Technical documents are documents that use specialised vocabulary and are geared towards professionals in the sector concerned, e.g. user manuals, patents, data sheets, product specifications, engineering reports, scientific documents. Accuracy is crucial for this type of translation, as a translation error could have major consequences, particularly in terms of safety or regulatory compliance. Style is a bonus, but of secondary importance. The document must be accurate and fully understandable in the target language. This is an absolute priority.
