Technical Translation Software

Guide to Technical Translations

Working with technical documents can be challenging. A good technical translator must not only know both the original source language and the target language, but he must also understand the topic and the industry's specific terminology.

The great thing about technical documents is that they are generally very well written, therefore software can give you a higher level of accuracy than other types of documents.

Update: SYSTRAN's Pure Neural MT Provides accurate technical translations!

How good is the accuracy? Close to human. In fact, in a blind study, participants at times rated Pure Neural MT as better than the human. Artificial intelligence (Pure Neural MT) is the best solution for technical translations.

Build your own Additional Dictionaries

One of the key features of SYSTRAN software is the ability to customize the software to learn your industry or company specific terminology. By building your own dictionaries you can provide consistent translations of terms and phrases, even if you have multiple translators working on the same project.

Build your own Term / Phrase Dictionaries

SYSTRAN's User Dictionary allows you to add your own terms and phrases to multiple dictionaries. The software's Project Manager will even extract a list of the most common terms in your document to make it easy for a human translator to review and make changes where needed. All changes will be saved allowing for more accurate future translations.

Build Translation Memories

SYSTRAN has powerful Translation Memory capabilities. In fact, the software can automatically build a complete translation memory from a previously translated document. This is extremely helpful as it will save you valuable time on future translations.

Do Not Translate Options

There are industry terms that need to be retained exactly as they appear in the original version. SYSTRAN allows you to mark these terms or phrases as a "DNT" or "Do Not Translate" entry in your dictionary so you won't have to worry about accidentally translating them in future documents.

Type of Technical Documents you can Translate with Software

You can use SYSTRAN to translate just about any type of technical documents. While the level is accuracy is higher than for other type of documents, it also varies depending upon the document and how it will be used after it's translated.
