrams with text?

Tell us in the enquiry — diagram text is usually handled as a separate short line item alongside the main document.

Is this suitable for a large, ongoing volume relationship?

Yes — this page is built for exactly that; recurring clients get consistent pricing and a maintained glossary from the second project onward.
