Document translation
Description
Document translation goes beyond replacing words. It combines linguistic expertise, subject-matter knowledge and advanced translation technology to ensure accuracy, readability and local relevance.
Professional document translation covers a wide range of materials – including product manuals, legal agreements, financial reports, HR policies, eLearning content and marketing content. Each document type requires specialized terminology management and formatting to meet regulatory and brand requirements. Modern document translation uses Translation Management Systems (TMS), Translation memory (TM) databases and Machine translation (MT) with Machine translation post-editing (MTPE / post-editing) to improve speed and consistency. Quality assurance processes such as terminology validation and linguistic review guarantee precision, while automation tools streamline file preparation, version control and delivery.

- Localization: Localizing marketing, legal or HR materials for regional compliance.
- Technical reports: Converting technical and scientific reports for global research and collaboration.
