German Manuals Translation & Adaptation

I have a full set of operating manuals for silo semi-trailers, tankers and their related systems that were originally written in German. They cover everything from pneumatic schematics and detailed component descriptions to step-by-step safety instructions, warnings and service diagrams.
Your task is to transform these texts into clear, natural-sounding English—not just by translating each sentence, but by adapting the language so technicians can follow it effortlessly on the job. Technical accuracy must stay intact, yet readability takes top priority; the finished documents should read like they were drafted directly in English and meet the tone expected in professional heavy-transport documentation.
Deliverables
• Fully translated and technically adapted English manuals in the same structure and order as the originals, ready for print or PDF distribution.
• All captions, labels and callouts on diagrams converted to English, maintaining formatting and reference numbers.
• Consistent terminology across sections (pneumatic controls, safety devices, component names, torque specs, etc.).
• A short glossary of any specialized terms that require clarification for English-speaking operators.
For acceptance, I will cross-check random sections against the source to confirm fidelity, then ask a native English mechanic to read segments for flow. If both checks pass, the job is complete.
