Online glossaries & resources for German technical translation
German technical translation is another very specialized translation field.
With
sub-specializations in IT, manufacturing, engineering etc., many German
translators who work in the field of technical translation do no other
type of translation – they are in great demand in industry, science and
IT.
Germany's reputation as a hotbed of technical innovation is both deserved and legendary, and “Made in Germany” is an accepted seal of quality worldwide.
Working as a German technical translator offers great career prospects for linguists with a technical background, or with a keen interest in science and technology.
Here are some useful links to good glossaries of German technical
terms and technology lists for electrical, mechanical and civil
engineering, maths, IT and other related fields.
I hope they help!

TIP! German technical translators often work with very similar texts - often in a fairly narrow niche. This makes translation programs or CAT tools invaluable. They help reduce translation time, enhance consistency & boost output.
