Product Catalogs and Datasheets - Specifications Exact, Safety Data Compliant, Marketing Text Native

Technical datasheets and specifications

A technical datasheet (data sheet, specification sheet, Datenblatt, scheda tecnica, fiche technique, техническое описание) states what a product is and does in numbers: dimensions, weights, materials, ratings, tolerances, performance curves, operating conditions, standards complied with, approvals and ordering codes, in a dense layout of tables and diagrams that an engineer or a purchaser reads against a requirement. Its translation is a matter of exactness and terminology: every value and unit reproduced with separators converted correctly, every standard cited in its designation, every material and rating rendered by the term the target industry uses, and the ordering codes and part numbers untouched. We translate datasheets with engineers in the product's field - electrical, mechanical, civil and building materials, chemical, HVAC, IT and telecoms, medical devices, automotive - with a numerical reader checking every value, and we keep a terminology database per manufacturer and product range so that a component is called the same thing in every datasheet, the catalog and the manual.

Safety data sheets and chemical documentation

Safety data sheets for chemicals and mixtures are regulatory documents in a prescribed format - the sixteen sections of the GHS and the EU CLP and REACH regulations, adopted in Georgia's chemical safety rules and, in different forms, in the EAEU, Turkey, China and other markets - and they must be supplied in the language of the country where the product is placed on the market, to the format the regulation requires, with the hazard classifications, the H and P statements in their official wording, the pictograms, the composition, the exposure limits and the transport classifications exactly right. We translate safety data sheets with chemists who know the regulations, using the official translations of hazard and precautionary statements in each language, the target market's occupational exposure limits and transport regulations, and the format the regulator expects, and we translate the labels and the exposure scenarios that accompany them. For Georgian producers of chemicals, cosmetics, fertilizers and cleaning products exporting to the EU, Turkey and the EAEU, we produce the market-compliant SDS in the destination's language.

Catalogs, brochures and marketing content

A catalog sells as well as specifies, and its translation must do both: the product descriptions, benefits, applications and company story in native marketing language that a buyer in the target country finds natural and persuasive, and the specifications inside them exact. We translate and localize catalogs with a two-stage process - an engineer for the technical content and a native editor for the commercial text - adapt the tone, units, currency and cultural references to the market (a German industrial buyer reads a different register from a Turkish or a Chinese one), write or adapt headings and slogans rather than translating them literally, and check the result against the client's brand guidelines and existing translations. Georgian manufacturers and exporters of wine, mineral water, food, building materials, textiles and machinery use this for their export catalogs; foreign manufacturers and their Georgian distributors use it for Georgian and Russian catalogs for the local market.

Labels, packaging and regulatory text

Labels and packaging are read by consumers and by market inspectors, and their text is regulated: product names and descriptions, ingredient lists and allergen declarations (with INCI names for cosmetics and the food labeling rules' order and emphasis), nutritional information, warnings and hazard statements, instructions for use, batch and date formats, the manufacturer's and importer's details, and the marks and symbols each market requires, in the language and layout each market's rules prescribe. Georgia's labeling rules require Georgian text for food, cosmetics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and many consumer products; the EAEU requires Russian and, in Kazakhstan, Kazakh; Turkey requires Turkish; the EU requires the language of each member state. We translate labels and packaging to the rules of each market with specialists in food, cosmetics and chemical labeling, fit the text to the packaging artwork in the design files, and translate the regulatory declarations and registration documents that accompany the product.

Regulators, importers, tenders and e-commerce

Product documentation is read formally in four places. Regulators and market surveillance: datasheets, SDS, labels and instructions form part of the conformity and registration files that Georgian and foreign authorities review for machinery, electrical products, construction products, chemicals, cosmetics, food and medical devices. Importers and distributors: a Georgian importer needs the manufacturer's documentation in Georgian for customs, for the regulator and for customers, and a foreign importer of Georgian products needs the reverse. Tenders: technical proposals attach datasheets and catalogs in the tender's language, on its deadline. E-commerce: product pages on marketplaces and web shops are datasheets and catalogs in another form, localized in the platform's format with the same terminology. We translate for each with the certification the reader requires - certified translations with a certificate for regulators and tenders - and in the format it accepts, from InDesign catalogs to marketplace feeds.

Formats, terminology and how to order

Catalogs and datasheets live in design and content systems, and we deliver inside them: InDesign, Illustrator and Publisher files with layout adapted for the target language's text expansion, product information management and e-commerce exports in XLIFF, CSV and XML, web content in the client's CMS, and PDF where no source exists, with figures, tables and diagrams preserved and checked by a desktop publishing specialist. A terminology database per client and product range, built from the first project and enforced with translation memory, keeps every datasheet, catalog, label and manual consistent and makes revisions and new products fast and proportionate in cost.

Datasheets and labels are priced per page or per word at the technical tariff, SDS per document at the regulatory rate, catalogs per word with a separate rate for marketing localization, and layout work at an hourly rate, with translation memory discounts and framework rates for manufacturers, importers and distributors. A datasheet or a label is translated in one business day; an SDS in one to two; a catalog with a team in one to three weeks. To order, send the files in their source format with the target markets, any glossary and brand guidelines on email or through a file transfer; we reply within the hour with a fixed quote, the specialists and a schedule, and deliver ready to print or publish.
