Translated file
Order, and the translation arrives
Layout, tables and images rebuilt to match the original, and a second linguist checks the text. The translated file arrives in your inbox and dashboard.
Original format
The price shows before you pay. Every file is covered by an NDA; medical records are handled in line with HIPAA.
Order nowWhere it gets used
Instructions that ship inside the box.
The manual is part of the product: it determines whether users succeed, whether support drowns, and whether safety warnings did their legal job. Exporters translate manuals because the alternative is explaining, one ticket and one liability claim at a time, what the manual should have said.
Manufacturers and exporters
Products entering new markets carry documentation expectations — often regulatory ones. A precise manual is market access paperwork as much as user help.
Safety and liability
Warnings exist to prevent harm and to prove you warned. Both functions demand exact translation — a softened caution protects neither the user nor you.
Support teams
Every unclear instruction becomes tickets in that language. Support leads can usually name the paragraph — a manual translated well is deflection infrastructure.
Distributors and service partners
Partners install, service, and warranty your product from its documentation. Their competence downstream is capped by the manual’s clarity in their language.
What gets translated
Precision where misreading has consequences.
Manual translation is applied engineering communication: controlled vocabulary, imperative steps, and warnings with legal weight. Every element has its discipline.
Warnings, at full strength
Danger, warning, and caution rendered at their exact severity per safety-labeling conventions — never paraphrased downward.
Procedures in clean imperatives
Steps translated as unambiguous instructions in the target language’s technical register — one action, one step, no drift.
Terminology locked to the UI
Part names and controls rendered identically to your device’s translated interface, so the button in the manual is the button on the machine.
Units and specs, dual where needed
Measurements kept exact, with dual units added deliberately where the market convention expects them — flagged, never silent.
Diagrams and callouts
Figure labels and reference numbers aligned with the illustrations, so exploded views still explode in order.
Warranty and legal pages
The legal boilerplate translated with contract-grade care — it is a contract, wearing a manual’s clothes.
What you receive
- Formatting that mirrors the original: stamps, seals, tables and signatures.
- The exact total shows before you pay. We count words instead of rounding up to pages, so a short document costs less than a dense one.
Every file and session is covered by an NDA and sent over an encrypted connection. Clinical matters are handled in line with HIPAA.
Before you order
What technical writers wish exporters knew.
Ship the UI strings with the manual
If your device screens are translated, send those strings — the manual must call controls what the screen calls them. If they are not yet translated, one order can do both and guarantee the match.
Source format matters
Structured sources (Word with styles, XML, FrameMaker exports) translate cleanly in place; flattened PDFs add reconstruction cost. Send the authoring format and the delivery drops into your publishing pipeline.
Revisions ride the termbase
Products iterate; manuals follow. The termbase from version one prices version two by its deltas — and keeps ten years of documentation calling the same part the same name.

FAQ
The questions that actually come up.
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Do your translators understand the technology or just the words?
Manuals are routed by product domain to linguists who work in that field — power tools, medical devices, kitchen electronics, and industrial equipment are different dialects. A second technical linguist reviews procedures for executability, not just accuracy: could a user actually follow this step.
02How are safety warnings handled?
As the legal instruments they are: severity levels preserved exactly, standard signal-word conventions of the target market applied, and nothing softened for flow. Where your English warning deviates from market convention, we flag it rather than silently normalizing.
03Can you keep the manual consistent with our translated app and screens?
Yes — send the UI string files and they become the binding glossary layer. Where a screen term is itself questionable, you get a flag and a decision, not a silent inheritance of the problem.
04We update the manual with every firmware release.
Send the redline or the new revision; translation memory prices the update by changed text and keeps every language synchronized to the release. Documentation debt across languages is exactly what this workflow prevents.
05How is the price calculated?
By word count per language — starting at $24.95. Manuals repeat themselves by design, and repetition prices near zero; the itemized quote shows real cost per language before you pay.
06What formats can you deliver?
Translated files in your source format — Word, IDML, XML, structured text — ready for your publishing pipeline, plus print-ready PDF review passes on request to catch layout-stage truncations.
