Technical documents are texts pertaining to technological subject areas or to texts relating to practical application of scientific and technological information. It requires the technical translator to have a high level of subject knowledge and mastery of relevant terminologies and writing conventions. It is interesting to note that by output, it is the largest subset out of all possible types of professional translation.

How Technical translation is done at STS?

The importance of consistent terminology in technical translation, for e.g. in patents, as well as highly formulaic and repetitive nature of technical writing makes use of computer- aided translation or machine translation with the use of translation memories and terminology databases especially appropriate and to a great extent inevitable.
