Technical translation is specialised form of translation. It involves the translation of technical subject matter such as user manuals, guides, patents, scientific articles and so on. Since the original work is usually written by technical writers, it is ideal that technical translation too is done by technical writers in the target language.
Subject Matter Expertise
Technical translation requires a high level of proficiency in the relevant subject and hence must be done by specialised translators. The translators must not only be well versed in the given subject, but also master the terminology in the field. Specialised terminology is an important aspect in technical translation.
Terminology
Technical terms must be used correctly and uniformly. A comprehensive terminology management process becomes essential in such a project. A professional translation company will publish a style guide and official term bases for every project it undertakes. They will develop and manage specialised terminology in a glossary shared with and updated by the all participating team members. It is important that the terms are used consistently throughout the material.

Medical & Pharmaceutical Translation
Medical translation plays an auxiliary role in medical research & practice. It is a kind of technical translation that requires a high level of skill and knowledge. In addition to translation credentials, the linguist also must possess adequate knowledge or mastery of medical concepts and terminology.
The need for medical translation is felt in an array of situations. Pharma companies and CROs have a worldwide outreach for their medicines and must make all literature about the production and use available to people in different languages. Manufacturers of medical equipment have a competitive advantage when their literature is translated in different languages. Doctors and medical professionals need to treat and interact with patients of different cultures and linguistic backgrounds.

Software Localization
There is another form of technical translation which has to do with the localization of software strings. These are used in user interfaces. Although they are seemingly simple, we need to bear in mind that these strings are being used in a machine and have specific contextual and domain-specific meaning.
Traditional translation is typically an action performed after the source document has been confirmed. Software localization projects, on the other hand, often run in equivalent with the development of the source product to enable real time shipment of all language versions. For example, the translation of software strings may often commence while the software product is still in the beta stage. Version management and incremental translation are additional aspects to bear in mind for software localization.
