Certified Product Manual Translation from $14.90 per Page

Most product manuals don’t legally require a certified translation, but a Certificate of Accuracy adds a record that the translation is complete and accurate. That matters in these situations:

1. Selling in other countries: Many markets require instructions and safety information in their own language. In the European Union, product rules generally require them in the official language of the country where the product is sold. Check the rules for your product category and market.
2. Importing products into the United States: Some product categories have English labeling or instruction requirements. Check with the agency that regulates your product.
3. Regulatory submissions: Regulated products, such as medical devices and machinery, often require translated instructions as part of the submission.
4. Distributors and retailers: Distribution agreements often require translated manuals before a product can be listed or sold.
5. Product liability and litigation: In disputes, a certified translation of the manual can be submitted as evidence of the instructions and warnings provided.

What a Certified Product Manual Translation Includes

• A full translation of the entire manual, including instructions, warnings, technical specifications, tables, figure labels and legal notices.
• A signed certification stating that the translation is complete and accurate, and that it was prepared by a translator competent to translate between the two languages.

Every Translations Certified product manual translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy and notarization at no extra cost.

Common Product Manual Translation Problems

• Safety warnings translated inconsistently. Warnings and cautions must read the same way everywhere they appear. Ordering the full manual in one Translations Certified order keeps terminology consistent.
• Units and specifications changed. A translation keeps measurements, units and technical values exactly as they appear in the original. Any conversion is a product decision, not a translation decision.
• Text inside images left out. Labels and callouts inside diagrams are part of the manual. Upload files where that text is readable, so it can be translated.
• No reference terminology. If you have a glossary or previous translations of your products, upload them with your order so the new translation follows the same terms.
• Translating outdated versions. Confirm that you upload the final version of the manual before ordering, so you don’t pay to translate content that will change.
