English to Bulgarian technical translation

Increasing exports: Technical translations into Bulgarian are mandatory

Altogether compared to the previous year, exports from Germany to Bulgaria increased by 6 percent to almost 3.7 billion euros (2017), with an enormous range of products sold: from machines, cars and car parts, to food and animal feed, IT and electronic equipment, as well as chemical and pharmaceutical products, electrical equipment and many other goods.

Seeing that, it is all the more important to provide technical translations into Bulgarian that meet the needs of the respective product and target group. On the one hand, this entails technical details. On the other hand correct and comprehensible language. To illustrate some of the most common translation jobs:

• Brochures and flyers
• Instruction leaflets, user manuals, operating instructions, application reports and data sheets
• Software
• CMS data

Undoubtedly, high quality technical translations from English into Bulgarian enhance the handling of various products as well as the reputation of companies. So, with PRODOC, you have a partner at your side who meets these requirements in every case – and in the most diverse areas.

The Bulgarian language and its origins

To point out, Bulgarian belongs to the Slavic linguistic family – and here in particular to the South Slavic branch. Likewise, other representatives include Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, Macedonian and Slovenian. But in Macedonian, there is room for debate. While some see a Bulgarian dialect in the language, others regard it as independent.

On the whole, about nine million people use Bulgarian as their mother tongue, most of them live in the Republic of Bulgaria. At the same time, the largest minorities using the Bulgarian language outside the country’s borders live in south-eastern European countries. For example Greece, the former Yugoslav states, Romania, Moldova, but also Turkey and Ukraine. Additionally, according to estimates, there are currently around 40,000 Bulgarians living in Germany.

English to Bulgarian technical translations – the challenges

The Bulgarian language comprises 30 Cyrillic letters. However, Bulgarian differs from the Russian alphabet. Especially since the spelling reform in 1945, more letters have been removed. So they no longer play a role in modern technical translations from English into Bulgarian.

Furthermore, it is also unusual that the various cases in Bulgarian are not very pronounced. Thereupon, learning the Bulgarian language is facilitated. However, translations require the secure handling of prepositions in order to communicate clear information.

Of course, you can be sure that PRODOC’s Bulgarian technical translators will not only take into account the colloquial language, but also the relevant technical terminology.

Correspondingly, these high quality standards are ensured by an elaborate testing procedure. I.e., every technical translation from English into Bulgarian is checked by a second technical translator. To emphasize: any possible doubts can be resolved before the texts are delivered.

In addition, PRODOC is certified in accordance with ISO 17100 and places great importance on these high standards.
