Technical Manuals
Scope is fixed in writing before translation begins: the included services, the excluded ones, and the client-side inputs required for the timeline. The written scope is the reference for all later questions. The assignment is defined by a written scope that names the document types, the language direction, the intended use and the delivery window. Everything beyond that list is confirmed separately before work starts. The documented record also covers industry translation and expertise as part of the same scope. Where a filing depends on a specific form, the scope names that form explicitly; the client confirms the requirement with the receiving institution and the work follows the confirmed specification.

Technical Manuals
Delivery of technical manuals includes an encrypted PDF as standard, a control note with terminology decisions, and paper copies by tracked post when agreed. The delivery format is confirmed in the written scope before work begins.
Typical documents
Source file requirements
The evaluation phase confirms three things: the source file is readable, the pages are complete, and the language direction is clear. Any gaps are flagged in writing before work starts. Before the scope is issued, the source file is reviewed for readability, completeness and language direction. Issues are documented in writing so the client knows what was received. The documented record also covers quality and process as part of the same scope.
The technical manuals process has four documented steps: file submission, written scope, translation with independent review, and tracked delivery. Each step is recorded and verified to ensure quality and accountability.

How the process works
The workflow is four steps long: the file is submitted, the scope is returned in writing, the translation is reviewed by a second person, and delivery includes a control note. Four stages define the work: submission with confirmation, written scope with volume and deadline, translation with independent review, and tracked delivery with a control note. The documented record also covers industry translation and expertise as part of the same scope.
Quality controls for technical manuals include translation and review by different people, terminology consistency across the document, and a documented correction procedure. These controls ensure that the final document meets the highest standards.

What we do not promise
The service does not guarantee acceptance by any authority and does not replace a certified or sworn form where one is required. The scope names the requested form and the client confirms acceptance with the receiving institution before work begins. Boundaries are explicit: the translation is accurate and reviewed, but acceptance rests with the receiving institution. Where a certified, sworn or legalized form is required, the scope names it and the client confirms the requirement directly. The documented record also covers quality and process as part of the same scope.
Defining the boundaries of technical manuals is important. The written scope states what is included and what is not, ensuring that there is no ambiguity about what will be delivered.

Delivery and files
The translated file is delivered through an encrypted channel with a control note attached. The note records terminology decisions, format specifications and any open points. Delivery is through an encrypted digital channel; paper copies travel by tracked post when required. The control note accompanies every delivery and records the terminology decisions. The documented record also covers industry translation and expertise as part of the same scope. Each phase of the process leaves a written trace: from the confirmation of receipt through the agreed scope to the delivery with its control note, so any later question can be answered from the record rather than from memory.
What drives the price
Four factors set the price: the volume of translatable text, the layout complexity, the repetition inside the file, and the chosen delivery window. The written quote lists all four. The cost is driven by volume, layout complexity, repetition and delivery window. The written quote itemises each factor before the order is placed. The documented record also covers technical and documents as part of the same scope. Changes are handled in writing on both sides: a client-side change to scope or deadline is confirmed before execution, and any adjustment on the provider side is proposed the same way before it is applied.

Start your request
The fastest start is the file evaluation: the file, the language direction and the receiving institution. The written assessment returns scope, deadline and price factors before work begins. Confidentiality follows the written scope: files are stored for the agreed retention period, access is limited to the assigned translator and reviewer, and deletion is confirmed on request. Each phase of the process leaves a written trace: from the confirmation of receipt through the agreed scope to the delivery with its control note, so any later question can be answered from the record rather than from memory.
Every technical manuals project begins with a complete source file review. We check readability, page completeness, and language direction before work begins. This ensures that the translation process starts with a clear foundation.
