German to English technical translation for machine builders
Operating manuals, maintenance instructions, specifications and safety notes, translated from German into English by a mechanical engineer, in your own terminology, at a fixed price agreed before work starts.
Who this is for
You write or manage technical documentation at a small or mid-size machine builder in Germany. Your machines sell abroad, and every one of them needs an English manual. Fernwood Technical Translation does one thing: technical translation for machine builders, from German into English.
What you might use today
-
Machine translation
Fast, but one of your own engineers then reviews every page and corrects the technical terms.
-
A large agency
Many translators across many subjects. The person on your next manual may not be the one on your last.
-
A generalist freelancer
Translates many kinds of text. Machine documentation is one subject among several.
What is different here
-
An engineer who translates
Jo Fernwood trained as a mechanical engineer, so the translation starts from how the machine works.
-
Only machine documentation
Operating manuals, maintenance instructions, specifications and safety notes. No other kind of text.
-
Your terminology, kept
You send a terminology list, or Jo builds one with you on the first job. It is used on every later job.
-
A fixed price first
The work is priced per word. You agree one fixed price before any work starts.
What that gives you
- Fewer review rounds for your own engineers, because the translator already understands the machine.
- The same English word for the same part, in every manual you publish.
- A known translation cost before the job begins.
