01

Where energy packages drift

Energy projects mix electrical, mechanical and civil documents with the owner’s own standards, and the owner often reads them in the other language. When a transfer switch or a generating unit is named differently in the bid documents, the specification and the operation manual, the commissioning team sorts it out on site, under the owner’s schedule. Your team feels it as a commissioning delay it cannot bill, and an owner who starts checking every document twice.

02

One term base, every document

Generation and distribution terms come from Technitrad’s NMS term base, with the owner’s and your firm’s approved terms first. The bid documents, the specification and the operation manuals are translated from that one list. Technitrad’s NMS term base holds over 15,000 terms; the term base built from your documents is yours, whether you stay with us or not. A term your engineers approved once should never need correcting again.

03

What we translate

Bid documents for utility tenders, generation and substation specifications, single-line diagrams, backup power and UPS documents, energy studies and audits, and operation and maintenance manuals, including Hydro-Québec tender packages.

NMS sections it touches

  • Power generation diesel
  • Installation of electric power generating equipment
  • Automatic transfer switches
  • Static uninterruptible power supply
  • Unit substation to 15 kV
  • Heating solar flat-plate collectors

Standard NMS text in these sections is matched against our NMS translation memory, aligned from the official English and French NMS, which lowers the cost and shortens the turnaround. Your edits are translated in the same terms. See every division and section title in both languages.

Start

At commissioning, the automatic transfer switch in the manual is the one in the specification and on the drawing, and the owner signs off on schedule. Your engineers stop correcting the same terms twice, and stop being the firm’s French proofreaders. If your own engineers translate the drawings today because an agency would send back tables to retype, start with the AI draft: your team reviews it in NEOLO, and the DWG comes back with the translation written in place. Send the package for a quote, answered within one business day, or start with a free, confidential terminology check of a recent deliverable or drawing.

FAQ

Questions

Do you translate Hydro-Québec tender documents?

Yes. Bid documents for Hydro-Québec tenders are translated on the bid schedule, in English or French, with the same term base as your specifications and drawings.

What is a generating unit in French?

The NMS French calls it a groupe électrogène; a diesel generating unit is a groupe électrogène à moteur diesel.

Do you translate operation manuals for power equipment?

Yes, in the same terms as the specification and the drawings, so the operators read the names they will see on the equipment.
