Machine, product or safety instructions are often very detailed and can take up to ten pages. Translating such a document can cost several hundred euros. However, the price can be significantly reduced if you pay attention to the following factors:
⠀
1. Well-prepared materials
⠀
Review the translation materials to make sure they do not contain any redundant parts. It is best to always send the final version of the text for translation to the translator or translation agency. Thus, you avoid the extra charge for additional changes to the translated text.
⠀
2. Dictionary of Technical Terms
⠀
If you have already had similar texts translated or have a good overview of the translated professional terms, do not keep it to yourself! Not only does this make the translator’s work easier (making the cost of the translation lower); the consistency of your translations is also guaranteed.
⠀
3. Repeated segments
⠀
In the instruction manuals, whole segments of text are often repeated. Repetitions can be converted by professional translation tools used by every major translation agency, as well as by many translators. However, your document must be in a format in which the program can detect the text and recalculate individual segments.
