Professional translation of technical texts is a complex task and requires from the performer not only an excellent knowledge of foreign languages, but also special skills in a particular industry.
Translation of chemical texts, terms and names of elements
Particular attention should be paid to chemical translations, since each incorrect translation of chemical terms or instructions for the use of materials can lead to an explosion or poisoning of people, provoke damage to equipment.
Most of this documentation is published in English. Accordingly, it is the most common language in the industry. The particular complexity of chemical terminology lies in the fact that one word has several definitions. Sometimes, in combination with additional words, the term has the opposite meaning. For example, let’s take the word agent, and the chemical translation is “agent”, “means”, and in the English version it can be found as:
- chemical agent – reagent, reagent;
- oxidizing agent
- reducingagent – reducer.
The meanings of some terms, even within the same industry, are different. For example, the word – means oil, lubricant, oil.
