content-related
Relating to the content, substance, or topic of something, as opposed to its form or style.
Inhaltlich stimme ich dir vollkommen zu, aber die Umsetzung ist schwierig.
In terms of content, I completely agree with you, but the implementation is difficult.
The word is made up of the noun 'der Inhalt' (the content) and the ending '-lich' (-ly/-related). The ending '-lich' turns a noun into an adjective and means 'in relation to'. So 'inhaltlich' literally means 'concerning the content'.
Der Film war visuell beeindruckend, aber inhaltlich eher schwach.
The film was visually impressive, but rather weak in terms of content.
'Inhaltlich' is very often used as an adverb at the beginning of a sentence to put the focus of the statement on the content. In this position, the verb follows directly after 'inhaltlich'.
Inhaltlich ist der Artikel sehr gut recherchiert.
In terms of content, the article is very well researched.
The word is often used to create a contrast between the content and another aspect, such as form, style, or outward appearance. A typical phrase is 'inhaltlich und formal' (in terms of content and form).
Wir müssen den Text sowohl inhaltlich als auch formal überarbeiten.
We need to revise the text both in terms of content and form.
technical
'technisch' and 'inhaltlich' are often used when looking at a problem or a text from different angles. 'technisch' refers to the function, form, or exact implementation, for example with a device, a file, or a procedure. 'inhaltlich' refers to the topic and to what is said or meant. They can be confused because both may be important in a piece of work or a presentation. A practical way to remember it: 'technisch' asks 'How does it work?', while 'inhaltlich' asks 'What is it about?'.
Inhaltlich ist der Bericht klar, nur die Reihenfolge der Kapitel ist noch unlogisch.
In terms of content, the report is clear; only the order of the chapters is still illogical.
Die Präsentation war technisch gut vorbereitet, aber der Beamer fiel trotzdem aus.
The presentation was well prepared technically, but the projector still failed.
