FAQs: Aeronautical translation
What types of content do you translate for the aeronautical industry?
Our aeronautical translation services cover technical specifications, airworthiness directives, manuals (wiring, maintenance, troubleshooting, training, etc.), spare parts catalogues, patents, software, and much more.
How much does an aeronautical translation cost?
Our translation pricing system is based on the number of words contained in the source documents. We reduce the cost of translations with our CAT software, which uses translation memories to avoid re-translating previously translated content and detects repetitions within and between files. This allows us to offer you better turnaround times and consistent translations. For our regular clients, we use translation memories as a reference for every new order. Prices also depend on the chosen translation solution, which is tailored to the content and use context.
How can I reduce my aeronautics translation costs?
You can take several steps to reduce your translation costs:
– Prepare your documents so they’re fully editable – translating PDF documents is more expensive because they need to be reformatted first.
– Entrust the translation to a language service provider that manages translation memories for you and allows you to recycle previous translations.
– Select translation solutions and their level of accuracy according to the document’s intended use.
How do you ensure the confidentiality of your aeronautical translations?
All confidential documents entrusted to us are protected by professional secrecy as defined in Article 226-13 of the French Criminal Code, as well as by the commitments enshrined in EuropaTrad’s General Terms and Conditions of Sale. To back up these commitments, we sign specific confidentiality agreements with our clients on request.
How much time does an aeronautics translation take?
Translation speed depends directly on the complexity of the source text and the translation solution used.
Depending on the quality required and the length of the documents to translate, the turnaround time could be anything from 24h (e.g. for a 2- to 4-page document) to several days. Whatever the content format and expected quality level, our quotes systematically state the time required for the translation.
Translation turnaround times are given in the presentation of our translation solutions. Then there’s the time it takes for any page layout adjustments or approval of the insertion of translations into a website or software interface.
