I count about 2 1/2 people for each language -not counting the training.
The 1/2 is the type who has experience with translation projects and
knows the technology who dejargonizes the English original to ease
the translation process..
Then there is the translator in the home country (Korea) who has been
educated in Korean in the technology. (Thus, no literature grads
translating electronics docs.)
Finally, the American-based counterpart who reads Korean and who can
verify that everything is in place.
My experience is that local "resources" who know the technology but
haven't been educated in the home country generally suffer from
severe linguistic corruption (Chinglish, Spanglish, or whatever the
equivalent would be for Korean and Japanese). And the people who
know the technology but who are not professional translators just let
too much slip through the cracks.
Sorry for your VP - but if it's going to be done right, it'll cost
some serious bucks - especially for the first few docs.

Guys,
A VP at my company wants to hire a person whose main job functions are
the following:
Translate technical writing docs to Korean
Train the Korean FSE's on the procedures in the docs.
He also wants the same position for Japanese.
Any idea the type of salary this person would command? Know anyone who
qualifies?
He thinks this would be cheaper than using a translation house
since we
have thousands of procedures that need translation and more efficient
since the person would also be a trainer.
Thank you,
