Our services

Technical manuals, translation and document design

From efficient, layout-preserving technical translation to documentation redesign, work instructions and comprehensive manuals.

Select a service to explore examples

From fragmented source files to one coherent deliverable.

Technical editing

Content is organised for practical use, consistency and reliable internal references.

Audiences and languages

For customers, operators and technicians, in the required format and language.

Documentation for real working needs

Make better use of your existing technical documentation

A lengthy supplier manual is not always the most effective guide for a particular task. We can combine technical sources, identify only the relevant information and turn unclear content into practical, self-contained instructions in the required language.

01

Consolidate documentation

Combine several manuals, technical specifications and internal notes into a structured documentation package with consistent references.

02

Targeted sub-manuals

We extract specific tasks or sections from existing manuals, clarify confusing explanations and fill in missing steps where the source material supports them, producing focused guides in the language users need.

03

Restructure and clarify

Rewrite, translate and redesign existing content with readable tables, illustrated steps and a structure suited to its intended audience.

A derivative guide does not automatically replace the original manufacturer documentation. The customer’s technical representative reviews and approves applicable safety requirements and technical content.

Explore operation manuals, maintenance documentation, work instructions and technical datasheets. Each example opens in the website language, with other available document languages selectable independently.

Documentation example

Maintenance Manuals and parts documentation

We structure customer-supplied information covering inspection, troubleshooting, preventive and corrective maintenance. Spare parts catalogues can be integrated or delivered separately.

  • Service intervals, maintenance steps and post-maintenance checks
  • Consistent illustrations, procedures and cross-references
  • Parts catalogues produced from complete customer-supplied parts data and images
Two independent demonstration examples: a maintenance manual and a spare parts catalogue for fictional industrial equipment.

Manuals compiled from multiple sources

Many information sources. One coherent manual.

Technical content is often spread across supplier manuals, datasheets, safety requirements, drawings and company procedures. We select, structure and integrate the relevant information into one or more manuals tailored to service personnel, operators or end users.

Pricing

What could your project cost?

Three worked examples show how estimated hours translate into indicative costs. Actual effort depends on the source material and agreed scope.

Small changes and ongoing support
approx. €125/ hour excl. VAT

Minor edits, updates and revisions to existing technical documentation, billed by time spent.

Larger documentation projects

An estimate before a quotation

We review your source material, complexity, language requirements, illustrations and revision rounds, then provide a quotation for the agreed scope.

Three examples of time and cost

One hourly rate, three different tasks. These are illustrative calculations, not fixed-price packages or quotations.

01 · Technical translation

One-page technical datasheet

Translate an existing technical datasheet into one additional language, checking technical terminology, specifications and the original layout.

Estimated effortapprox. 2 hours
02 · Work instruction

Four-page work instruction

Compile and lay out a clear instruction with working steps, text and illustrations based on technical material supplied by the customer.

Estimated effortapprox. 6 hours
03 · Technical manual

Operating manual from multiple sources

We turn supplier manuals, drawings and internal procedures into an operating manual covering plant start-up, operation and shutdown. The example includes illustrations, agreed EN requirements and two review rounds. The customer approves the technical content.

Estimated effortapprox. 30 hours

Illustrative calculations at approximately €125/hour excluding VAT. Euro amounts are rounded examples rather than fixed prices or live exchange-rate conversions. Estimates assume usable source material and an agreed scope; research, technical clarifications and further revisions can change the effort. Applicable EN requirements are defined for each project, and the customer approves the technical content. Currency and final prices are agreed in the quotation.

For comprehensive documentation projects

Larger operation and maintenance documentation projects

Manual Partner can develop comprehensive operation and maintenance manuals and compile spare parts catalogues from customer-supplied source information. Parts data and illustrations must be provided by the customer. After initial written clarification or a short Teams call, we can estimate the likely hours and cost. A formal quotation follows agreement on the scope.

Additional clarification or preparation meetings are billed at the standard indicative rate of €125 per hour excluding VAT, but only when agreed in advance.
