40+ languagesTechnical Manual Translation for Any Industry
HI-COM translates technical documentation for industrial and regulated products across these fields — grounded in real project history, including ongoing work for aerospace, defense, medical, railway and semiconductor-testing equipment manufacturers.
Document Types We Translate
From engineering specifications to installation and safety documentation — if it’s technical, it’s in scope.
Technical Manual vs. User Manual Translation — Which Do You Need?
This page focuses on technical, engineering and regulated documentation — service and maintenance manuals, engineering specifications, and safety or compliance documentation for industrial equipment, electronics and regulated products. If you’re translating a consumer product’s user manual instead — furniture, consumer electronics, sporting goods, or similar everyday products — see our dedicated User Manual Translation service. Both draw on the same ISO 17100-certified process and 40+ language network, so you’ll get the same quality either way — this split simply helps us match you with the right specialists from the start.

The Technical Manual Translation Process
Terminology Database & Style Guide
We build a dedicated multi-language terminology database and style guide for your product line before translation begins.
CAT Tool + Native Human Translation
Translation-memory tools automatically match terminology; native-speaking technical translators refine every sentence in context.
Three-Level Quality Verification
Initial translation, review, and final review — checking terminology accuracy, grammar and technical tone at each stage.
Multi-Format Delivery
Finished files are delivered as PDF, Word or editable source files, in batches for real-time review and feedback.
Ongoing Updates & Support
Agile project management keeps future manual revisions fast to translate, with terminology staying consistent version to version.
A Real Technical Manual Translation Project
One recent example from the industries above — a named client, real languages, real deliverables.
Semiconductor testing & electronic connectors for aerospace, defense, medical, railway & industrial equipment
Since 2018, HI-COM has translated Smiths Interconnect’s official website and product manuals into Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean. The project required a dedicated four-language terminology database for exact technical terms — including “DaVinci test sockets” and “H-shaped probes” — a CAT-tool-plus-human-review translation process, and a three-level initial-review-final review quality process, with delivery supported in PDF, Word and editable source-file formats.
