Accurate technology translations

Technical translations that shine through linguistic precision engineering

Our language professionals possess the necessary knowledge for technical translations, are familiar with the specific vocabulary and pay attention to formatting. To ensure that cultural aspects – such as the use of symbols – are also taken into account in your documentation, we only use linguists who translate into their mother tongue.

Artificial and human intelligence

As an alternative to a technical specialist translation, we also offer machine translation. With our proprietary machine translation engine apoAI, we have a highly developed, trainable translation tool at our disposal. It comes into its own when large amounts of text have to be translated for internal use.

For the best possible result, we combine the efficiency of the machine with a human feel for language. Professional post-editing by the Apostroph proofreading team helps you refine and enhance the linguistic quality of your translation.

Our desktop publishing team makes specialist texts look better

When it comes to technical translations, a number of design factors play an important role. For example, non-editable process diagrams, drawings or other graphical representations and elements must be prepared for translation. Otherwise, the design requires post-translation. Longer texts as well as Arabic and Chinese characters can pose challenges when it comes to the layout. Apostroph’s specialist team takes care of your desktop publishing and ensures that line breaks, page breaks, the direction of reading and all other design details are correct in the target language.

You can also place your desktop publishing order via myAPOSTROPH. An interface to your PIM makes your order process even more efficient. We would be happy to advise you personally.

Any questions?

Technology savings can be achieved by using repetitions within a text from previous translations. This is made possible by translation memory technology, which memorises passages and terms and suggests them when appropriate. This reduces the translators’ time and effort without compromising on quality. We pass on the resulting savings to you in the form of a discount.

The scope, language combination, degree of difficulty and number of recurring text elements determine how long a language professional needs to complete a translation. To make a realistic suggestion, we analyse your text and then confirm a guaranteed delivery date. This approach has always worked and in the past has meant we are generally able to meet the desired deadlines. For particularly urgent texts, our express service is available around the clock, 365 days a year.

Essentially, we accept all formats. Files that cannot be edited – including PDFs, for example – are converted. If you are unsure whether we can process your format, just ask us.

The size of orders you send by e-mail depends on the limitations of your server. You can send data of up to 200 MB via our myAPOSTROPH customer portal.

We are one of the leading suppliers in this field. With our proprietary company solution apoAI, we have a neural machine translation system which is capable of learning and which backs up all data in Switzerland in accordance with ISO 27001. We also offer our customers post-editing services for the post-editing of machine translations.
