Straight to the Point

Technical Communicators know the importance of getting to the point. The instructions they write are straight forward and easy to understand. When it comes time to translate, a good translator will not expand or embellish the text. They will translate it using the most concise terminology available. European languages tend to expand when they are translated from English, so a good translator will know how to make it as straight forward and understandable as possible. This maintains the integrity of the English content, and the original intent of the Technical Communicator.
