Technical Translation
by Subject-Matter
Experts.
A wrong term in a technical manual causes a safety incident. A mistranslated regulatory submission delays market entry by months. MEJPBS assigns domain-expert translators — engineers translating engineering, medical professionals translating clinical content — in 170+ languages.
Technical Content Requires
Domain Expertise, Not Just Fluency.
A fluent bilingual speaker who doesn't understand engineering can't accurately translate an operator manual. They may produce grammatically correct text that uses the wrong technical term. In technical contexts, the wrong term can mean a safety failure, a regulatory rejection, or a warranty dispute.
MEJPBS assigns technical translators who hold domain expertise in the subject matter of your document — engineering and manufacturing specialists, clinical and regulatory affairs professionals, software developers, and patent attorneys — alongside their language proficiency.
For ongoing clients, we build project-specific terminology glossaries and translation memories — databases of previously approved terminology — to ensure every document uses consistent, approved language across all languages and all versions.

Technical Translation FAQ
Technical translation covers specialized documents: engineering manuals, medical device documentation, regulatory filings, patents, and software content. These require the translator to understand the subject matter, not just the language. A fluent Spanish speaker who doesn't understand mechanical engineering can't accurately translate a hydraulic systems manual. The text may be grammatically correct but use the wrong technical term. In technical contexts, that wrong term can cause a safety failure, a regulatory rejection, or a liability dispute. MEJPBS assigns translators with real expertise in your field.
Yes. MEJPBS matches each technical document to a translator with the right background:
