Automotive translation at a glance
From the requirement specification through the workshop literature to HMI and infotainment texts, we translate to fit the automotive sector – terminology-faithful across model ranges, variants and model years.
The automotive industry combines high technology with strict standards: from the drive type to the emissions standard, every term must be rendered exactly and consistently across the entire supply chain.
We translate for OEMs, suppliers and after-sales – with brand-specific glossaries, translation memory and independent revision in accordance with DIN EN ISO 17100.
For development and suppliers: safety-critical content rendered in a standards-compliant way
Do you take functional safety per ISO 26262 into account?
We translate safety-relevant content and warnings with functional safety (ISO 26262) and the quality requirements of the IATF 16949 environment in mind. Wordings that describe or avert a hazard we handle with particular care and consistent terminology.
Do you translate cybersecurity and homologation documents?
Yes. From the cybersecurity environment under ISO/SAE 21434 to type-approval and UNECE documents, we render conformity and approval documents with robust terminology – aligned with the designations of your development and of the competent authorities.
How does terminology stay consistent across model series and model years?
Brand-specific glossaries and a translation memory keep designations identical across variants, model ranges, model years and document types. We track changes along the supply chain, so OEM and supplier speak the same language.
For after-sales and documentation: onboard literature, parts catalogues and displays made to fit
Do you translate HMI and infotainment texts to fit the available space?
We transfer operating and display texts to fit the available space and length, so nothing breaks in the display. On request we review the texts in context – on the instrument cluster and head-up display – before they go into series production.
Do you handle workshop literature and parts catalogues?
Yes. We translate workshop and service information, repair instructions and parts catalogues consistently even at large volume via translation memory – so that designations stay uniform between manual, catalogue and diagnostics.
Which formats and editorial systems do you handle?
We work with XML, XLIFF, Word and Excel as well as with common editorial and DITA systems. We integrate into your existing processes and deliver back ready to typeset.
