Technical Translation Italian English French, Handbook Translation

Technical translation, among the various specialties in the wide and diversified sector of translations, is perhaps one of the most known but it is also more subject to misunderstandings and oversimplifications.
Actually, most people are prone to think that the simple knowledge of technical terminology is enough to make a correct translation and that whoever has a good terminologic background can easely tackle a technical text, thus falling into the trap of literal translation, false friends or redundancy.

Technical translation, in order to be of high quality level and to reflect the original text both in the form and the content, requires specific competences and a particular sensibility to the text.

The technical translator must know the subject he’s dealing with in depth, study, constantly update on its development and get hold of updated reference material, in order to familiarize with concepts and languages typical of his field of specialization. In such a way, he will be able to analyse and deeply understand the meaning of a technical text.

The subject mastery, moreover, will help him to develop a sensitive approach to the text and will lead him to make conscious translating choices. He will thus be able to find the linguistic code suitable for that sector, to identify and keep always in mind the reader he’s addressing to. He will does not make the common mistake to believe that, in order to be accurate and worthy, a text must always use complicated expressions and resounding words.

Technical translation implies the satisfaction of all these conditions so that the translator can avoid the trap of the passive absorption of the lexicon and syntagma of the source language, which would result into a meaningless translation for experts in that field.
