Documentation your engineers can work from, in any language
Manuals, patents, specifications and software documentation
translated by people who know the field, with terminology that stays the same on every page.
We pick the translator by subject, not by availability
Technical translation demands precision, accuracy and deep subject matter knowledge. Every project goes to a translator with the academic or professional background your documents assume.
Engineering & manufacturing
User and maintenance manuals, safety instructions, assembly drawings and technical specifications for production floors and field crews.
IT & software
Software documentation, user interfaces, release notes and help guides, with strings kept intact and placeholders untouched.
Medical & pharmaceutical
Instructions for Use, clinical trial documents, labelling and medical device manuals, handled with the wording regulators expect.
Science & research
Patents, claims and specifications, scientific articles and research papers where one wrong term changes the meaning of the whole claim.
One term, one translation, every page
Before the first page is translated we build a glossary from your documents and your existing materials. Translation memory then holds that wording in place across the whole set, and across the next revision you send us.

Three passes before anything reaches you
Subject matter experts
Your project goes to a translator who works in your field and has read documents like yours before, not to whoever is free that afternoon.
Terminology management
Translation memory and project glossaries keep terms, units and product names consistent through the document and through later updates.
Multi-step review
A second specialist edits and proofreads the text, checking figures, cross-references and tables against the original before delivery.
Priced per word, so the quote is arithmetic
Technical translations are quoted per source word. You see the figure and the delivery date before anyone starts typing, and rush work costs the same as regular work.

From your file to documentation you can publish

We count the words, look at the formatting and confirm the deadline. The price and the delivery date come back in writing.
Translation and review
A specialist translates against the project glossary; a second pass checks terminology, figures, units and cross-references.
Delivery
You receive the documents in the original layout, with a signed certification statement when the receiving side asks for one.
Who sends us technical documents
Manitoba work usually comes from manufacturers, engineering and IT companies, research institutions and colleges: operating and maintenance manuals, safety instructions, technical specifications, software documentation and patents, most often for teams in Winnipeg, Brandon and across Manitoba.
Files can be sent through the order form at any hour, or brought to our Winnipeg office. If a document also has to be certified for a Manitoba institution, regular certified translation starts at $59 and is ready in 1–2 business days, while ATIM-certified translation starts at $99 and takes 2–4 business days. Prices do not include 5% tax.
