The digital revolution is a global phenomenon, one which crossed borders nearly as soon as it began. Thanks to the Internet, innovations in software, apps, and digital technology spread even faster, using phones and computers to connect individual users all over the world. As a result, any IT (information technology) company needs a global communications strategy in order to make a mark in this international playing field. IT translations are a core part of any successful approach to developing, marketing, or selling IT products in the Digital Age.

IT translators aren’t just fluent in their languages, they also master all the relevant terminology by staying up to date with the latest developments in their fields of specialization. Just like you wouldn’t trust your marketing team to write the code for your programs, you shouldn’t entrust IT translations to anyone but expert technical translators who specialize in information technology. Most IT translators work exclusively in the field of information technology language services in order to remain fully and continuously immersed in the industry. In such a fast-paced field, they can’t risk missing any new developments.
Digital technology has grown to include a broad range of specializations. Software, hardware, infrastructure, telecommunications, and information security, for example, are each immense industries with their own terminology and intricacies. Each of these fields then intersects with other aspects of our digital lives, such as design and data protection. As a result, IT translators also tend to focus on specific topics. Translating manuals for computer hardware engineers, for example, requires a very different approach than translating an app’s user interface. This level of specialization is key to delivering the most accurate, high-quality translations possible. Some of the types of IT translations we offer include:
