Jap Translation

[Turbo T]

Need a few pages translated of an installation manual. Any ideas guys??

What's the manual?
Failing that find cheery uni student or something, sorry Terry not much help.

No worries mate, nice to get a reply. It's an HKS Valcon manual for variable valve timing. Went to install it but the wiring diagram is all in japanese and not colour coded so really struggling. I have found someone to translate but......£32 per page........

asked the question mate, never received a reply, ditto HKS Japan

Japanese is pretty damned expensive to get translated, unfortunately. It's a bit of a specialist market.

You could always approach freelance translators via the ITI: www.iti.org.uk - do a search on the directory of members. Or failing that, if you're looking for someone inexperienced (and therefore cheaper, but you get what you pays for...), try www.proz.com - loads of people on there, but you only have their word for it that they're as good as they say they are.

Good luck.
