Language Problem

I doubt that there is any one best answer to this, but it is a good question for the CR4 forum. Here are some possible approaches:

1. The original contractor from China may already have the information in some other languages, so you could simply ask. However, their translation might not be very clear.

2. If you have a nearby translation service available, you could engage them for a fee. (They would need to have technical experience, though.)

3. If you are near a university that hosts engineering students from China, you might be able to do a similar but less formal arrangement.

4. Learning Chinese might not be practical in the short term, or for only a few business deals, but there could be long-term opportunities in this.

Maybe you don't have much time, but best wishes for success.

There are freelancers and service providers available for this kind of works, Try it google or you can post your requirements on Chinese trade sites,

The WTO should stipulate that manufacturers/suppliers should print technical literature/operation manuals/drawings etc in a language(s)understood in a country which imports it. The customs should refuse permission if technical literature is not printed in a language understood by users.
