03.Terminology

Getting the terms right

Our editors know the difference between thread cutting, thread rolling and thread milling, and we follow established industry terminology.

Translation memory and glossaries keep the terms in the CNC control interface consistent with those in the operation manual.

Before delivery, the manager also runs every file through automated checks.

04.Testimonial

Of all our suppliers, Insight Translation consistently delivers the best quality. Their translations need almost no corrections from our editors.

05.FAQ

Frequently asked questions

.01How do you make sure the terminology is right?

Our editors specialise in machine tools and know how different types of equipment work, from multi-axis machining centres to press brakes and laser cutting machines.

Translation memory keeps the terminology in the operator manual consistent with the labels on the machine buttons and in the CNC interface.

.02Do you translate CNC control interfaces (HMI)?

Yes. We work with software resource files (Excel, XML, .json) and leave the program code untouched.

We work within string length limits (number of characters), so the translated text fits on the buttons and screens of the control panel, whether the system is Fanuc, Siemens or Chinese.

.03Do you work with documentation for Chinese machine tools?

Yes, it is one of our core specialisations. We translate directly from Chinese, not from the intermediate English version supplied with the machine: translating through that English often introduces critical errors of meaning.

.04What will the finished operation manual look like?

You get a document ready to print or hand over to your customer. We keep the source layout, including complex schematics, parameter tables and assembly drawings. If the source is a scanned PDF, we rebuild it in an editable format.
