Translation services for the manufacturing industry
Documentation that ships as fast as the machines it describes.
For more than 20 years, we have translated manuals, CE declarations, spare parts catalogues and safety instructions for manufacturers. We know the ins and outs of technical translation in your industry, and every correction feeds a translation memory you own.
Why manufacturers trust us
Translations for the manufacturing industry you can trust.
With more than 20 years in the language industry, we know the ins and outs of technical translation for manufacturers: the documents, the formats, the terminology and the regulations behind every product you ship.
01
ISO 17100 certified
Certified translation processes, audited every year, with a second qualified linguist revising every translation.
02
Translation technology integration experts
Translation memory, terminology and machine translation integrated into the way your documentation is produced.
03
Cost-effective solutions
Reused content, controlled terminology and the right mix of technology and linguists keep your cost per release down.
04
Limitless formats
From DITA, S1000D and XML to InDesign, FrameMaker and Word, we work in the formats your documentation already uses.
What we translate
Documentation we handle every day.
Every document that ships with your machines, translated accurately and consistently, release after release.
User and maintenance manuals
Instructions that let your users operate, maintain and troubleshoot your machines safely, in their own language.
Installation and assembly instructions
Clear, accurate steps that reduce the risk of installation errors, product failure and injury.
Declarations of conformity and CE marking
Flawless translations of the documents you need to demonstrate compliance and sell on the EU market.
Safety procedures and warnings
Hazard warnings and safety procedures that meet regulatory requirements and protect your users.
Product sheets and spare parts catalogues
Accurate specifications, features and part names for every market you sell in.
Technical brochures
Multilingual brochures that present your products clearly, laid out and ready to print.
EU Machinery Directive
Translation solutions that comply with EU machinery standards.
Under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, machinery placed on the EU market must come with instructions in the official language of the country where it is used, together with a translated declaration of conformity. We translate your original instructions, declarations and safety information so they meet these requirements in every market you ship to.
Instructions translated from your original instructions
EC and EU declarations of conformity
Safety warnings, markings and labels
Consistent terminology across machine variants and releases
Coming on 20 January 2027
The new Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230
The Machinery Regulation replaces the Machinery Directive and applies from 20 January 2027. It allows instructions for use to be supplied in digital format, while users can still ask for a paper copy, and instructions must be in a language users can easily understand, as set by each Member State.
We can help you prepare your documentation and translation workflows before the deadline.

Why manufacturers come to us
Multilingual documentation is a compliance requirement, not a courtesy.
Every market you ship into has its own language requirement for safety instructions, and every release means the same manual, again, in every one of those languages.
01
One memory across every release
Corrections your engineers make land in the memory once and apply to every subsequent version and product line, so reuse climbs release over release instead of flattening.
02
QA that catches what filing deadlines can't wait for
Automated checks run after every machine translation step for number errors, unit inconsistencies, and glossary violations, then a human reviser signs off before delivery.
03
Native authoring format, no reformatting step
DITA, S1000D, InDesign and FrameMaker content is parsed and returned in its original structure: no manual copy-paste, no broken tagging.
04
Dealers and in-country teams review in context
Reviewers work directly in the CAT environment rather than exported Word files, so terminology feedback from the field reaches the memory immediately.
05
The memory is exportable, on request, any time
Built entirely from your terminology and your safety instructions, it stays your asset, in portable format, with glossaries and term bases included.
06
20+ years in the compliance context
Machinery Regulation and CE documentation are not something we learn on your project. The formats and the filing requirements are already familiar.
Desktop publishing
Manuals that look right in every language.
Translated text grows, shrinks and changes direction. Our DTP team works in your original files, so diagrams, callouts, tables and page layouts stay correct and every manual is ready to print or publish.

We have been working with DEMA for a few years now on the translation of manuals: they are a great partner – professional, fast, and efficient, with a team of helpful and kind people. Our native-speaking dealers have also praised the quality and accuracy of the translations.

The advertising agency that follows us called me to tell me that the layout of the brochures that DEMA SOLUTIONS translated was perfect, he added that the translations never come this way, neither from us nor from their other clients. They were very satisfied.

Our collaboration with Dema has made it possible for us to look at the ‘translation issue’ as nothing more than a formality. Giardina Group is an engineering company that specializes in the design and production of innovative surface finishing and coating technologies. We export 90% of our production, and our ability to communicate with our customers in their own language – by providing clear, precise and professional documents – is a significant competitive advantage and an essential part of the high-quality service for which we are known. Our collaboration with Dema has proven to be of immense value: they are an attentive, reliable partner who responds quickly to our needs, even in ‘emergency’ situations.

When I first came into contact with REM Traduzioni more than 10 years ago, our roles were reversed. They were our client and commissioned us to develop their company website. We soon began to involve Elisabetta and Gloria in the projects we manage for our customers. Our collaboration has blossomed over time, thanks to their ability to deliver a consistently high-quality, professional service in every situation. REM Traduzioni has always been the partner of choice for us when it comes to multilingual communication.

I got to know REM Traduzioni a few years ago when I joined the Ferretto Group. Elisabetta and Gloria were already trusted suppliers to the Ferretto Group and after the first few days I knew I would not be disappointed. The quality of the translations provided, the professionalism of the team, and their willingness to take on even the most urgent and complex projects make REM Traduzioni an invaluable partner on which we can rely to develop all our communication projects.

FAQ
Questions about manufacturing translation.
Which documents need to be translated under the EU machinery rules?
Instructions for use, safety information and the declaration of conformity must be available in the language required by each country where the machine is placed on the market. Our team can help you confirm the scope for your markets.
What changes with the Machinery Regulation in 2027?
From 20 January 2027, the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 replaces the Machinery Directive. Among other changes, it allows instructions to be supplied in digital format, while users can still request a paper copy.
Can you work in our authoring formats?
Yes. We work in DITA, S1000D, XML, InDesign, FrameMaker, Word and many other formats, and return files in the same structure.
How do you keep terminology consistent across machine variants?
We build a glossary of your approved terms and a translation memory of your approved translations, so the same component always has the same name in every language and every release.
See what your leverage looks like on your next release.
Send us a recent manual and your current memory. We will report the real reuse rate, the terminology inconsistencies we find, and what the next release would cost with the memory working properly.
