Technical translation

Even when dealing with colloquial language, catastrophic errors can arise when translations are done literally. For example, consider the “simple” labels on clothes: “hand wash, do not bleach, do not tumble, cool iron” in English = “lávese las manos, no blanquee, no se caiga, hierro guay” in Spanish.

Terrifying.

That type of thing happens all the time. Just check your labels and instruction booklets.

And this is a relatively less important case. We don’t even want to think about how some people might translate instructions for heavy or dangerous machinery, guidelines for dangerous short-term or long-term operations, construction rules, etc. It’s a real risk.

And everything lies on the quality of the translation. It’s unbelievable.

Don’t let something like this happen to you.

In the best of the cases, you could end up making a fool of yourself; but it could be worse: you could be held liable for the misuse of one of your products, and we don’t want to even think what the consequences of that may be.

Some situations can be remedied with compensation, but others, unfortunately, cannot be fixed.

Each sector has its own specific terminology and not just any translation is valid… you have to take into account the technical language and its context, and that can only be done by someone specialized in the subject in question.
