Our French technical translators are individually selected for particular experience in their nominated fields of specialisation whether it be IT, telecoms, pharmaceuticals or any other specialist subject. Each has a specific background in their field, and in addition is a fully qualified translator. This ensures that your translation will be excellent, every time.

With technical translation, experience counts. The ability to research clients’ material and keep abreast of technical developments is paramount. French technical language is constantly changing and adapting as technology moves forward. Style is important too. Modern technical authors use a more personal and slightly less formal style than hitherto and we help you produce French material with the right tone and idiom which will enhance your company’s image, as well as making your documentation easier to read.

Our translators have particular expertise in software translation and localisation. French software localisation requires special skills, for example strings sometimes have to be truncated to fit specific HMI interfaces and there’s often a wide variance between the length of strings in the source and target language.

We are experienced in on-line help applications for French software localisation such as RoboHelp. Translating and capturing screenshots is sometimes a headache, but with our technical translation experience we can advise you as to the best methods.

Whatever your requirement you can be confident that Bedford Translations will deal with your technical translation request in a professional and efficient manner. We also appreciate that your technical documents are confidential. You can rest assured that confidentiality is guaranteed.
