Professional manufacturing translation services

Manufacturing runs on precision. When instructions, torque values, or safety notes are mistranslated, the result can be downtime, scrap, or worse—safety incidents. Global plants rely on multilingual SOPs, operator training, and vendor documentation to keep production moving. Translating these assets demands more than fluency; it requires sector expertise and rigorous terminology control.

Compliance adds complexity. In the U.S., manufacturers align with OSHA safety guidelines, FDA device labeling (21 CFR), and industry-specific standards. In Europe, CE marking, REACH, and RoHS shape requirements, while other regions enforce their own regulations. Labels, SDS, product literature, and declarations must be translated accurately and formatted correctly to pass audits, inspections, and market surveillance.

Market expansion also depends on language. From parts catalogs and installation guides to warranty terms and after-sales support, localized content improves customer trust, reduces support tickets, and accelerates adoption. Bids and tenders benefit from precise technical language that communicates quality and capability across borders—critical when competing in new geographies.

Safety and operational culture are multilingual. Clear lockout/tagout procedures, maintenance instructions, and hazard communications help protect teams and equipment. Kings of Translation delivers certified translations recognized worldwide for legal, regulatory, academic, and business use. For U.S. use cases, we provide certified translations accepted by USCIS and other authorities when documentation is required in cross-border operations and corporate matters.

Our translators are subject-matter specialists—engineers, technical writers, and QA professionals with experience across mechanical, electrical, industrial, and process manufacturing. They use approved glossaries and style guides to keep terminology consistent across work instructions, drawings, and quality files, ensuring every document aligns with your production reality.

We run ISO 17100–compliant workflows with dual-linguist review, in-context checks, and final QA. Our teams understand FDA 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, IEC standards, ATEX, and CE/UKCA documentation. For SDS, we follow GHS and local adaptations. Version control and audit trails provide full traceability, helping you demonstrate compliance during audits and supplier assessments.

Pricing is straightforward: standard translations from $0.06 per word and certified translations at $32.90 per page in the U.S. Typical short documents complete in 24–48 hours; large manuals are scheduled with phased deliveries. We’re an ATA member with BBB A+ accreditation, and our customer-first approach shows in our 98% client return rate. Certified translations are accepted by USCIS and recognized globally.

Beyond translation, we provide desktop publishing and engineering checks in InDesign, FrameMaker, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and handle text extraction for AutoCAD annotations. Multilingual typesetting preserves layouts, icons, and safety symbols. We never rely on machine-only output—our technology supports human expertise for accuracy you can put on the line.

Kings of Translation integrates with your tech stack to streamline updates and reduce manual work. Connect product content from PLM and ERP systems like SAP, Oracle, Siemens Teamcenter, or Windchill. Our secure API supports automated submissions, SSO access, and role-based permissions so engineering, quality, and documentation teams can collaborate effortlessly.

Translation memory and terminology management keep recurring content consistent and cost-efficient. Approved termbases (TBX) protect critical phrases—part names, tolerances, and safety language—while translation memory leverages previous work to accelerate new releases and engineering changes, improving ROI with every update.

We support structured content and component authoring, including DITA and XML-based manuals, as well as CMS integrations like Adobe Experience Manager. Automated workflows route content for translation, review, and desktop publishing, then return files in native formats. Issue tracking and change logs align with your internal CRs and ECOs to maintain traceability.

As programs scale across sites and product lines, dedicated project managers coordinate schedules, stakeholders, and languages. Secure file handling, NDAs, and encryption protect your IP at every step. The result: reliable delivery, predictable budgets, and a translation engine that grows with your manufacturing footprint.
