Services
- Which services does MSM techtrans offer?
MSM techtrans specialises in translation of technical manuals and documents, but also has significant experience with more general texts.
- Why should I have my documents translated?
If, for example, you have a product you want to bring to market and to reach the largest possible client base, translation is the only option. Making your product accessible to an international audience will open up the market for you and dramatically increase your potential client base.
If you are an importer of machine tools or technical plants, the instruction manual must be in a language the operator understands. This is particularly important for safety instructions. Essentially, there are as many reasons for wanting your text translated, as there are types of text.
Communication between people is the bottom line. Errors in communication can have a significant knock-on effect in terms of your business.
- Why technical translations?
In order to translate highly technical texts, one needs specialist knowledge in that particular field. For example, if you need a legal text translated, a lawyer with a translation degree would be the ideal choice, as would a civil engineer with a translation degree for a demanding technical text in the construction field. Unfortunately, one rarely finds such combinations of professions when you need them most.
Consequently, experienced technical translators provide an optimal alternative.Many of them are experts within various technical fields and are highly talented linguists: put simply, they are multi-talented individuals.
