At Technovate Translations, we ensure that HMI screens, engineering designs, and non-editable graphics are seamlessly translated and integrated into the final manual. Here's how our process works:

1. Initial Consultation

During our Initial Consultation, we work closely with you to understand the specific needs of your project, including:

Target Languages: Ensuring the translations meet linguistic and cultural expectations.

Formatting Requirements: Identifying the unique elements in your manual, such as HMI screens, CAD designs, and non-editable graphics, that require precise handling.

Terminology Preferences: Gathering any proprietary or industry-specific terms to ensure consistency throughout the manual.

This step allows us to tailor our approach for translating technical manuals and identify any potential challenges, ensuring a smooth translation process.


2. Extraction and Preparation of Visual Elements

HMI Screens: Text embedded in interfaces, buttons, or alerts is carefully extracted using advanced design software. We ensure all translations fit within space constraints and retain functionality.

Engineering Designs and Diagrams: Text within CAD files, schematics, and diagrams is isolated and translated, maintaining the clarity and structure of the original design.

Non-Editable Text: Using tools like Adobe InDesign, FrameMaker, or specialized CAD software, we extract and overlay translations onto graphics without disrupting the original layout.


3. Expert Translation and Quality Assurance

Translation by Specialists: Our industry-specific translators handle both the textual and visual components of your manual, ensuring technical accuracy and relevance.

Quality Checks for Graphics: Proofreading and contextual checks ensure that translated text aligns with its visual elements, maintaining usability and clarity.

HMI Screen Testing: We verify that translated text on HMI screens adheres to space limitations and retains its original functionality.


4. Integration into the Final Manual

Once the translations are complete:

All translated text and graphics are seamlessly re-integrated into their original positions.

Layouts, fonts, colors, and other design elements are preserved to maintain a professional and cohesive appearance.


5. Final Review and Delivery

Comprehensive Quality Control: Our project managers conduct a final review to ensure the manual meets your specifications and maintains consistency across all elements.

Delivery in Multiple Formats: We provide the completed manual in editable and non-editable formats, ready for immediate use in the target language.
