Translation Subject Matter Experts

Would you have an engineer do your taxes?  Or an artist fix your car?  I sure hope not. 

For the same reasons you wouldn’t want these people to do your taxes or fix your car – you don’t want just anybody translating your text.  Especially when the document is technical in nature.  Technical Translations are a very specific niche type of translation that requires uncommon text or vocabulary and utilizes specialized translators with degrees/expertise in engineering, law, finance, software, owner’s manuals, user guides, software, etc.  These types of documents are usually targeting an audience of specialized  reviewers that would not be generally understood by the general public. 

When translating your documents be sure to use folks that are

subject matter experts for your industry or need.  This will ensure that your intended audience will understand your materials and not be left feeling confused.
