Technical translation UK services for an SME can be elusive - major corporates have established blue-chip providers and can afford their high prices, but for an SME just entering technical translation finding someone affordable AND trustworthy is tricky. "Technical translation" from the web or phonebook's risky, because unless the translator UNDERSTANDS your technology they'll just translate word-for-word and get it badly wrong.
Lifeline's different - with a resident CEng and over 20 years of technical translation experience, clients include many technology and engineering SMEs (and blue-chip companies) in defence, marine/offshore, telecoms, food industry, water treatment and automotive sectors among others. We're also respected technical translators to many European language agencies. Our technical translation service from and into English covers French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Greek, Polish, Russian, Arabic and Portuguese, and many other European, FSU, African and Asian languages. We also offer comprehensive technical translation multilingual typesetting services in Quark, InDesign, and Illustrator as well as native AutoCAD formats, plus audiovisual technical translation services.
