English-Chinese Vehicle Manual

I have a 50-100 page vehicle owner’s manual in English that must be rendered into clear, technically accurate Simplified Chinese. The source uses an intermediate technical register: detailed enough to cover torque specs, diagnostic messages, and safety warnings, yet still readable by everyday drivers. That same balance has to carry through in the Chinese version—nothing lost, nothing oversimplified.

You will receive the manual as an editable PDF packaged with its original InDesign files, tables, and diagrams. Please translate directly in context so page layout, cross-references, and call-out numbers stay exactly where they belong. A CAT tool such as Trados, MemoQ, or Smartcat is welcome as long as formatting tags survive the round-trip.

Deliverables
• Fully translated manual matching the original layout (print-ready PDF and the updated InDesign package)
• A bilingual glossary of key automotive terms encountered during the project
• One final proofread pass to ensure consistency, correct units, and flawless Chinese punctuation

I’ll be on hand to answer terminology questions quickly. Once the final files pass a spot check for accuracy and formatting integrity, the project is complete.

Note: If you cannot bid due to the $20 fee, apply using the PDF/docs attached to this project.
