When manuals, machines and people work together.
In industrial projects involving machine manufacturers, system integrators and engineering teams, an operation manual is more than just a text. It plays an essential role during installation, commissioning, operator training and everyday machine operation.
This is where I work. Translating manuals that remain consistent with the machine itself and easy to understand for the people who use them.
You work directly with the translator responsible for your project, without intermediaries. This means fewer communication gaps, greater control and consistent terminology throughout the entire documentation process.
If the operation manual is a critical part of your project, let’s make sure it works in practice.

I collaborate with companies in the foundry industry, including aluminium, cast iron and non-ferrous metal foundries.
For several years, I worked on a comprehensive translation project supporting the automation of production at an aluminium piston foundry. The project involved three Italian robotic gravity casting lines, together with operation, maintenance and system configuration manuals.
I translated documentation for casting machines, pouring and extraction robots, a salt core preheating line, a laser marking system and a vision inspection system. The project also included PLC software and HMI localisation, requiring accurate translation of interface messages, process parameters and control logic while respecting character length limitations.

Since 2019, I have been collaborating with an Italian manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and other equipment designed for safe working at height.
I translate operation and maintenance manuals from Italian and English into Polish for equipment requiring regulatory approval before being placed into service in Poland.
The collaboration also includes order pickers, mobile towers, scaffolding systems and other equipment used for safe work at height.
Translation of operation and maintenance manuals for CNC machine tools, including lathes, milling machines and mill-turn centres used for the precision machining of aluminium components.
One of the largest projects I completed for a manufacturer in the aerospace industry involved the translation of a series of operation and maintenance manuals from Italian into Polish, each consisting of several hundred pages, together with a guide to the most frequently used machining programs, including the process parameters and machine settings.
CNC machine tools are among the types of equipment I translate most frequently. I regularly prepare Polish versions of operation and maintenance manuals translated from English for machine manufacturers, system integrators and companies operating in the precision machining industry.
Translation of operation, installation, maintenance and programming manuals for heat pumps, including documentation describing the use of the equipment via a mobile application.
The project required consistent terminology across installation, maintenance and programming sections, while ensuring full consistency between the manuals and the mobile application used to configure and operate the heat pump.
The number of heat pump projects has been steadily increasing in recent years. Most involve translations from English into Polish for manufacturers and distributors in the HVAC industry.
Translation of several hundred pages of operation and maintenance manuals for complete coil processing lines, including all machines and modules forming part of the system. The project covered both slitting lines and cut-to-length lines, with documentation for coil decoilers, feeding systems, levellers, shears, length measuring systems and sheet stacking stations.
The translation required consistent terminology related to sheet metal processing, machine parameters, operating sequences and safety procedures. The documentation was translated from Italian into Polish and prepared for practical use by machine operators and maintenance technicians.
Translation of an operation and maintenance manual from English into Polish for a multi-spindle drilling machine used in the woodworking industry.
The project included technical documentation covering machine operation, setup, maintenance procedures, safety instructions and machine adjustments. The Polish version was prepared for practical use by machine operators and maintenance technicians.
This project is part of my experience in translating operation and maintenance manuals for woodworking machinery.
Translation of a 180-page operation and maintenance manual from English into Polish for a melting and holding furnace used in the foundry industry.
The project was completed for a leading manufacturer of aluminium castings supplying the automotive industry. The documentation covered furnace operation, maintenance procedures, safety requirements and process-related technical information.
I provide technical manual translation for companies exporting industrial machinery in Polish, English and Italian.
I work directly with documentation intended for operational use, including installation, commissioning and maintenance.
Translation is not only about the text itself. It also requires consistency with the machine’s operating logic and the way the manual is used in real working conditions.
I translate operation and maintenance manuals for machine operators, service technicians and maintenance personnel.
A technically accurate text userthat is difficult to apply in practice can lead to errors, delays and unnecessary requests for clarification.
For this reason, my translation services (IT–PL–EN) strike a balance between technical accuracy and practical usability.
The translation of technical manuals and, more generally, technical translation for industrial machinery requires consistent terminology throughout the entire project.
Across Polish, Italian and English, even seemingly simple terms may have different meanings depending on the technical context.
I work with terminology resources developed and maintained for more than 20 years, ensuring consistency across manuals, HMI interfaces and other technical documentation.
This is an integral part of my professional technical translation services, with a particular focus on operation and maintenance manuals for the industrial sector.
As a technical translator, I provide technical manual translation for industrial companies, drawing on direct experience gained during machine installations, commissioning projects and technical training.
This enables me to deliver translations ready for practical use, whether as PDF manuals or documentation integrated into the client’s systems, without requiring further adaptation.
