Information technology (or IT for short) is the study, design, development, implementation, support, or management of computer software, systems, and networks. It includes their use for the processing and distribution of data, i.e., information, facts, statistics, etc., gathered for reference, storage, or analysis.
IT translation is the translation of IT-related materials. As a fast-moving field in which new trends, concepts, and terminology are constantly emerging, the demands made on translation providers are immeasurable. TI translators must master the very specialized terminology and keep up with the latest developments.
What does IT translation include?
Manuals
The majority of IT material to be translated consists of manuals for hardware and software products. These guides have a certain level of complexity. They not only contain IT terms but also specific concepts related to the scope of the equipment. It is always best to translate such manuals by maintaining the level of complexity.
Articles on IT
Articles for IT professionals often contain examples of coding or script commands. In order to translate these articles adequately, some basic knowledge in programming languages or in the command syntax is needed.
Comparative reviews
IT-material includes reviews of hardware and software for IT magazines and websites dedicated to information technology. Comparative reviews usually are on the latest innovations in IT and a lot of concentration is required on evaluating the details of two or more, pitting their qualities both with industry expectations and against one another.
Translation of press-releases
IT translators are required to follow the development of the IT market, have knowledge of the innovation and pay attention to the particulars of the product that has not yet been released in the target market.
Software localization
Software localization is the process of adapting software to both the culture and language of an end-user. When culture is considered, localization strategies tend to be far more efficient at generating interest in the software, which in turn has an effect on the way it is perceived.
