I have several IT / software user manuals that were originally written in Somali and now need to live in clear, idiomatic English without losing a single technical nuance. The task is strictly technical-document work: no marketing spin, no creative rewrites—just faithful, readable English that a support engineer or end user can trust.

You will begin with a short excerpt of the manual so I can see your approach. Return that sample fully translated and self-proofread; if the tone is natural, terminology is consistent, and every step or field label is preserved exactly, we will roll into the complete set of manuals.

Deliverables
• Sample passage translated and proof-checked
• Final, polished English version of each user manual in Word or Google Docs, with Somali source text optionally shown in comments for traceability

Acceptance criteria
• Meaning is 100 % equivalent; no omissions or additions
• Terminology follows standard IT vocabulary and stays consistent across files
• Sentences read naturally to a native English speaker
• Zero machine-translation artifacts or unresolved tags

I will be available for quick clarification on any ambiguous Somali phrases and can supply existing glossaries if you find them useful.
