What industrial companies expect from translation services
Technical accuracy
Technical texts in the industrial sector require consistent use of specialised terminology and a sound understanding of the relevant domain. This is how we produce translations for industry that clearly convey technical content in everyday contexts and can be used with confidence.
Consistent communication
Product texts, specifications and instructions must remain consistent both across multiple languages and within a single language. This helps you avoid the need for follow-up enquiries and ensures clear processes for internal teams, partners and users.
Efficient workflows
Structured processes are crucial, particularly for large-scale projects involving many stakeholders. They help you keep track of things and manage the coordination efficiently.
Adherence to deadlines
Industrial projects often have tight schedules. That’s why you need a translation management system that maintains reliability even when deadlines are tight.

FAQs
How does oneword ensure the quality of its technical translations?
For us, quality assurance means planning, managing and checking everything right from the start so that, in the end, you receive exactly the quality you need. We always start by looking at your requirements, because every project is different. We’ll work with you to determine which quality control steps are best suited to your content and processes: revision by a second independent professional translator, review, back-translation or other verification steps. These checks are incorporated throughout the entire process. Our work is underpinned by processes certified in accordance with ISO 17100, ISO 18587 and ISO 9001. We’ll decide together how to tailor them for you.
Which languages does oneword offer in technical translation?
As a translation service provider, oneword translates technical documents into over 80 languages – ranging from European languages such as English, French, Spanish and Icelandic to Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean. All language combinations are handled by professional translators who are native speakers with a technical background. On request, oneword can also handle localisation – that is, the cultural adaptation of your content to the relevant target market.
Why is controlled natural language so important for technical translations?
Why is controlled natural language so important for technical translations?
Controlled natural language – such as Simplified Technical English (STE) – reduces ambiguity and thus lays the foundation for accurate, consistent translation. Clear, standardised phrasing reduces the workload involved in translation, improves the quality of machine translation and makes it easier to reuse text segments in the translation memory.
How are technical texts translated?
No two projects are the same, which is why there is no rigid process at oneword. The process involved in a technical translation depends on your requirements and the specific risks associated with your project. Which types of content are safety-critical? What terminology must be standardised? What quality control measures are required for your industry or your internal processes? On this basis, we plan the process together with you and implement it exactly as agreed.
What are the typical challenges involved in technical translation?
Technical translations present companies with several challenges at once: maintaining consistent terminology across documents, versions and departments; complex domains that require genuine specialist knowledge; and tight turnaround times that leave little room for manoeuvre. Added to this are organisational requirements such as the automation of translation processes and the direct integration of existing editorial and translation systems – such as Schema ST4 or Across – with the translation service provider.
