From presses to bending machines, our excellent translation services assist you in every language

Since 2001, we have provided professional multilingual translations for machine tool  and industrial machinery documentation.

Our work to date has resulted in the translation of over 15,000,000  words, including technical manuals, catalogues , AutoCAD drawings, technical specifications, tender documents, international standards, patents, software programs. Industry leader OMR Spa has praised us, saying: “We appreciate the quality of the texts provided by Studio Moretto Group as well as their excellent service”.

Glossaries compiled

Below is a list of the in-house terminology bases we have compiled to standardise the terminology of our translations (over 60,000 specialised technical terms in Italian, English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Hungarian, Romanian, Czech, Slovakian, Slovenian, Croatian, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Chinese, Turkish and Arabic):

  • Automation and Industrial plants: robotic workstations, handling systems (magnetic systems) and processing lines (rolling mills, paint stripping lines, sandblasting, welding, laser cutting, mechanical deformation, heat treatment, surface finishing and packaging);
  • Machine tools: drills, lathes, milling machines, grinders, sharpening machines, planers, filing machines, shapers, broaching machines, boring machines, bending machines and shearing machines;
  • Presses: we primarily translate technical texts related to sheet metal forming presses, both hydraulic and mechanical.

We translate with the help of experts

Mechanical, electronic and computer engineers work alongside our linguists to ensure that our translations are the result of an in-depth understanding of the subject matter.

Work process

All our work is checked before delivery through revisions compliant with UNI EN standards 10.574 and 15.038 and ISO 17.100, and our terminology research is governed by our Terminology Research Protocol which we officially presented at the Translation Studies Convention at the Università Cattolica in Brescia in 2010.

In-house training

Our translators undergo  constant training through in-house illustrative materials on the specifics of each project, preliminary briefings and visits to our clients’ sites (we visited 21 plants in Italy and Germany in 2021 alone). Additionally, the feedback from our clients and revisers on each translation is an important element of ongoing training for our translators.
