Your client's English is good enough for a conversation. It is not good enough for sixty pages about polybutylene and double-tapped breakers — and they will not tell you that. They will nod, take the PDF, and hand it to a nephew to explain. Give them the report in the language they actually think in.
Dos conductores están conectados bajo un solo terminal de interruptor diseñado para uno. Es un defecto común y de fácil corrección para un electricista con licencia, pero debe corregirse — representa un riesgo de incendio.
This is the part worth reading carefully, because it's where the industry gets you.
Translate the same report twice because you fixed a typo? Two charges. Republish after a re-inspection? Another charge. The report never changed, but the meter ran again — and you start deciding which clients "really need" a translation.
A small monthly base in the months you actually translate something, plus a few cents per thousand characters of text. Publish it, republish it, fix a typo and publish it again — that's not a new charge. It's your report.
A full inspection report costs less to translate than the coffee you bought on the way to it.
We pass the translation cost through at close to what it costs us, and we only bill it in months you use it. If you never translate a report, you never see a line item.
Nothing about your process changes. Write it the way you always have.
Pick the language from the report. It goes off and translates.
You get the last word. Fix a trade term, leave a model number alone, adjust the disclaimer.
Your client opens the report and flips between languages with one tap.
The translation is good — genuinely good. It is not good at knowing that "Rheem" is a water heater and not a word, or that your liability language means something specific and shouldn't get creative.
So you read it before it goes out. Click any section, fix what needs fixing, and it's saved. Your name is on this report in both languages, and we're not going to pretend otherwise.
They will remember it. So will the agent who referred them.
