Translate Basic Engineering Manual
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I have a technical manual that introduces basic engineering concepts and safety guidelines. I need it translated accurately and fluently so non-native readers can follow the explanations without losing any of the technical nuance.
The source language version will be shared as soon as we start; the target language should read like it was originally written for engineers in that language. Please indicate your language pair when you bid so I can match you with the correct file.
Key points you should know:
• Content type: Technical manual (engineering, basic level)
• Length: 40–50 pages, mostly short paragraphs, tables, and a few labelled diagrams
• Tone required: Clear, concise, professional—no literal word-for-word renditions; natural phrasing is essential
• Format: Return the translation in an editable file (DOCX or equivalent) with original layout preserved
Deliverable acceptance criteria:
1. All text—including figure captions, headers, and footers—fully translated.
2. Engineering terminology used consistently; no machine-translation artefacts.
3. Final file passes a quick terminology spot-check I will run against the glossary supplied with the source.
If you are experienced with technical translation tools (SDL Trados, MemoQ, or similar) feel free to mention it—it speeds up future updates. I look forward to working with someone who genuinely enjoys making engineering knowledge accessible across languages.
