Common mistakes

Knowing the language isn't enough. You have to understand how the facility works

Industry terminology

At a gold processing plant, the gold room isn't where bullion is stored but a specific stage of the process. Without industry knowledge, nobody catches this kind of error until the document reaches the site.

gold room

Золотая комната

Плавильное отделение

One word, several meanings

In construction documents the same word can mean different things. The right option comes from the context and the drawings, not from a dictionary.

staircase

Лестница, одинаково везде

Лестничная клетка или лестничный марш, по контексту

Drawings and units

Text on drawings is often not editable, and the original may use inches and feet. We translate the labels while keeping the sheet layout and check units and symbols against the standards of the target country.

Technical translation: what you should know

Why technical translation is a specialization of its own

Technical documents are read by engineers, designers, contractors and regulators. A wrong term or number doesn't just spoil the style. It leads to incorrect installation, rework and missed deadlines. That's why translating design documentation deserves the same care as developing it.

A translator needs to know more than the language. They need to understand the subject: how the process works, how working documentation differs from design documentation, how to read a drawing. Simon Akhrameev, who runs the agency, spent several years in the translation department of a gold exploration company, so mining and construction are our core subjects.

How we handle technical documentation

  • Analysis and glossary. Before translating, we list the key terms and agree on them with you. If you already have a term base or previous translations, we use them.
  • Translation in a CAT tool. The software stores approved translations, so identical passages are translated the same way in every volume.
  • Quality control. Automated checks for terms, numbers, units and missed segments, followed by an editor's review.
  • Same format as the original. Tables, numbering, title blocks and drawing labels stay where they belong.

Units, standards and formatting

English documents often use inches, feet and pounds, while documents for Russia and other CIS countries use the metric system and their own formatting rules. Depending on what you need, we keep the original values, add conversions in brackets or convert everything to metric. What matters is that the whole package is consistent.

Confidentiality

Design documentation often contains sensitive information about the site and equipment. All files are treated as confidential, and we're happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before you send them.

All questions and answers

Yes. We work with DWG, PDF, DOCX, XLSX and other formats. Labels on drawings are translated without breaking the sheet layout. If the PDF text isn't editable, we run OCR first and then translate.
