Technical accuracy for automotive and engineering content
Technical and engineering translation demands more than fluency — it requires a working understanding of how the systems being described actually function, so that instructions remain safe and precise once translated. I provide English to Turkish technical and engineering translation, with a particular depth of experience in automotive, electric vehicle and diagnostic content, alongside broader industrial and manufacturing documentation.
What’s included
- Automotive how-to guides, diagnostic and repair procedures
- Electric vehicle (EV) systems, charging, and battery content
- Product manuals and technical documentation
- Software and hardware testing and localisation review
- Press releases and articles on technical and engineering developments
Recent examples of my work
- Phinia (Delphi Auto Parts) – ongoing translation and subtitling of the “Masters of Motion” how-to video series, covering brake fluid checks, NOx sensor testing, regenerative braking, high-voltage system power-down procedures, injector diagnostics, and headlight alignment on Tesla and BMW vehicles, plus marketing brochures and press releases
- BorgWarner – subtitle translation and transcreation for a how-to video series on EV connectors, charging, alternator testing, battery replacement and diagnostics
- Canon – on-site localisation and software testing of printer manuals and software products
- Nokia-Vertu – on-site localisation of mobile phone manuals, operating system content, and functional software testing
- Xerox – ongoing proofreading of technical and product content
- Fujitsu – localisation of the Virtual Agent customer service bot, requiring an understanding of the underlying software logic
Why work with me
I combine linguistic qualifications — Chartered Linguist (CIOL), ITI membership, ISO 17100:2015 certification — with genuine hands-on experience of technical and software testing, having reviewed manuals, tested applications, and worked directly with engineering and product teams rather than translating in isolation. That combination is what keeps technical translations both linguistically accurate and functionally correct.
