English-Serbian Technical Manual Translation
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I have a set of technical manuals originally written in English that now need to read as if they were authored in Serbian. Accuracy is critical—every specification, measurement, safety note, and diagram caption must carry over intact, with the right terminology for engineers and technicians.
The source files are well-structured (Word and a few PDFs), totaling roughly 42,000 words. I will supply a glossary of brand-specific terms; the rest of the technical vocabulary should be handled with the consistency you would expect from a CAT-tool workflow such as SDL Trados or memoQ, though I’m open to whichever tool you prefer.
Deliverables
• Fully translated Serbian files, mirroring the original layout and styles
• A bilingual terminology list for any new terms encountered
• Cleaned translation memory (TMX) on completion
Acceptance criteria
1. Terminology matches the provided glossary and standard Serbian engineering jargon.
2. Formatting and numbering remain identical to the source.
3. Zero machine-translation artifacts—every line must read naturally to a native Serbian professional.
If this sounds like the kind of precision work you enjoy, let’s talk timelines and milestones so we can get these manuals into the hands of our Serbian team without delay.
