Understand the technology.
Communicate it clearly.
We connect your specialist requirements with the specific purpose of the document.
Science & technology
Semiconductors, biotechnology and IT require distinct terminology and subject context.
Documents & audiences
From catalogues to firmware, readers, purpose and output format shape the translation.
Your product develops.
The terminology stays aligned.
Project knowledge, approved terms and maintained language resources support subsequent versions.
Precise terminology
Technical factual text needs unambiguous terms, clear sentences and consistent information.
Appropriate tone
Technical marketing explains benefits and functions in engaging language for the intended audience.
Connected versions
For updates, we distinguish new content, changes and reusable passages.
Agreed checks
Specialist, linguistic and technical checks are defined for the document type and use.
Documents & deliverables
From component
to application.
Your specialist team considers the context in which the document will be used.
- Product flyers, shop copy and catalogues
- Design descriptions and bills of quantities
- Assembly instructions and operating manuals

Knowledge for your project.
More than 50 technical subject areas
Our technical fields range from mechanical and automotive engineering through environmental technology and civil engineering to semiconductors, biotechnology and IT. Alongside specialisation, the language combination, document type and intended use matter for each project.
A specialist team combines language expertise with an understanding of technical relationships. Customer references, existing documents and subject contacts help establish precise terms and resolve technical questions.
Factual text and technical marketing
Terminology-heavy technical text usually needs a factual, concise style. Technical marketing also needs to engage readers and explain benefits clearly. We consider these different purposes when selecting teams and handling the text.
Product flyers, design descriptions, manuals, bills of quantities, test reports, catalogues and firmware have their own requirements. Teams can work in parallel for multiple target languages; delivery is planned around volume, capacity and review steps.
Expertise for the intended use
Technical language versions support international manufacturing, product launches and research. Content may be used in online shops, construction tenders, technical opinions in patent disputes, scientific articles, assembly instructions or software manuals.
Translators need to use specialist terms accurately and explain relationships clearly for a particular audience. Wording that is precise for development engineers may need further explanation for users. The agreed communication objective determines the language approach.
Document cycles, continuity and review
Mechanical engineering and software localization often involve extensive documentation with numerous versions and short update cycles. Consistent terminology across these versions is a key project objective.
CAT tools, translation memories and termbases support continued work. For ongoing document lines, we agree team continuity and knowledge transfer. Matches from earlier translations are checked in their new context; new or changed content receives the required editing.
zappmedia GmbH’s quality management is ISO 9001 certified. Our information security management conforms to ISO 27001; this does not indicate ISO 27001 certification. Specific checks, access and data processing are agreed for the project.
