Professional Technical Translation Services

There’s often a design or layout component to technical translation. Whether you’re translating product packaging, product manuals, user manuals, user guides, patents, Material Date Safety Sheets, specifications, or technical drawings, we can help. ALTA can provide turnkey service to lay out and return your document in its native format. As a language service agency with more than 30 years of experience, we’ve learned the industry best practices. Just a few of the software files we support include: AutoCad, InDesign, PageMaker, FrameMaker, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and more.

Technical Documents, A Real World Scenario

Your company is exporting a popular food product internationally for the first time. But first, you need the packaging and ingredient label translated into Spanish. You have an employee on staff who handles customer service inquiries in Spanish, but she says she doesn’t feel comfortable with this type of translation. You’ve tried machine translation, but she says the text doesn’t look right. On top of that, you’ve noticed the text is almost 25% longer and flowing off the page. What do you do?

ALTA can match your product with an expert who has translated thousands of ingredient labels. We’ll work with you to determine the best dialect of Spanish for your target audience. We’ll also prep your design files and flow the text in, handling any text expansion so that you have a final, print-ready label ready for production in only a manner of days.
