Technology translation services

Technology Translation for Hardware, Software and Developer Documentation

Technology companies juggle hardware specs, software interfaces, developer references and marketing copy that all need to speak the same terminology. We provide technical translations across this full stack, from datasheets to API documentation, with terminology governance that keeps the same term for the same concept everywhere it appears.

Hardware and software documentation

Datasheets, installation guides and firmware release notes require translators who understand the underlying technology, not just the words on the page. We translate hardware and software documentation for Spanish, German and other European markets, keeping unit conversions, safety warnings and version numbering consistent, and routing complex electrical or mechanical content through technical manuals specialists.

Datasheets and installation guides translated by linguists familiar with the technology domain.
Safety warnings and unit conversions checked for accuracy across all language versions.
Firmware and software release notes kept aligned with version numbering across markets.

Developer documentation and API references

Developer docs mix prose explanations with code samples, parameter tables and command-line output that must stay untouched during translation. Our linguists translate the surrounding text while leaving code blocks, function names and syntax intact, and flag any string embedded in code comments that also needs localization, so technical writers do not have to manually separate translatable from non-translatable content.

Code samples, function names and syntax left untouched during translation passes.
Parameter tables and command-line output translated with consistent technical vocabulary.
Embedded strings in code comments flagged separately when localization is also required.

Product marketing and terminology governance

Product pages, whitepapers and launch announcements need the persuasive tone of marketing translations while still using the exact terms defined in your technical glossary. We maintain one shared glossary across documentation and marketing teams, reviewed and updated as products evolve, so a feature is never called one thing in the manual and another on the website.

Frequently asked questions

How do you avoid translating code by mistake in developer documentation?

Our linguists are trained to recognise code blocks, markup and syntax and leave them untouched, translating only the surrounding explanatory text. Where files use structured formats like Markdown or reStructuredText, we preserve all formatting tags exactly as delivered.

Can the same glossary be used for both technical and marketing content?

Yes, and we recommend it. Sharing one glossary across documentation and marketing teams prevents a product feature from being named differently in the manual than on the website, which confuses customers and complicates support.

Which technology sectors do you have experience with?

We work with hardware manufacturers, enterprise software vendors and developer-tool companies, matching each project with linguists who have relevant domain background rather than assigning generalist translators to specialised technical content.

Do you translate directly in our documentation platform?

We can work within most common documentation and content platforms via export/import or direct access, and we adapt our workflow to the tools your team already uses rather than requiring you to change systems for translation.
