Bio
Furber Traduction is based in western France. We specialise in technical translation: mechanics; electronics; IT; telecommunications and commercial/legal translation. Our regular work includes technical manuals, contracts, advertising material and business correspondence.

Our inhouse team of highly qualified and experienced translators spans an impressive range of technical fields.

In the last five years we have successfully managed several large-scale projects (+2 million words) and our aim is to satisfy our customers by achieving ever higher standards through rigorous quality procedures and by remaining sensitive to their needs and attentive to every detail.

One example of our work is a project involving several hundred thousand complex Autocad drawings for the shipbuilding industry.

Another example was a rush project for 1,500,000 words of technical manuals carried out in a period of 6 weeks June/July 2004 to extremely high standards.

We are a member of the French national association of translation companies (CNET) and we were involved in the development of the european translation standard.
