Expert Technical Translation
by Engineers & Developers
Precision technical translation for engineering, manufacturing, IT, and scientific documentation. Our technical translators combine linguistic expertise with deep subject-matter knowledge to deliver technically and scientifically accurate translations that comply with industry standards.
Why Technical Translation Requires Specialized Expertise
Technical documents contain specialized terminology, complex concepts, and precise specifications that general translators often misinterpret — leading to costly errors, safety risks, and compliance failures.
Common Translation Errors
- • “Tolerance” (engineering spec) → “tolerance” (acceptance)
- • “Bug fix” → “insect repair”
- • “Thread” (screw thread) → “thread” (conversation)
- • Safety warnings mistranslated, creating liability
- • Technical specs rendered unusable for manufacturing
Auerbach’s Approach
- • Engineers translate engineering documents
- • Developers translate software and IT content
- • Industry-specific terminology databases
- • Multi-level technical review process
- • Format preservation for diagrams and layouts
Our translators speak three languages: yours, their mother tongue and your field of technology.

Our 6-Step Technical Translation Process
Rigorous quality control ensures technical accuracy, terminology consistency, and format preservation
Subject-Matter Expert Selection
We match your document with a translator who has relevant technical background. Mechanical engineers translate mechanical docs, software developers translate IT documentation.
Translation with Terminology Management
The translator uses custom glossaries and translation memories to ensure consistent terminology. Technical terms are researched and verified against industry standards.
Technical Review
A second subject-matter expert reviews the translation for technical accuracy, terminology consistency, and compliance with industry standards.
Linguistic Proofreading
A native-speaking linguist proofreads for grammar, style, and cultural appropriateness while preserving technical meaning.
Desktop Publishing (if needed)
DTP specialists recreate the original layout in the target language, ensuring diagrams, tables, and formatting match the source document.
Final Quality Check
The project manager performs a final review to ensure all requirements are met, formatting is correct, and delivery is complete.
