Professional translation for electrical engineering
Translation for the electrical engineering sector, in over 80 languages
Terminologically accurate, standard compliant and with dedicated contact persons – for companies that do not compromise when operating internationally.
To ensure your products are approved worldwide
In electrical engineering, translation is not merely a formality. Circuit diagrams, installation and safety instructions must convey exactly the same meaning in every language as in the original. Nonconformities in technical documentation jeopardise product approval, give rise to liability risks and undermine your customers’ trust. Businesses operating in multiple markets need translations that are linguistically accurate and compliant with regulatory requirements.
This is exactly where oneword comes in.
These clients put their trust in oneword:
Our certifications:
Your benefits at a glance
Your specialised terminology remains consistent – in every language
Your documents are handled by translators who are thoroughly familiar with electrical engineering. Dedicated teams and the use of terminology databases ensure that your terminology remains consistent – project after project, across all languages.
Standard-compliant processes – right from the start
oneword is certified to ISO 17100 and ISO 18587 and therefore meets the requirements for translations set out in DIN EN IEC/IEEE 82079-1 Ed. 2. For you, this means verified processes and a translation that stands up to regulatory scrutiny.
Long-term reduction in your translation costs
Consistent terminology and translations across all languages and documents are no coincidence – they are the result of using translation memories and rigorous terminology management. With oneword, you can build your own translation memories and a terminology database to ensure consistency and reduce translation costs in the long term.

Where appropriate, we will use machine translation with professional post-editing (oneMTPE) in consultation with you – to ensure shorter turnaround times and lower costs. We’ll work with you to determine which process is best suited to your project.
Reliable delivery deadlines
100% adherence to deadlines is standard for us. Dedicated contact persons and a well-coordinated project management team ensure the success of your projects – even when working to a tight schedule.
