Simplified Technical English

A popular quote states that “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” Though most technical communicators would in principle agree, we are also aware achieving the right level of simplicity is no trivial matter.

Enter controlled languages. In this meetup we will discuss the principles and first usage steps of STE (Simplified Technical English), a popular controlled language specification originally stemming from the aerospace industry. Come join us for the first of two events hosted by Etteplan Poland
