I have a batch of technical manuals that have already been translated into Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia. Before they reach end-users I need a meticulous quality review that checks accuracy, tone, consistency, and technical correctness. What you will do • Review every sentence in both Bahasa versions against the English source, confirming that figures, units, warnings, UI strings, and troubleshooting steps are conveyed precisely. • Highlight mistranslations, omissions, style issues, and any ambiguity, using tracked changes or comments within the files. • Compile a bilingual glossary while you work—capture all recurring technical terms, abbreviations, and product-specific phrases with their approved equivalents so future updates remain consistent. • Deliver a short QA report summarising the error types you found and overall quality rating. Files arrive in editable Word and occasionally InDesign exports, so familiarity with Word, Adobe Acrobat, or CAT tools such as memoQ/Trados for quicker comparison is welcome, though not mandatory. Acceptance criteria 1. Clean, publication-ready Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia manuals returned in their original layout. 2. Glossary provided in Excel or CSV with at least the 200 most frequent terms. 3. QA report outlining methodology plus any unresolved queries. If you are an experienced linguistic reviewer for technical content and can commit to quick yet thorough turnarounds, I’d love to collaborate.

Hello, Reviewing both Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia manuals sentence by sentence against the English source, while building the glossary and keeping figures and warnings consistent, is exactly the kind of QA I handle. A few points would help me set a firm timeline: - Total volume per language (word count and number of manuals)? - Is the English source supplied aligned with the translations, or as raw text? - For the InDesign files, do you need publication-ready layout returned, or comments on the extracted text? The heart of this seems to be terminology consistency and technical accuracy rather than layout. A project of this scope typically fits within your range, and I'll confirm a firm figure once I have your answers. Looking forward to working with you. Kind regards, Eric

Hello, I’m interested in handling your Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia technical translation quality review. I understand that this requires more than basic proofreading. The English source needs to be carefully compared with both Bahasa versions to ensure that technical meaning, terminology, figures, units, warnings, UI strings, troubleshooting instructions, and consistency are accurately maintained. My review process will include: • Sentence-by-sentence comparison against the English source • Identification of mistranslations, omissions, additions, and technical inaccuracies • Verification of figures, measurements, units, warnings, and UI terminology • Terminology and consistency checks across the manuals • Preparation of the requested 200+ term technical glossary • Clear documentation of corrections and QA findings • A structured final QA report I will follow a systematic review process and pay particular attention to technical accuracy, consistency, and publication readiness. I am available to start immediately and can work according to your required format and acceptance criteria. Best regards, Germaine

Hello, I can run the full quality review of your Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia manuals against the English source, delivered exactly in the workflow you describe. My approach, mapped to your acceptance criteria: 1. Sentence-level comparison of both Bahasa versions against the English source, verifying figures, units, safety warnings, UI strings and troubleshooting steps are conveyed precisely, with every query raised rather than silently smoothed over. 2. All corrections and queries delivered as tracked changes with margin comments in the original Word files, so nothing touches your layout and you can accept or reject each edit individually. 3. A bilingual glossary built as I work, capturing recurring technical terms, abbreviations and product-specific phrases with their approved equivalents, delivered in Excel or CSV with the 200+ most frequent terms. 4. A short QA report summarising error types found (mistranslation, omission, style, ambiguity), overall quality rating and any unresolved queries. To be transparent: I work AI-assisted with human review of every change. For technical-manual QA this is an advantage on the mechanical checks (figures, units, terminology consistency across long documents) while every flagged edit remains a considered decision you can verify in the tracked changes. If helpful, I will review a short sample passage first so you can judge the annotation style before committing the full batch. I can start immediately and deliver within 3 days of receiving the files.
