Last year I paid AU$2000 for a treadmill and got one lousy scrap of
photocopied paper ... with instructions for a different machine.
I have a bench drill with the word "MACHWERY" on the name plate, ie
the IN has become a W, probably because of bad handwriting. The
manufacturer couldn't be bothered to get his own name right.

There is no need to find someone to *write* the manual, only to *proof
read* it. The labour cost for the former would be low, as it would be
done within the PRC.

I'd spend a little cash and hire a professional, or at least someone
who is a fluent native speaker. I wouldn't trash the reputation of my
business by producing incomprehensible documentation.

None of this was ever in question.
BTW, I am not monolingual, but I wouldn't dream of attempting to write
a technical document in my mother tongue. If I did, I have no doubt it
would be full of clangers.
