TECHNICAL TRANSLATION
Manuals and technical documentation, translated by someone who knows the field
A badly translated manual costs more than no translation at all: it generates support tickets, product returns and the impression that the product is less serious than it is. I translate technical documentation from English and French into Italian, for companies and SMEs.
What I translate
- User and maintenance manuals
- Technical sheets and datasheets
- Product documentation and catalogues
- Technical content for websites and e-commerce
- Internal training material
Ten years inside the industry, not outside it
Before going freelance I spent ten years as an in-house translator at a leading Oil & Gas company. That means translating technical documentation every single day, inside the company processes, with the engineers a desk away whenever a term needed clarifying.
Management systems and ISO standards
One specialisation in particular: documentation for quality, environmental and safety management systems.
- ISO 9001 — quality management systems
- ISO 14001 — environmental management systems
- OHSAS 18001 — occupational health and safety
- SA8000 — social accountability
- IMS — Integrated Management System documentation
I hold the Lead Auditor qualification for ISO 9001:2015 from TÜV SUD: I understand the content of the standards I translate, not just their language.
Consistent terminology, project after project
For every client I maintain a terminology glossary that grows over time. A technical term is rendered the same way across all company documentation, even years later and across different documents. That is the main difference from an agency rotating different translators on the same account.
