Technical terms translation is a complicated subject that requires not only an understanding of the source and target languages, as with most translation projects, but also a deep knowledge of specialized terminology and jargon that may be confusing or wholly unknown to the public at large.
A qualified technical translator must possess these three key features in order to ensure that any technical terms in your project are translated accurately:
- A background in technology, especially in whichever specialized niche or field you may work in; a network may refer to one thing for someone in a corporate IT department and something else entirely for a web developer, for example, and a good technical translator should be able to differentiate and translate the terms accurately for a given field.
- Speaks the target language of your project natively. The simple fact is, people understand their native language inherently, on a subconscious level that doesn't require as much thought as additional, learned languages. Technical translations involve a lot of terminology that may seemingly have a separate, literal meaning (such as a "bug," for example). For these projects, a native-speaking translator is absolutely necessary for the best quality translation of technical terms.
- Lives in the country your project is targeted to, if necessary. If your project involves translating a technical manual for use overseas, for example, we'll find a translator who lives in the country the manual is to be used in; this way, any local quirks, phrases, or other nuances that may differ from country to country, or even region to region, can be interpreted in a way that is recognizable and understandable to whomever the translation is intended.
