What is Technical Translation?
Technical translation is a very specialized type of translation involving the translation of materials usually produced by technical writers dealing with scientific and technological subject areas and using the specialized terminology of the scientific or technical field involved. As far as output is concerned, it is the largest subset of professional translation. Technical translation requires a high level of subject knowledge and mastery of the relevant terminology. It also requires a focus on the purpose of the translation and on the targeted audience. The types of materials that might qualify as needing technical translation are varied ranging from articles of scientific, medical, engineering, and technical journals to a product spec sheet for a computer.

Specialized Technical Translators
Technical translation requires the utilization of a technical translator – a specialized translator with a good understanding of the subject matter and a sound knowledge of the specialized terms of that field in both the source and the target languages. A successful technical translator should have an understanding of other subjects, such as information technology, usability engineering, construction materials and technical communication, among others. The role of the technical translator is to not only be a transmitter of information because sometimes technical terms do not have direct translations in the target language. In some cases, the technical translator is expected to create new meanings and terms in seeking to produce technical information that are totally new to the target language and/or target audience.
Often, translators may have an area of expertise, and may be very familiar with certain terminology and texts. However, when a translator cannot learn all of the subject knowledge, he could do some research, consult with experts or have some training. Here at Access Centre we have a network of specialized experts to consult with, when needed. We provide our translators with continuous training and we give particular emphasis to research. Research enables translators to have a good and solid understanding of the basic technologies and principles involved. Our translators make use of tools such as glossaries, encyclopedias and technical dictionaries. In order to facilitate this, we have allocated a considerable space at our premises for a library of specialized books and dictionaries.
Our team of technical translators at Access Center in Qatar and Oman has proven experience and a solid understanding of various specific fields of expertise. They have extensive technological knowledge in disciplines such as engineering, telecommunications, IT sectors, sports, commerce, marketing and many other specialized professions. We can assure you that your texts will be translated by people who understand your business and know your industry.
