Introduction

What Aarsleff Translator does and how to get around the app.

The Aarsleff Technology Translator helps you find the right word for a construction term in another language. Pick the language you're translating from, search for the term, and the app shows you the equivalent in every other supported language alongside a picture and description to confirm you've got the right one.

Supported languages

  • UK — English
  • DK — Danish
  • SE — Swedish
  • DE — German
  • PL — Polish

Translating a term

1. Pick your input language

Open the Input Language dropdown and choose the language of the word you already have.

Selecting an input language

2. Search for the technology

Once a language is selected, the Technology field becomes active. Start typing and matching terms appear as you type — you don't need to spell the whole word.

3. Read the translation

Pick a term from the list and a card appears showing:

  • The translation in every other supported language
  • A reference image to help confirm it's the right term
  • A short description, where one is available

Translation result for "pile driving"

Change the Input Language or Technology fields at any time to look up another term — the result updates automatically.

Reporting an issue or missing term

Below the result card are two buttons for getting in touch with the Aarsleff developers by email:

  • Challenge Translation — if a translation on screen looks wrong, use this to send the team the current entry so it can be corrected. The email is pre-filled with the term you were looking at.
  • Submit a translation — if a technology term you need isn't in the translator yet, use this to send the team a blank template to fill in and submit.

Dark mode

Use the sun/moon icon in the top-right corner of the header to switch between light and dark themes. Your preference is remembered on your device.
