Technical Translators with Industry Expertise
Professional specialist translations require more than excellent language skills. Translators must understand the subject, use the correct terminology and know how professionals in the relevant sector communicate.
SATZGEWINN® selects a suitable native-language specialist for every assignment. Our international network includes academically qualified translators with experience in law, technology, IT, medicine, business, marketing, science and many other sectors.
What you can expect from SATZGEWINN®
Why Specialist Knowledge Matters
A technically correct translation must convey the same information as the original document without ambiguity. The translator must understand not only the individual words but also the processes, concepts and conventions behind them.
A legal contract requires a different approach from a medical report, technical manual, financial statement or advertising campaign. We therefore select translators according to both the required language combination and the relevant subject area.
This careful selection helps ensure that your translation is accurate, clear and appropriate for its intended audience.
Legal and Certified Translations
Legal texts demand precise wording and a sound understanding of the legal systems involved. Even generally familiar words may have a specific legal meaning.
Our legal translators work with contracts, court documents, powers of attorney, wills, patents, terms and conditions, data-protection documents and commercial-register extracts.
Where required, documents can be processed as certified translations by appropriately authorised translators.
Technology and Engineering
Technical documents must be unambiguous and terminologically consistent. Errors in instructions, specifications or safety information can have serious consequences.
Our technical translators work in specialist fields such as mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, electrical engineering, energy, manufacturing and process technology.

Information Technology and Software
IT translations require an understanding of software, hardware, digital processes and current technical terminology.
Our specialists translate software interfaces, online help, applications, user documentation, websites, telecommunications content and information relating to data processing.
For software localisation, linguistic content is also adapted to the technical and cultural requirements of the target market.
Medicine and Medical Technology
Medical translations require exceptional accuracy. The intended reader may be a physician, researcher, healthcare professional, public authority, patient or consumer.
Our medical translators work with reports, studies, patient information, medical-device instructions, diagnostic documentation and specialist publications.
Terminology, comprehensibility and the intended purpose of the document are taken into account throughout the translation process.
Pharmaceuticals, Chemistry and Biotechnology
The pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnology sectors combine scientific terminology with regulatory and technical requirements.
Our specialist translators process research documents, product information, safety data sheets, package leaflets, patents, laboratory documentation and materials relating to regulatory approval.
For every assignment, we select a translator familiar with the relevant scientific discipline.
Business, Finance and Banking
International business communication requires clear, professional and consistent language. Financial texts must also comply with established terminology and reporting conventions.
We translate annual reports, financial statements, market analyses, presentations, audit reports, banking documents, contracts and internal corporate communications.
The target audience and intended use determine whether the translation should be technical, formal, concise or more accessible.
Human Resources
Human-resources documents frequently contain confidential personal information and must be handled with particular care.
Our translators process employment contracts, job advertisements, employee information, training materials, company policies, certificates of employment and documents relating to international recruitment.
Where official submission is required, appropriately authorised translators can prepare certified translations of qualifications and certificates.
Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations
Marketing content cannot simply be translated word for word. Tone, emotional effect, cultural references and the expectations of the target audience must also be considered.
Our native-language specialists adapt websites, advertising campaigns, press releases, brochures, newsletters and social-media content to the relevant market.
For projects requiring more extensive cultural adaptation, our creative writing and transcreation services may be appropriate.
E-Commerce
International online shops require persuasive product descriptions, clear navigation and legally appropriate customer information.
We translate website content, product descriptions, category pages, newsletters, advertisements, metadata, terms and conditions, privacy notices and customer-service information.
Consistent terminology and brand language are particularly important when large numbers of products or several target markets are involved.
Science and Research
Scientific texts must communicate complex information accurately and logically. Terminology may vary according to discipline, research field and intended readership.
Our specialist translators work with research reports, academic articles, conference papers, laboratory results, dissertations, presentations and materials for international cooperation.
Depending on the subject, translators with expertise in biology, chemistry, medicine, engineering or another relevant discipline are selected.
Tourism, Culture and Lifestyle
Tourism, culture, fashion, cosmetics and lifestyle content require a natural, engaging style and sensitivity to cultural expectations.
We translate hotel and destination websites, travel brochures, exhibition texts, cultural programmes, product descriptions, press materials and marketing campaigns.
The final translation should sound as though it was written directly for the target audience rather than translated from another language.

Qualified Native-Language Specialists
Our specialist translators have an academic qualification in translation or a relevant professional field. Many possess additional subject-specific education or extensive experience in the sector concerned.
They translate into their respective native languages and remain familiar with current terminology, professional developments and linguistic conventions in their target markets.
Terminology and Translation-Memory Systems
Consistent terminology is essential, particularly for technical documentation, product ranges and long-term translation projects.
Translation-memory systems such as Trados, memoQ and Across can help ensure that recurring passages and approved terminology are used consistently.
Existing glossaries, terminology databases, style guides and previous translations can be integrated into the project where appropriate.
Quality Control
Every translation is checked carefully before delivery. Depending on the project requirements, an additional specialist or native-language editor may review the translated text.
The quality-control process considers accuracy, completeness, terminology, grammar, style, formatting and compliance with the agreed instructions.
Confidentiality
Specialist documents may contain business secrets, unpublished research, technical developments or sensitive personal data. All documents are therefore handled confidentially.
Our translators are bound by professional confidentiality. If required, we are also happy to sign your confidentiality agreement or non-disclosure agreement.

SATZGEWINN® provides specialist translations in 38 languages and more than 1,400 language combinations.
