“Aqui nasceu Portugal” and a Portuguese translation company in Guimarães
Connecting people. Connecting businesses. Connecting the wor(l)d.
Do you need to translate technical documents or communicate effectively with international clients? Then get to know Dokutech Translations — a Portuguese translation company ready to help you break down language barriers and take your message to new markets.
Based in Guimarães, a historic city known for its motto “Aqui nasceu Portugal”, Dokutech combines human talent and technology to connect people and businesses around the world.
And it’s no coincidence: 72 per cent of consumers prefer to buy products presented in their mother tongue, so communicating in the language of your audience is key to success.
We are a Vimaranense company dedicated to high-quality professional translation services. Founded over a decade ago, it was born out of a desire to help Portuguese and international companies communicate across borders.
We are a young, dynamic agency with a strong presence on the national market and proven international experience. We have a team of native and specialised translators, covering languages such as Portuguese, English, German and others. Each project is handled with rigour and passion, because we believe that translating is not just about converting words, but about connecting cultures and opportunities.
We are proudly part of the panorama of innovative Portuguese companies. Over the years, we’ve collaborated with clients from a wide range of sectors — industry, engineering, technology, medicine, law, marketing, among others.
We offer accurate technical translations, culturally adapted localisations and content ready to win over global audiences. All of this is done to the highest international quality standards: Dokutech fulfils the requirements of the ISO 17100 standard, specific to translation services, guaranteeing well-defined management, translation and revision processes.
Translation Services Provided
We operate as a complete translation agency, offering a range of language services to meet all your business needs. Dokutech Translations’ main services include:
Translation of manuals, technical documentation, engineering reports and other specialised content, ensuring correct terminology and technical accuracy.
Official translation of legal documents, certificates, contracts and diplomas, with recognised certification for formal use.
Adapting advertising content, websites and communication material, adjusting the text to the local culture (localisation) to maximise the impact on the target audience.
Translation of applications, video games, software and interfaces, including adaptation of formats, units and cultural context, for a fully localised user experience.
Specialised service for health texts — scientific articles, clinical studies, drug leaflets — guaranteeing the precise use of medical nomenclature in each language.
Translation of contracts, legislation, financial statements and corporate documents, respecting technical legal/financial terms and the necessary confidentiality.
In addition to these, we offer complementary linguistic services, such as proofreading already translated texts, interpreting services for events or meetings, audio/video transcription and terminology management consultancy.
Whatever the need — a multilingual marketing campaign or the certified translation of an important document — our team is ready to deliver reliable results, on time and ready to use.
Why choose Dokutech Translations?
Here are some of our competitive advantages that give our clients peace of mind and confidence:
- Excellence Guaranteed: We follow a strict quality control process at every stage of the project — from the personalised quote to the final proofreading. Each translation is double-checked (technically and linguistically) by qualified experts before delivery, ensuring a flawless end result.
- Native and Specialised Translators: We only work with translators who are native speakers of the target language, many of whom are bilingual and have higher education degrees in their areas of specialisation. This means that your project will be translated by someone who really understands the cultural and technical nuances of the language, avoiding misunderstandings.
- Experience and Credibility: With years of experience and successful projects, we have accumulated knowledge in various sectors. This background allows us to face complex terminological challenges with confidence. We are transparent and deliver what we promise – deadlines, confidentiality and quality — which has earned us the trust of dozens of clients in Portugal, Germany and the international market.
- Technology in Favour of Quality: We combine the best of technology with the human touch. We use CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) tools, translation memories and personalised glossaries to ensure terminological consistency and speed up the process. We are pioneers in analysing and implementing Artificial Intelligence tools for translation services and we are testing how AI can help improve internal processes and enhance the excellence of our services. However, we never give up on thorough human proofreading — technology is an ally, but the final quality always has the watchful eye of an experienced translator.
- Close and personalised service: We know that each client and project is unique. That’s why we offer a close, proactive and conversational service, understanding the specific needs of each case. We adapt our services to the context of your business, whether it’s a local start-up or an established multinational. At Dokutech, we speak the client’s language — from preferred technical terms to the desired tone of the translated text.
Pride in Guimarães — "Aqui nasceu Portugal"
As a company from Guimarães, Dokutech Translations is proud of its roots. Guimarães is known as the cradle city of Portugal, symbolised by the famous phrase “Aqui nasceu Portugal” inscribed on the ancient walls. This connection to Portuguese history and culture is reflected in our values: we honour the tradition of excellence and pioneering spirit, while projecting our services into the modern world.
Being based in Guimarães also brings daily inspiration. The medieval streets, Guimarães Castle and the Palace of the Dukes of Bragança remind us of the importance of heritage and identity — elements that inspire us by translating cultural and historical content.
As a Portuguese translation company based in the birthplace of Portugal, we feel a responsibility to carry on this legacy of communicating what is ours, taking the Portuguese language and culture to the four corners of the world.
Trusting relationships with clients
More than translation service providers, we like to be seen as trusted partners by our clients. We cultivate long-term relationships based on transparency, respect and consistent results.
Every project we deliver, no matter how small, is an opportunity to reinforce that trust: by meeting strictly stipulated deadlines, maintaining total confidentiality of documents and always being available for feedback or post-delivery adjustments.
Many companies start with us with a single translation or language service and end up entrusting us with their entire multilingual content flow. That vote of confidence comes from our professional and approachable attitude. We value each client’s business as if it were our own, and we endeavour to exceed expectations in terms of quality and service.
What’s more, we understand the urgency of the business world — when an opportunity arises out there, translation can’t wait. That’s why we adapt our capacity and resources to respond quickly, without compromising on excellence.
Our mission is to create value for those who hire us, acting as a partner in the internationalisation of national companies and in the globalisation of foreign companies.
In other words, if your company is Portuguese and wants to expand across borders, we’ll walk alongside you on this journey. If you’re an international company that needs to get closer to the Portuguese market, we’ll help you “translate” your success here. This client-centred approach has made Dokutech Translations a trusted reference in the translation sector.
