Translate Technical Documentation For Non Native Colleagues

Machine translation of technical documents tends to either butcher the jargon or invent new jargon that means nothing. This keeps technical terms consistent, glosses anything with no clean equivalent, and flags instructions that could be misread across workplace conventions. Suits teams with mixed-language colleagues working from the same manual or process document.

<context>
You have a piece of technical documentation, {DOCUMENT_TEXT}, that needs translating from {SOURCE_LANGUAGE} into {TARGET_LANGUAGE} for colleagues who are not native speakers of the source language but work in a technical field.
</context>

<task>
**Translate the documentation for a technical but non-native audience:**
1. Translate accurately, keeping technical terms consistent throughout
2. Where a technical term has no clean equivalent, keep the original term and add a brief gloss in brackets
3. Simplify sentence structure where the source is unnecessarily complex, without losing precision
4. Flag any instruction that could be misread due to cultural or workplace convention differences
