Today, my american coworker send me his final version of the instruction guide. This version had been corrected by his technical writing teacher. Most of the issues were about phrase mechanics, punctuation, spelling and grammatical phrasing. The teacher...
Today, I had to email my american coworker in order to get help or vocabulary, more especially about the word "gouge". While it's a rather common word in the english language, I struggled to find a good translation, because I found some that related to...
I finished translating the ski parts schema. Some terms don't appear in the actual instruction guide, but most of them do. It is actually a good thing in order to help people visualizing the different parts of their skis, even apart from the instruction...
Since I've finished my translation, I decided to send the final version to my american coworker before I send it to my teacher. I'm going to ask him to tell me about the global readability of my work, since I had several layout differences problems when...
