Simplified Technical German

The main objective of Simplified Technical German (Strukturiertes Technisches Deutsch) is to make technical German easy to understand.

Simplified Technical German standardizes vocabulary and style, aiming to improve consistency, eliminate ambiguity and reduce complexity. It also provides objective criteria for quality control. Simplified Technical German includes a general dictionary and a set of writing rules. In addition to the general vocabulary, companies can define their own Technical Names (terminology).
