Robot manuals and machine documentation
for the market you are shipping to

Robot manuals, MES/SCADA interfaces and CE machinery files — translated into the language of the destination market, with safety terminology mapped to the governing standard.

Why this is harder than it looks

01

The destination market decides the language

Machinery documentation has to reach the operator in a language they actually read. This is a market-access requirement, not a preference — equipment can be held up over documentation that is otherwise complete.

02

Safety terms are defined, not chosen

Terms used in safety instructions map to specific wording in the governing standard. Translating them freely — even accurately in a general sense — breaks the link between your documentation and the standard it is supposed to demonstrate conformity with.

03

Interface and manual drift apart

An MES or SCADA screen and the manual describing it are usually translated as separate jobs, often at different times. The operator then reads one term on screen and another in the manual, which is exactly when a procedure gets performed wrong.

Documents we handle

  • Industrial robot manual
  • Cobot documentation
  • MES / SCADA interface strings
  • CE machinery technical file
  • Safety instructions
  • Installation & commissioning guide
  • Training material

What governs the work

EU Machinery Directive
Documentation required in the language of the destination market.
ISO 10218
Safety requirements for industrial robots and robot systems — safety terminology mapped to the standard.
Interface consistency
UI strings and manuals handled as one linked set so screen and documentation agree.

Smart Manufacturing questions

Machinery placed on the EU market must be accompanied by instructions in the official language(s) of the member state where it is put into service, with the specific requirement set per market. Plan your language set around your actual destination markets, and confirm the current requirements for each with your conformity assessment partner.
Yes, and we recommend handling them together with the manuals that describe them. Character limits, placeholder syntax and variable names are preserved so the build is not broken, and screen terminology is kept identical to manual terminology.
Safety terms are mapped to the wording of the governing standard rather than translated freely, and locked in the termbase before review. Where your documentation must demonstrate conformity with a specific standard, the terminology has to point back at that standard to do its job.
Operator manuals and training material are typically Angel Pro (L2) — AI draft with expert refinement. CE technical files and safety-critical instructions move to Angel Premium (L3), which is expert-led with a LISA QA 3.1 audit. We will tell you which applies to your document set rather than defaulting to the higher tier.
Yes. Format restoration is a defined step in the delivery process — documents are returned in their original layout rather than as loose text for your team to rebuild. Confirm your source format at kickoff so it is set up correctly from the start.
