35+ years of building manuals means we catch what translators miss, from structural gaps to UI text that doesn't match the screenshots.
We lock terminology and style before translation, so part names and instructions stay consistent across every page and language.
Our own teams handle translation, multilingual DTP, localized screenshots, and illustrations, so nothing is passed to a translation-only vendor.
We lock your glossary, termbase, and style before translation, so every language stays consistent from the first page.
When the source manual has errors that would carry into translation, we rewrite it for clarity first, so the translation starts from a clean base.
Specialist translators handle your manual, with a second independent linguist reviewing every segment (ISO 17100).
Our in-house teams lay out each language to read like a real manual, localize screenshots and illustrations, and verify that UI text and formatting fit every locale.
We save your approved translations as a translation memory, cutting cost and keeping consistency across every future manual and revision.
Hansem translates the technical content inside your manuals, including instructions, specifications, safety messages, and UI text, with linguists who understand engineering, IT, and manufacturing. Every term stays aligned with your glossary, so the result reads like a manual rather than a literal conversion.

Hansem designs and illustrates your manuals in-house, from technical illustrations to user-focused layouts that work in any language. Visuals are created or adapted for each market, so your manuals stay clear wherever they ship.
Hansem handles post-translation DTP across 100+ languages — typesetting, file preparation, multimedia localization, and PDF remediation, including accessibility for users with disabilities. Your manuals come back publish-ready, with layout intact in every script.
We build and maintain translation memories and terminology databases to keep approved wording consistent across products, languages, and revisions. As manuals evolve through model variants, regional versions, and product updates, existing translation assets are reused so only new or changed content needs to be handled.
This helps reduce unnecessary retranslation, maintain terminology consistency, and support faster, more reliable multilingual updates over the product lifecycle.
Approved translations become reusable assets for every future update.![]()
