Technical Translation – EU Machinery Directive and Quality
EU Machinery Directive
The EU Machinery Directive compels any internationally successful machinery manufacturer to take this matter very seriously. A machine may not be placed on the market in other EU countries without a country-specific operating manual. Every entrepreneur is aware of this and seeks options whereby the costs of translation can be minimised.
Quality
A good operating manual is always a prerequisite for a good technical translation.
Without the translator having a sound technical grasp of the subject, a good translation cannot be made.
Without sound source documents, a good translation cannot be made.
Without the standardisation of terminology, a good translation cannot be made.
