The task of performing a Technical
Translation is not an easy task, and it requires the translator in translation agency to be a
highly skilled individual.
This is mainly because the technical translator's role is to be an information
transmitter as well as a creator of meaningful knowledge.
It is found that technical translators often times create new meaning to the
document while translating rather than recreating the original document.
It is a big problem when you choose the right translator, the translator must
have a proper working knowledge of the subject of translation and must know the
importance of expressions in both the source and target language as these are
the most prominent factors which determine the validity of the translation and
thus the usefulness of the translated document.
It is important for writers of Technical Translation to work within a certain
scope as their knowledge of the subject is very important to the actual
translating procedure; as a result, most of the technical translators come from
a cross-curricular background.
This is the main reason why technical translators often stick to a single subject
in their translations, for example a translator who specializes in translating
medical documents will not prefer to translate an engineering document as that
would require the translator to study up on the topic and then attempt the
translation.
However, any attempt like that is often met with severe error on the
translation as technical translations require in-depth knowledge of the subject
to translate.
