    Terminology Consistency with Translation Memory & Termbases

    Technical translation is not just about getting today’s document right it’s about keeping tomorrow’s documents consistent. We use Translation Memory and termbases to ensure that your terminology, product names, and technical phrases are used consistently across manuals, datasheets, SOPs, and software materials, year after year.

    Translation Memory for efficiency and consistency

    Translation Memory for efficiency and consistency

    We maintain Translation Memories for your projects, so repeated and similar content is translated consistently and more efficiently over time. This reduces cost, speeds up updates, and keeps your documentation aligned across versions and product generations.

    Termbases for controlled terminology

    Termbases for controlled terminology

    We create and maintain termbases (glossaries) for your key terms, product names, component descriptions, and technical phrases. These are applied across all your documents, so “the same thing” is always called the same thing.

    Support for client‑provided glossaries

    Support for client‑provided glossaries

    If you already have internal glossaries or preferred terminology, we integrate them into our process and apply them across all translations.

    Consistency across product lines and markets

    Consistency across product lines and markets

    Whether you’re updating a single manual or launching a new product line in multiple languages, we use your Translation Memory and termbases to keep everything consistent and controlled.

    Reduced risk, clearer documentation

    Reduced risk, clearer documentation

    Consistent terminology reduces confusion, support tickets, and operational risk. Your teams and customers see the same terms, used the same way, in every document.

    Security & Confidentiality as Standard

    Technical documentation often contains proprietary designs, processes, and product information.
    We treat that content with the same level of care you do.

    • NDA by defaultWe are happy to work under your NDA or provide our own, so
      confidentiality is formally in place from the outset.
    • Secure file transferFiles are exchanged using secure channels, with options
      for encrypted transfer where required.
    • Controlled accessOnly the project team working on your documents has access
      to your files. We do not share your content with unrelated third parties.
    • Encrypted storageProject files are stored securely, with appropriate
      technical and organisational measures to protect your information.
    • Optional secure archivingIf you require long‑term access to translated
      materials, we can retain them securely for future updates and reference, under agreed
      retention policies.

    Accuracy That Reduces Risk

    In technical environments, a mistranslated instruction or ambiguous term is more than an inconvenience it can lead to safety incidents, downtime, or compliance issues. Our approach to technical translation is built around reducing that risk.

    icon

    Bilingual technical reviewers

    Where appropriate, translations are reviewed by experienced linguists with technical understanding, ensuring that the language is not only correct, but technically sound.

    icon

    Terminology checks

    We systematically check terminology against your termbases, glossaries, and industry standards to avoid inconsistent or incorrect usage.

    icon

    Layout and diagram checks

    We pay attention to how text appears in diagrams, tables, callouts, and labels, ensuring that the translated content still fits and makes sense in context.

    icon

    Zero‑omission, context‑driven translation

    We do not summarise, compress, or “simplify away” content. Every instruction, warning, and note is translated in full, with context taken into account.
