Frequently Asked Questions

How can I translate complex technical terms accurately?

Accuracy comes from a combination of technology and expertise. Smartcat provides a central glossary to store approved terms, Translation Memory to reuse past work, and AI that learns your specific terminology. For the final polish, you can use internal subject matter experts or source professional reviewers from our marketplace.

What tools can help with translating technical terms?

The best solution is an all-in-one platform. A good technical term translator tool offers a glossary, translation memory, and quality assurance checks. Smartcat combines these features with a powerful AI engine that continuously learns from your feedback, making it a comprehensive tool for any translation of technical terminology.

What does the technical term 'register' mean in translation?

In translation, 'register' refers to the level of formality of the language. For example, a technical manual has a formal register, while a marketing message might be informal. A key part of a good user friendly translation of technical term is matching the original register. This ensures the AI and human reviewers adapt the language for the intended audience, whether it's a technical expert or a general user.

How do you handle translation from a technical standpoint to a layman term?

This requires a clear localization brief. You define the target audience for each piece of content. The AI can then be guided to simplify complex ideas. For instance, a translation from a technical standpoint to a layman term involves choosing simpler words and providing more context. Expert reviewers can then ensure the simplified text is still accurate.

Do you support German and Spanish translation technical terms?

Yes. Our platform supports over 80 languages, including specialized german translation technical terms and spanish translation technical terms. We combine our fine-tuned AI with a network of in-country reviewers who are experts in fields like engineering, IT, and manufacturing. This ensures high-quality and contextually appropriate translations.

Should technical terminology be translated exactly from the text?

For consistency and clarity, we recommend that technical terminology should be translated exactly from the text every time it appears. This is managed using a centralized glossary. The platform automatically ensures that approved terms are used correctly across all projects, preventing confusion and maintaining brand consistency.

What explains technical terms or translates terms consistently?

Smartcat is the platform that both explains and translates. The glossary acts as a single source of truth, often including definitions or usage notes. This is what explains technical terms or translates terms consistently. The AI then uses this glossary to ensure every technical term translation is correct and uniform across all your content, from UI elements to support documentation.

Is Smartcat secure for proprietary technical information?

Absolutely. Smartcat is SOC II certified and GDPR compliant. All content is encrypted. We provide robust security features, including role-based access controls. You can confidently manage the translation of technical terms for even the most sensitive content.
