Manufacturing and Engineering
Translations
Bespoke services for your project. We deliver consistent and accurate translations by creating bespoke glossaries for all your technical terms
At Intertranslations, we help global companies cross linguistic barriers and make the most of the global economy.
Nowadays, manufacturing takes place across multiple countries and involves several different languages. This means professional translation services are more important than ever when it comes to ensuring a smooth and efficient production process.
From automotive and chemical to machinery and construction, we have all your translation needs covered, no matter which industry you work in.
Translations to suit your needs
When it comes to translating manufacturing and engineering documents, we know that you need a bespoke approach with specialist translation skills.
Using advanced translation technologies and working with experienced translators, we tailor our services to suit your needs. That way, we can deliver quality translations on time and within budget.
Our services range from human translations by native speakers of your target language, to advanced machine translation using specialist engines trained in your industry. Depending on why you need your translation, we will help you choose the right service for you.
Who do we work with?
Technical translations involve complex documents which pose a number of challenges for the translator. Many of our clients come to us after experiencing these challenges, looking for a specialist approach with better results.
Our list of clients ranges from technical directors and plant managers, to engineers and document control managers. We also work with a number of architects, marketing executives, and administrative assistants.
Whether you are need a professional translation for official or internal use, we can tailor our services to your specific needs.
Whatever challenges you might be facing, we have the solution.
Are you spending too much time on corrections and editing?
We can deliver files that are ready to publish, following ISO 17100:2015 standards at every stage of the translation process.
We offer T.E.P. (Translation, Editing and Proofreading) by vetted teams of native speakers and subject specialists.
Are you paying for repetitions?
From our experience, manufacturing and engineering documents involve a lot of repeated text. This can greatly increase the overall cost of your project.
Using specialised translation management tools, we analyse your files and apply a discount to any repetitions that we find. We only charge for the work we do, which means you will never be overcharged for a translation.
Struggling to find an efficient way to manage terminology?
When managing terminology, spreadsheets and Excel files can get confusing and make it difficult to visualise data clearly.
At the start of a new project, we create a term base (glossary) containing any key terminology. The customer can then confirm the translation of those terms in advance, helping guarantee high quality translations first time round.
Looking for quality translations by subject specialists and native translators?
We only employ native translators. We also have a wide network of subject specialists who are ready to offer their knowledge and expertise when required.
Do you need a certified translation?
We are ISO 17100:2015 certified and can provide certificates of accuracy.
Do you use tools like CAD, Madcap, Visio or InDesign? Do you work with different files formats, such as .dxf, .xml, .json, .po or .xliff?
We have an in-house team of graphic designers working in our dedicated desktop publishing (DTP) department. This means we can offer document formatting free of charge.
We can work with almost any type of document, so whatever programs you use, your translations will be ready to go.
Does your source text contain images that cannot be edited?
Our graphic designers have the expertise needed to extract text contained in images and send it to our translators. We then deliver the image back to you, containing the text in the target language.
Concerned about confidentiality?
We take security very seriously. We are ISO 27001:2013, Cyber Essentials Certified and GDPR compliant. All our staff, both internal and freelancers, sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
Need a translation agency that can guarantee quality and has indemnity insurance?
We cover our services with a 10 million GBP indemnity insurance policy, and we are very happy to say that in our 25 years of operation, we have never made a claim.
How do we charge for a translation?
We quote per project, on a per-word basis. This excludes the cost of repetitions.
We use specialised translation management tools to analyse files and find repetitions, so you will only be charged once for the translation of repeated text.
We will also create translation memories for your project and a glossary of key terms. This means that whenever you send new files for translation, we can cross check the content against your previous translations and only charge for new content.
Are you spending too much money translating documents to a high standard, when a basic translation would suffice?
The best solution is to use Advanced Machine Translation (AMT). Superior to sites like Google Translate, this technology is designed to learn languages much like the human brain does.
Drawing on 25-years’ worth of data from our library of human translation projects, we have trained our neural machines to the highest standard. This has allowed us to create memory pools for a number of industries, including construction, automotive, manufacturing and engineering.
Our AMT is an affordable option that delivers impressive results. We also offer a sample page free of charge, so you can see the standard of quality and check if this is the right option for you.
Do you have tight deadlines?
We can deliver editable documents within 2 hours, and non-editable documents in just a few days.

Translation Solutions we offer you
Translation, Editing & Proofreading
This service includes translation, editing and proofreading by native speakers and subject matter experts. Following ISO 17100:2015 standards, we offer all our clients a Certificate of Accuracy if required. This verifies that the translations we produce are accurate, complete and true.
Post-Editing
Our specialist team of post-editors will edit and revise advanced machine translations. This combines the speed of machine translation with the sensitivity of human linguists, giving you the best of both worlds.
Depending on your needs, you can choose whether you would like one post-editor, or a team of both a post editor and a revisor. Not sure? Get in touch and we can advise on what would be the best option for you.
Advanced Machine Translation
We have trained our neural translation machines on a variety of specialist subject areas. Using thousands of translations created over the course of 25 years, our machines are able to recognise similar content and produce a draft translation with impressive results.
Although this can lack the fluency and sensitivity of a human linguist, this is a cost-effective solution that saves on time.
