What is manual translation?

While many associate manuals with instruction manuals, manuals also include documents that compile business procedures and the like, and translating from the language of the country of establishment to a foreign language is referred to as manual translation.
Product instruction manuals, which are particularly in high demand, are meant to convey how to use products, requiring high-quality translation that purchasers and users can fully understand.
