Benefits of Simplified Technical English

Safety starts with quality. The best product is only as good as its documentation and technical data that allow the customer to make optimum use of it.

Simplified Technical English case study

Our customer is a manufacturer of mobile X-ray based imaging solutions. They created an operator manual and a service manual in Standard English. This manual is to be translated into 7 other languages. Read on to learn more.

Terminology management

In Simplified English, one word equals one meaning: there is only one approved word for every concept, and every approved word can have only one meaning. This effectively eliminates ambiguity on the word level.
