New DIN standards manual: maximum information content at a minimal cost<\/h1><\/div>

The new, revised and significantly expanded edition of the handbook “Standards for Terminology Work, Technical Writing and Translation” was published in September. It contains a large number of German-language standards across almost 600 pages, including eight new documents. The standards included are relevant to creating specialised texts, their translation and other aspects of the translation process. The handbook is recommended for a large group of experts in the fields of translation, terminology and technical communication. We explain why.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Collections of standards are compiled by experts and contain the original text of all standards relevant to a specific subject or field of application. These DIN pocketbooks not only give easy access to DIN standards, but are also attractively priced.
\nThis applies in particular to the new handbook “Standards for Terminology Work, Technical Writing and Translation”: here is the publisher’s link<\/a> with an extensive reading sample.<\/p>\n

Since the publication of the previous manual “Standards for Translators and Technical Writers” (2017), some standards have been completely revised (including the basic terminology standards DIN 2330, DIN 2331, DIN 2340 and DIN 2342 and the documentation standard DIN EN IEC\/IEEE 82079-1<\/a>) and some completely new standards have appeared (such as DIN ISO 18587<\/a> on post-editing machine translation and DIN 8579<\/a>\u00a0on translation-oriented writing). Therefore, there was sufficient reason to release a new edition and change the name.<\/p>\n<\/div>
