Premier league: Scientific and technical specialist translations.
Technical texts use especially complex terminology and demand very particular specialist knowledge, know-how and professionalism from the translator. Just about everyone has at some point either been frustrated or amused by nonsensical user guides.

However the fun ends right away when a human life is endangered because of imprecisely translated technical instructions. For the translation of technical texts and documents, Lingua-World exclusively entrusts academically qualified native-speaking translators from the specialist area of technology and engineering.

• Technical translation of user handbooks, service manuals, user manuals, and technical instructions
• Translation of technical handbooks, workbooks and software
• Technical specialist translation of safety guidelines
• Translation of training materials

Formulations that are inexact or have a double meaning are especially unacceptable in technical translations, whereas highly specific knowledge of the subject for every subject area is essential. The Lingua-World translators don’t just do “technical English – Afrikaans”, they also translate technical documents into and out of over 180 languages and dialects.
A long standing, well-maintained, and comprehensive database with the appropriate specialist terminology serves as additional support for our specialist translators. The available terminology is then aligned with the wording of the client.
