Industrial translation faces several challenges. Unlike artisanal production, which emphasizes high quality and detail, industrial production focuses on meeting large-scale demand and requires extensive infrastructure. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for industrial translation, as it involves handling industry-specific terminology related to raw materials and finished products.

Moreover, industrial production processes have their own unique names, terms, and document types. The complex nature of industrial environments necessitates comprehensive documentation, including adherence to strict regulatory compliance requirements. Manufacturers themselves are the primary recipients of these translations, requiring translations of operating processes, technical manuals, instructional materials, and reports on health, safety, and environmental matters in the workplace.
