Giving Clients Every Advantage in Technical Manual Translation

Boston, Mass. – Language Connections, a translation company with nearly three decades of experience, recently worked on a technical manual translation project for an international medical device company.  For this project, we translated 5 technical manuals from English to German.  As is our usual operating procedure, we offered our client as many advantages as possible to optimize their experience working with us.

Technical manual translation in the medical field

The first advantage Language Connections offered this medical translation company was at the outset of the process.  Members of our corporate translation services team conducted a free sample translation and presented it to our client so they could feel confident in our ability to translate documents.  This was especially necessary on such a large project.

The second advantage we applied was to save the client time and money by using MTPE (machine translation post-editing) and searching for repetitions in the text.  MTPE makes the translation process exponentially faster, turning out a very raw translation of the source text.  A translator can then spend far less time working (and charging the client), only needing to polish and edit the text where the machine translation handled the language poorly or awkwardly.  In a similar vein, repetitions can save a great deal of time and money.  When we use a computer program to identify repetitions, we can shave off time spent translating.  This time saved is also, of course, money saved.  Combined with the free test translation, these money and time-saving techniques set our services apart in the world of global business translation services.

Results

Language Connections ensures that every professional translating project is handled with an eye to the highest standards for our clients.  This is because our clients hold themselves to the highest standards.  With projects like this one, precision is critical, especially because the medical field is often a matter of life and death.  Our commitment to this principle makes us one of the best language service companies in the Boston area.
