Mission statement
All languages are alive:
In other words, languages are constantly changing and developing. The same holds true for all the different technical fields. Keeping updated is a job in itself!
A translator with respect for himself/herself, the client, and the unique nature of each translation, understands the need to limit oneself in terms of which languages to translate from/to and technical fields to operate in.
You will, inevitably, find suppliers of cheap language services who offer “all languages; all technical fields”. If you’re lucky – things will turn out fine. But there’s often a price to pay in terms of quality. Solutions that appear too cheap to be true are normally just that – no solution. Translations that appear reasonably-priced at first glance often work out to be more expensive if they have to be revised as part of a second quality-assurance process, or – in worst-case scenarios – be completely retranslated.
If, for example, you have a product you want to market in another language, it is crucial that the language reflects the quality of your product — if you are to have any chance of convincing the customer to buy it.
Research shows that we willingly accept a spelling mistake or two. However, once we encounter more than a small number of errors, and if the language doesn’t flow well – this can rapidly become an irritant. Consequently, we start to doubt the content of the text, and ultimately lose interest in it completely.
This is a poor strategy for promoting your business, and in extreme situations such texts can have a counter-productive impact on your marketing activities.
With MSM techtrans, your documents are in the safest possible hands!

MSM techtrans also has access to a solid network of professional colleagues. In collaboration with professional colleagues we will deliver a solution we guarantee will satisfy you.
A translation has to go through several stages before it can be considered final.
MSM techtrans applies the following standard to its translation work:
- Review of the source text
- Raw translation. Any issues that have to be cleared up en route?
- Possible consultation with the client. In-house technical terms?
- Comparison of the source text against the target text. Has everything been translated – no items omitted?
- Review of the target text. Does the language flow well? Is it easily readable?
- Final review – with the greatest possible interval from the previous step.
Close cooperation between translator and client, with constructive feedback in both directions, is key. This may involve checking of in-house terminology and technical terms, special product types as well as other issues.
We know from experience that good communication produces the best results.
