Techniwords Verified Company

A bad technical translation rarely looks bad. The sentences read smoothly, the layout is intact, and the error sits quietly inside a number, a negation, or a single term until an operator acts on it. That is the problem Techniwords was built to solve.

We are a technical translation company working with US manufacturers, engineering firms, and industrial teams. Our work is the documentation that carries consequences: equipment and maintenance manuals, technical specifications, safety data sheets, CAD drawings and their annotations, patent filings, validation protocols, inspection reports, and tender documents. Fifteen years in, the pattern is consistent — clients come to us after a generalist provider returned something fluent and wrong.

The difference starts with who translates. Our senior linguists trained as engineers before they trained as translators: mechanical, electrical, chemical, aeronautical backgrounds, with years inside industry. That matters because a torque figure quoted in foot-pounds, a decimal comma in a German datasheet, or a pressure limit that silently shifts between gauge and absolute will not be caught by someone translating words rather than reading meaning. Before anyone joins our team, they translate a real document from our archive and their work is scored against the delivered version by the senior translator for that language pair. Most candidates fail on terminology consistency, never on grammar.

The process is built to catch what individuals miss. Terminology is agreed with your engineers and locked in a client termbase before translation begins. A sector-matched specialist translates into their native language only. A second independent linguist revises every sentence against the source. A final pass verifies numbers, units, hazard statements, and formatting as a distinct step rather than an afterthought. The workflow follows ISO 17100, and certified translations with a signed statement of accuracy are available where regulators or courts require them.

We work across 60+ languages and 30+ industrial sectors, from aerospace and automotive to chemicals, energy, medical devices, and food processing. Every quote names the translator we would assign and itemizes what you are paying for, usually within one business hour. Recurring documentation gets translation memory discounts and the same team each time, so your hundredth document sounds like your first.
