Help define the technical scope

Technical projects often include text outside the main paragraphs. Calling it out early avoids gaps in the quote.

01

Subject and audience

Describe the product or process and whether readers are specialists or general users.

02

Embedded text

Mention labels, diagrams, tables, screenshots, or interface strings that need translation.

03

Terminology sources

Share existing Slovak product copy, a term list, or style guidance if you have it.

What to check before ordering

These notes help you describe your request. The receiving organization’s current instructions should guide the final requirements.

Identify the reader and task

A maintenance technician, installer, support agent, and end user may need different terminology and detail. Describe the product, model or software version, and what the Slovak reader must be able to do. Say if the document is instructional, descriptive, or a record of tests or specifications.

Map text outside paragraphs

List labels in diagrams, safety messages, UI strings, tables, captions, screenshots, callouts, units, and part numbers. Explain which items must be translated and which codes or product names must remain unchanged. Counting only body text can miss a meaningful part of the job.

Provide a stable source and reference set

If available, identify the approved revision, editable source files, terminology list, product screenshots, earlier Slovak releases, and a contact who can answer technical questions. Note whether referenced figures or linked documents are part of the requested scope.

Confirm review and deliverable needs

Tell us whether the translation will be reviewed by a subject specialist, entered into software, published as a manual, or filed with another party. Clarify required output files and target date. If a safety or regulatory review is needed, arrange that review with a qualified party; a translation request alone does not establish compliance.

Common questions

Answers to common questions before you request a quote.

Can formatting be preserved?

Tell us which layout elements are important. File type and editable source material affect what is practical.

Should labels in diagrams and screenshots be included?

Yes, identify every image with text and whether you need the words translated, the image recreated, or a separate text list. The requested output affects scope.

Can part numbers and units stay unchanged?

Tell us which identifiers are controlled and whether units require any change for the target reader. Do not assume a unit conversion is part of translation.
