Technical and scientific translation projects from or into the Finnish language

When you translate technical documentation into Finnish, you ensure that Finns understand how your product works. The presence of science and technology in everyday life is such that it is essential to plan well in advance the management of technical translations into . Nowadays, translation of technical documents from or into Finnish (instructions books, technical proposals, Standard Operating Procedures or Material Data Safety Sheets) is crucial for companies wishing to establish in other territories like Finland…  The difficulty for a translator is twofold: to translate technical terminology correctly, but also to adapt to the local speech culture of your Finnish potential leads.

Accuracy and thoroughness in our work are essential, and the slightest error in a technical translation of Finnish can have serious consequences. The world of technology relies on clear and concise technical documents. However, who has not come across an instruction manual for an electrical appliance that is totally incomprehensible? Or worse, with grammatical and syntactic errors that impoverish the company’s image in front of our English-speaking or Finnish clients.

It is worth remembering that in a technical translation from English into Finnish we should always consider two aspects: the technical and the linguistic side. For this reason, and also because translators have to be constantly trained, this type of translation service is usually more expensive than translating a general text.

Finnish Technical Documentation is needed to demonstrate compliance with national and international standards and directives. Technical patents, product catalogues or technical drawings: all these documents officially certify that all business and operating procedures are correct and in accordance with legal requirements. 

If you do not submit all this documentation, your company risks losing Finnish-speaking customers or, worse, being banned from marketing your product in Finland… Investing in the Finnish translation of your technical documentation gives your company long-term security. On the other hand, it is a sign of professionalism towards your customers, employees and business partners in Finland

A good translation shows that your company cares about your employees and suppliers having all the information both in English and in Finnish, and that they work in good conditions.

Technical Translations Spanish-English-Finnish

Many companies and industries need accurate and reliable technical translations into Finnish whenever they acquire products and services from countries like Finland… and these have to comply with domestic compliance processes. Any time you do business with Finnish companies, it is vital that you understand exactly what you are buying.

Similarly, when you sell products and and services to other countries (Finland…) you will be compelled to provide your documentation in Finnish.

Technical Translation refers to files such as operation manuals, technical sheets or websites containing highly-specialized information. Translation of software strings, patents and user manuals are among the most demanded services. ESmedo is a Technical Translation Company that manages translation projects into any combination between Spanish-English-Finnish. We translate, edit and review any kind of technical documentation: product descriptions, tendering documents, technical and scientific reports, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) or Safety Data Sheets (SDS).

Text Strings

Translation and localization, from Finnish or into Finnish, of software text strings requires good planning and checking. The translation of software strings is a specific area of technical translation. First of all, and before the translation process begins, the project manager has to correctly import the files in order to extract the text to be translated, leaving the code intact and respecting the character encoding. Strings usually contain isolated and out-of-context words and commands. For that reason, professional technical Finnish translators need a reference and some context to do their job well. It is always a good idea to get some screenshots of the software interface.

Patents

Translation of patents from English into Finnish are only assigned to translators with a solid linguistic, technical and legal background. Patent drafting uses very specific language, with rigid legal and practical requirements.

The patents describe a number of technical data, referring also to future applications of the invention, but without disclosing vital details.

User manuals

Translating user manuals from Spanish or English into Finnish requires a solid knowledge of a particular field, and the ability to express complex concepts in a simple language. This type of translation is in high demand, as all technology companies that do business with Finland, need their user manuals to be properly translated into Finnish.

Native Finnish linguists

The quality of our mother-tongue Finnish translators is based on a meticulous selection of profiles based on academic merit and professional experience as technicians and scientists. Our linguists are native Finns and always translate into any of the Finnish variants spoken in Finland

Technical translators not only know the technical terms and phrases. They are acquainted with the subject area and can make knowledgeable decisions based on their expertise.

On the other hand, each sector that relies on technical translations works with specific terminology and sometimes with specific technical jargon. Someone who is not connected with the industry will not be able to provide accurate Finnish translations, simply because they are not familiar with the terminology used by doctors, engineers or chemists.

In order for English-Finnish technical translations to be cost-effective and professional, specialists rely on Computer Aided Translation tools. These tools allow linguists to offer a quality service no matter how complex the terminology. With a good glossary of terms and a well-managed translation memory, we ensure that translations are consistent throughout. This is essential in !{wpv-post-taxonomy type=”idioma” format=”name”] technical translations, where linguists work with a lot of documentation.

Translation Technologies

For complex technical translation projects for Finnish-English or English-Finnish we create specialized terminology glossaries, subject to verification and approval by the client. Likewise we build translation memories (Spanish-English-Finnish multilingual files), which ensures a consistency in the translation, speeds up the process and leads to significant money savings. We work for clients in Finland among other countries. For each of them we set up specific translation memories and terminology database that they can review and approve.

A quick overview of the Finnish language

Finnish belongs, together with Estonian and Hungarian, to the Finno-Ugric language family.

Despite the considerable differences with Hungarian, the relationship is evident from the phonological, morphological and syntactic characteristics, the common principle of vowel harmony, the agglutinative structure of the language and the absence of a grammatical gender, as well as from the complex case systems (15 in Finnish and 17 in Hungarian).
