Technical translation & language technology for European industry
We help European manufacturers that translate technical documentation continuously turn translation from a recurring cost into an asset that grows with every release. 20+ years of technical localisation, machine translation controlled by your glossary and translation memory, transparent reuse reporting, and a memory that stays yours.
Translation programs fail in predictable patterns.
If your company translates documentation continuously across markets, you have almost certainly met several of these.
Terminology drift
Multiple translators or vendors working over time with no shared glossary, so the same safety instruction reads differently across product lines and markets.
Invisible QA gaps
Machine translation adopted for speed, with no systematic check for number errors, unit inconsistencies, or glossary violations before delivery.
Coordination friction
Every request means an email, a quote, a wait, a follow-up, then another cycle for revisions. Weeks pass. CE filing deadlines do not move.
Vendor lock-in
Translation memories built on your own content, held by the supplier under undefined ownership terms. Switching vendors means losing linguistic history.
Subsidiary misalignment
Head office delivers translations that local teams re-check and partially retranslate, because terminology never reflected what their market expects.
Cost opacity
Per-word invoices with match bands, but no trend reporting: no visibility into whether reuse rates are rising or falling, or why.
What makes us structurally different.
Not a service promise. These are properties of how the solution and the contract are built. You can verify every one of them.
Transparent leverage reporting
You see fuzzy, ICE, and repetition rates quarter over quarter with access to the underlying logs, not a summary PDF. When reuse drops, we explain why, including when the cause is on our side.
The translation memory is your asset
Exported in portable format on request, at any time, with glossaries and term bases. Share it with any supplier you like. We earn your next project on merit, not on lock-in.
Glossary-controlled machine translation
Machine translation follows your approved glossary and draws on your translation memory, so terminology stays consistent from the first draft.
Set up by language experts
Our language technology team sets up your glossary and translation memory, and our experts can help you improve them as your documentation grows.
Three steps, one workflow
Your glossary, your translation memory, and machine translation controlled by both, in one workflow that builds on itself with every release.
20+ years of technical depth
Machinery Regulation, CE documentation, DITA, S1000D, InDesign, FrameMaker. Our team knows the formats, the compliance context, and the authoring tools industrial documentation runs on.
We work with companies that translate continuously.
European manufacturers of complex, regulated industrial equipment
Technical documentation teams filing CE and Machinery Regulation content
Enterprise organisations managing translation across multiple vendors or entities
Procurement teams consolidating linguistic assets after a merger or acquisition
What we are not
Saying this up front saves everybody a call.
Not a one-time or transactional translation vendor.
Not a creative agency or general marketing localization shop.
Not a website redesign or structural localization provider. We translate web and software content; design and code changes are outside our scope.
Not a software-only tool. TUBE is a complete solution: technology supports the workflow, and expert linguists and project managers are always part of it.
Language technology that brings you value.
We have refined our translation tools and processes for more than 20 years. Reusing what you have already translated cuts repeated cost and keeps terminology consistent, from a single leaflet to a full documentation set.
CAT & MT technologies
Large-volume translation delivered accurately and on time. CAT tools and AI-managed machine translation, configured and validated by our linguists, handle any word count without trading quality for speed.
Translation memory
Reuse what you have already translated to cut cost, speed up delivery and keep text and terminology consistent. The memory is built from your content and remains your asset.
Alignment
Documents you translated in the past are aligned and imported into your translation memory, so years of existing translations become reusable in every future project.
Glossary
We build and maintain a glossary of your approved terms and apply it throughout every translation. Essential for companies that work to standardised terminology.
Pre-processing
Line breaks, incorrect hyphenation, page breaks and text locked in images are resolved before translation, so they never enter the workflow or add avoidable cost.
Post-processing
Multilingual DTP makes translated print and digital documents look right in every language, and files are returned in their original format, ready to publish.
Turn translation from a recurring cost into a controlled asset.
Tell us how your documentation moves today and which markets it has to reach. We will show you what your leverage looks like, and what it could look like.
