  • ~350K words
  • 78 projects
  • 75+ languages

CONTENT

Energy and power content we work with

  • Technical documentation

    Manuals, specifications, technical descriptions and other specialist material.

  • Installation & operating instructions

    Instructions for installation, operation and use of equipment and systems.

  • Maintenance content

    Service instructions, maintenance documentation and related technical material.

  • Training material

    Training manuals, presentations and instructional content for employees, partners or customers.

  • Safety-related content

    Warnings, safety instructions and other safety-related text supplied as part of technical documentation.

  • Corporate & marketing content

    Presentations, brochures, company documents and other business content.

TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY

Consistent terminology across technical content

Energy projects often use repeated technical terms across manuals, specifications, training material and product documentation. We can maintain approved terminology and translation memories so the same wording remains available across files and future updates.

  • Equipment terminology

    Names of systems, components and equipment can be recorded for consistent use.

  • Technical terms

    Approved specialist terminology can be maintained across languages and documents.

  • Translation memories

    Previous approved translations can be reused where the same or similar content appears again.

  • Client feedback

    Approved terminology changes can be added to the project resources used for later work.

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS

Working with structured technical files

Energy and power documentation may combine text, measurements, tables, diagrams and repeated technical information. The translation process can be organised around the structure of the source material.

  • Specifications

    Technical data and structured product information require careful handling.

  • Tables & measurements

    Numerical content, units and tabular information can be included in the translation workflow.

  • Diagrams & callouts

    Text inside editable diagrams and graphics can be translated where the required source files are available.

  • Repeated content

    Translation memories can help keep recurring instructions and descriptions consistent.

  • Document layout

    Multilingual formatting can be included when translated documents need final layout work.

ONGOING DOCUMENTATION

Managing updates over time

Technical documentation changes as equipment, products and internal processes are updated. Ongoing translation work can keep the same project resources available for later versions.

  • Revised documentation

    Updated sections can use previous approved translations as reference.

  • New products or systems

    Existing terminology resources can be extended when new content is introduced.

  • Additional languages

    Existing project terminology can support expansion into new target languages.

  • Version consistency

    Translation memories and terminology help keep repeated wording aligned across document versions.

HOW WE WORK

From technical files to final delivery

  1. 01

    Project setup

    We confirm the languages, content types, file formats, deadline and available reference material.

  2. 02

    Linguistic preparation

    Existing terminology, translation memories, previous translations and technical references are prepared for the team.

  3. 03

    Translation

    Suitable linguists translate the content using the agreed terminology and project instructions.

  4. 04

    Review & QA

    The agreed linguistic review and quality checks are completed before delivery.

  5. 05

    Formatting & delivery

    Final files are returned in the required format, with multilingual formatting included where this forms part of the project.

QUALITY CHECKS

What we check

  • Meaning

    Whether the translated text communicates the meaning of the source correctly.

  • Terminology

    Whether approved and context-appropriate technical terms are used consistently.

  • Numbers & units

    Numerical information and units can be checked as part of the agreed QA process.

  • Consistency

    Repeated terms, names and instructions are compared across the content.

  • Formatting elements

    Tables, tags, placeholders and other structural elements are checked where they form part of the translation file.

  • Missing content

    Final QA can include checks for untranslated or omitted text.

SCOPE

Language services for energy content

VIAX provides translation, localization and linguistic review for energy and power content. Engineering advice, technical certification and regulatory approval are outside the scope of the language service.

Tell us about your energy or technical content.

Send us the languages, file types, expected volume and deadline. If you already have terminology, previous translations or technical reference material, include those as well. We’ll review the project and come back to you with the recommended process, timing and cost.
