I need an experienced translator to turn a series of Mandarin technical manuals into clear, accurate Indonesian. These documents are packed with specialised terminology, so consistency is critical; every industry term must stay faithful to its original meaning and be instantly recognisable to Indonesian engineers and technicians who will rely on the final text. You will be working directly from the source files (mostly Word and occasional PDF). I will share them once we start so you can see the formatting, diagrams and call-outs that have to remain intact. Please preserve tables, numbered steps and figure references exactly as they appear. Because the manuals are highly specialised, I expect you to draw on your own reference materials or any authoritative glossaries you already use for Mandarin-Indonesian technical work. If you spot ambiguities or find a term that needs confirmation, flag it early so we can agree on the preferred wording before you proceed too far. Deliverables • Fully translated Indonesian files with original layout retained • A short terminology note if you had to research or standardise any new terms I value precision, consistent tone and a smooth reader experience. Let me know your turnaround time for an initial 10,000-word batch and include examples of similar technical projects you have completed.
