What technical translation is
Technical translation is what a document needs when a wrong term changes the meaning of the content. A manual, a regulatory dossier, a technical report or a contract is not read for style: it is read to be applied, audited or enforced. The translator therefore has to know the subject, not only the language.
At Eko’s each project goes to a translator with proven experience in the relevant sector, and a glossary is built and kept for each client. That is what makes the same term appear the same way across documents produced months apart, which is exactly what an auditor or a regulator looks for.
Technical is not the same as sworn. Technical translation is defined by subject matter; sworn translation is defined by legal effect. A contract may need one, the other, or both, depending on what it will be used for. If you are not sure, tell us the purpose and we will say which one applies.
Quality control is part of the service and not an extra: terminology, cohesion and fidelity to the source are checked before delivery, and the layout of the original is preserved, including tables, charts and figure captions.

Eko’s has been a partner for many years. Always attentive and willing to meet tight deadlines without losing the excellent quality. Having Eko’s makes a real difference in our work.
Eko’s always meets our demand and hits the deadline. They have never turned down an urgent request. They deliver quality work and are one of the very few companies qualified to work with us.
I want to congratulate Eko’s for all these years of partnership, serving us with excellence and with highly qualified, efficient professionals.
From the first contact I was well looked after, transparency at every stage and not a single problem with them, a fair price for all the work done. I do not live in Brazil and they handled every step to send my daughter’s certificate, already apostilled, here to the US.
Faster and better value than anyone else. Excellent work, service worth a ten out of ten.
I did not know them, but I decided to take a chance and have some documents translated with Eko’s. They were fast, attentive and the price was fair too. I am pleased with the service and I recommend them.
Technical Translation
What makes a translation technical?
The subject matter. A technical translation is one where an inaccurate term changes what the document means in practice, which is the case with manuals, contracts, regulatory dossiers and scientific papers. It requires a translator who knows the field, not only the language pair.
Is technical translation the same as sworn translation?
No. Technical is defined by the subject; sworn is defined by legal effect. A contract may need a technical translation, a sworn one, or both, depending on how it will be used. Tell us the purpose and we will say which applies.
How do you keep terminology consistent?
A glossary is built for each client and reused across projects, so the same term appears the same way in documents produced months apart. That consistency is precisely what auditors and regulators check.
Do you preserve the layout of the original?
Yes. Tables, charts, figures and formatting are preserved. When the file needs full desktop publishing, our electronic editing service handles it in the software the original requires.
Which sectors do you cover?
More than 20, including legal, medical, pharmaceutical, chemical, oil and gas, engineering, IT, aviation, mining, agribusiness and foreign trade. Each project is assigned to a translator with experience in the relevant sector.
How is the price calculated?
By volume of text, language pair, technical complexity and the deadline you need. The price is closed before work starts, with no hidden costs.
Send your document and get a closed price
A legible photo or a PDF is enough for a quote. You get the price, the deadline and guidance on apostilling within 1 business hour.
