TRANSLATIONS FOR<br />

THE MANUFACTURING<br />

INDUSTRY


Our mission is to enable you to<br />

speak clearly to your customers<br />

TTC wetranslate provides technical<br />

translations for a wide variety of global<br />

corporations such as Rolls-Royce, Alstom<br />

and Bechtel. <strong>The</strong> specialties covered include<br />

but are not limited to mechanical and civil<br />

engineering, automotive engineering,<br />

telecoms, printing machinery, food<br />

processing, storage and materials handling,<br />

logistics and transport, electronics, power<br />

generation, medical equipment and<br />

pharmaceuticals.<br />

Translating technical material demands<br />

a high level of understanding and a<br />

thorough knowledge of the subject. Patent<br />

specifications and claims are generally<br />

intricate in nature and the translated patent<br />

is a legal document. Software localisation, a<br />

key aspect of technical translation, requires<br />

a systematic approach to the translation and<br />

testing of the software itself, together with<br />

its related material such as online help<br />

and documentation.<br />

Our extensive, well-maintained database<br />

allows us to select professionals with<br />

appropriate qualifications and experience.<br />

We can also monitor and record their<br />

performance on a project-by-project basis.<br />

Your technical output is translated and<br />

proofread by nationals at every stage.<br />

Quality control is aided by building up<br />

specialist glossaries, working with your<br />

partner companies in overseas sales<br />

territories and deploying translation<br />

memories to aid consistency and<br />

reduce costs.<br />

“Avon Protection have been using TTC<br />

wetranslate for many years now. We<br />

are extremely happy with the service<br />

we receive from them. <strong>The</strong> quote<br />

turnaround time is quick within 24<br />

hours which makes the process much<br />

easier for Avon when working to a quick<br />

turnaround in translations.”<br />

Julia Green –<br />

EMEA Marketing Manager<br />

“ Were fast in responding to my quote request – I<br />

received my quote promptly. <strong>The</strong> TTC wetranslate<br />

project manager kept me informed very well and<br />

I can rate TTC as excellent in meeting deadlines.<br />

I am very likely to use your services in the future.<br />

I can describe my overall project management<br />

experience with TTC wetranslate as professional,<br />

prompt and effective. In brief: Good work. On time<br />

and the translation looks great. Thank you.”<br />

IT Manager – Ploeger<br />

Working clearly with<br />

technical authors<br />

We deploy specialists in science, engineering,<br />

electronics, ICT, pharmaceuticals and more<br />

specifically, in your business. Selection of the<br />

right specialist is the vital first step in our<br />

quality control procedure.<br />

<strong>The</strong> importance of consistent terminology<br />

as well as the formulaic and repetitive nature<br />

of technical writing makes CAT tools using<br />

translation memories and terminology<br />

databases appropriate.<br />

‘Every picture tells a story’. <strong>For</strong> technical<br />

authors, the visuals matter as much as<br />

the words.<br />

We prepare and integrate all visual<br />

material so as to provide a complete<br />

package, identical to the source text but<br />

in multiple languages. Familiarity with all<br />

the leading DTP packages is an important<br />

element of our offer. <strong>For</strong> example, if you<br />

send us a document in InDesign, you’ll<br />

get an InDesign document back.<br />

Correctly localised software is key. Software<br />

strings should be accurate, consistent,<br />

unambiguous and (often) abbreviated to<br />

fit predetermined fields. We have vast<br />

experience with MMI issues such as control<br />

screens and displays and status, error<br />

or help messages. Our processes ensure<br />

consistency; so that, for example, translated<br />

screenshots match your online help manuals.<br />

“ We have been working with TTC wetranslate / Bedford <strong>Translations</strong> for over 10 years.<br />

I have received prompt replies to my quote enquiries, and I have been kept very well<br />

informed by the TTC team. I can say that they provide extremely good service and really<br />

the only place that we use for translations. As always, incredibly swift turn around for the<br />

job required.”

MARKETING MATERIALS<br />

MARKETING YOUR BRAND TO THE WORLD<br />

<strong>The</strong> translation of your marketing message<br />

needs an understanding of the colloquialisms<br />

and slang in the target language – and that’s<br />

where our team excels. You’ll be working with<br />

someone who is usually translating into their<br />

native language – so they’ll spot this kind of<br />

issue long before you spend money on print,<br />

broadcast media and PR.<br />

If you want to tell the world about your brand,<br />

you need an in-depth knowledge of the culture<br />

and customs of your target country and ensure<br />

that your translations have the intended effect.<br />

TECHNICAL DATA SHEETS<br />

TALKING TECHNICAL<br />

Incorrect terminology can be disastrous;<br />

an incorrect translation in maintenance or<br />

operating manuals can be very dangerous<br />

for the end user. Precise translations are<br />

essential to ensure that instructions are<br />

clear for native speakers to understand,<br />

and for your product to succeed.<br />

Your translations will be undertaken by<br />

a translator who is native to your target<br />

country and has the creative flair to translate<br />

your intended message for press releases,<br />

questionnaires, emails, corporate brochures,<br />

adverts and leaflets.<br />

Let TTC wetranslate help you break into the<br />

global market successfully.<br />

“ Our project involved a large number of<br />

languages, but TTC delivered it within<br />

the agreed timescale. <strong>The</strong>y were fast in<br />

responding to my quote request – I received<br />

my quote promptly. <strong>The</strong> TTC wetranslate<br />

project manager kept me informed very<br />

well, and I can rate TTC as excellent in<br />

meeting deadlines. I am very likely to use<br />

your services in the future. I can describe<br />

my overall project management experience<br />

with TTC wetranslate as professional,<br />

prompt and effective. ”<br />

CREATING A BETTER USER EXPERIENCE<br />

When you have technical material that<br />

needs to be translated accuracy is critical.<br />

It’s not just a case of ‘getting the message<br />

across’, like all engineering projects<br />

precision is essential.<br />

Engineering manuals, instructions, reports<br />

and input to shared global projects all need<br />

to be exact – there really is no room for<br />

error. When your experts in engineering have<br />

done their work our experts in language will<br />

translate their work into the language of the<br />

people who need the information.<br />

“<strong>For</strong> some years now Bedford <strong>Translations</strong> (now part of TTC<br />

wetranslate) have been translating almost all of our material<br />

for foreign markets into English – including our Website, Flyers,<br />

Press Releases, White Papers, Case Studies and much more.<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir cooperation with us could not be bettered. <strong>The</strong> texts are<br />

always returned in good time and are, for all their often highly<br />

complicated technical nature, of highest quality with regards to<br />

content and style.”<br />

USER GUIDES<br />

COMPLEX TERMINOLOGY, PRECISE TRANSLATIONS<br />

Product terminology is often complex. Our expert translators use translation memory (TM)<br />

tools and also terminology databases. This means that you will receive consistent, high quality,<br />

technical translations specific to your industry. TTC wetranslates track record is trusted by<br />

the world’s leading blue chip companies.<br />

PATENTS<br />

PROTECTING YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY<br />

Taking out a patent on new intellectual property is an exciting endeavour. You or your<br />

organisation has created a new product or process and needs to tell the world about your<br />

creation while maintaining your legal rights. Just filing the patent application itself is a complex<br />

process involving legal experts, and that is not to mention the painstakingly detailed technical<br />

information you must provide when describing your creation in the patent application.<br />

Translating the language of a patent requires specific technical knowledge and in many cases,<br />

knowledge of legal terminology. A small mistake can cost millions of pounds and negate years<br />

of research, which is why it is imperative to hire experienced, knowledgeable and highly trained<br />

translators for all patent translation.<br />

SOFTWARE<br />

ENGAGE WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS IN THEIR LANGUAGE<br />

Software localisation, a key aspect of technical translation, requires a systematic approach to the<br />

translation and testing of the software itself, together with its related material such as online help<br />

and documentation. Correctly translated menu items and user interface will create a better user<br />

experience.<br />
