Translation for the energy sector

International tenders, impact assessments, operating documentation and sustainability reporting, translated for your markets.

Translation agency in Paris since 2000

In 30 seconds

  • Documents: Tender files, feasibility and impact studies, operating procedures, HSE documentation, sustainability reports.
  • Turnaround: Assessed by volume, target languages and file complexity. A tender is planned backwards from its submission date.
  • Formats: Word, Excel, PDF, InDesign, PowerPoint. Text inside diagrams, maps and site plans is included.
  • Terminology: A glossary signed off by your teams and a translation memory held for your account, so wording holds from one batch to the next.

Translating for energy: technical, regulatory and contractual at once

An energy file mixes three registers in a single document: the technical description of an installation, a regulatory obligation and a contractual commitment. Asiatis handles that documentation with linguists who know the vocabulary of the field — generation, transmission, operation, maintenance, decommissioning — and with a glossary signed off by your teams before the first delivery.

Since 2000 we have translated for industrial and engineering companies. In energy, the dominant issue is consistency between the batches of a single file: a technical annex, an environmental study and a financial guarantee drafted by three different teams have to use the same terms in the target language, otherwise the file contradicts itself.

Fields covered

Nuclear

Operating and maintenance documentation, radiation protection procedures, decommissioning files, inspection reports.

Renewables

Onshore and offshore wind, solar, biomass: site studies, assembly instructions, grid connection and maintenance contracts.

Oil, gas and networks

Equipment specifications, intervention procedures, pipeline and substation documentation, operating manuals.

Environment and HSE

Impact assessments, classified-installation files, safety data sheets and REACH dossiers, health and safety documentation.

Process and method

An energy file is translated in batches, usually against a submission deadline. Our method is built for that:

  • File analysis: inventory of the documents, real volume net of repetitions, identification of annexes and of text held inside diagrams.
  • Glossary first: project terminology is signed off by your technical teams before the first delivery, rather than corrected afterwards.
  • Dedicated translation memory: recurring annexes and batch-to-batch updates reuse segments that were already approved.
  • Coordinated team: several translators when the volume calls for it, with a single reviser for consistency across the whole file.
  • Revision and format check: revision by a second linguist in the field, then verification of layout, tables and diagram captions.

Sector approach

In an energy file, terminological consistency between batches matters as much as the accuracy of each batch taken on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Which energy sector documents do you translate?

International tender files and their annexes, feasibility and impact studies, operating and maintenance procedures, equipment specifications, health and safety documentation, safety data sheets, classified-installation files and sustainability reports. Text held inside diagrams, maps and site plans is handled on the same footing as the body of the document.

Do you have translators for the nuclear industry?

Yes. Civil nuclear work calls for linguists familiar with the vocabulary of radiation protection, maintenance in controlled areas and decommissioning. We build the team by field and not by language alone, and we sign off the glossary with your technical teams before the first delivery.

Do you handle sustainability and CSRD reporting?

Yes, it has become a category of its own. Non-financial reporting has its own terminology and it is read by investors: the English version has to use the terms of the framework being applied, not a literal rendering. We have a service dedicated to CSR and CSRD translation.

How do you handle text inside diagrams and plans?

We extract it, translate it and put it back; where the source file cannot be edited, we deliver it as an overlay or as a mapping table. That step appears in the quote: it is one of the most frequently forgotten items in an engineering file, and the one that derails a schedule when it surfaces at delivery.

Does a tender translate faster than other documents?

No, but it plans better. The submission date is known in advance, and it is what determines how the file is split into batches, how many translators are involved and when the cross-file revision happens. Send us the file as soon as you have the date, even if the annexes are not all ready.
