Where this term appears

An IFU translation request may also include device labels, packaging text and quick-start guides. Match each requested Chinese output to its source revision and intended use. Keep terminology decisions and source questions with the responsible regulatory or technical-publications team; confirm any market-specific requirements separately.

Translation checks

A frequent mistake is translating IFU text as generic technical prose without preserving warning hierarchy or using unapproved terminology from the product's glossary. This can create usability errors or regulatory findings because a warning that is softened, reordered, or mistranslated may no longer communicate the residual risk accurately to the intended user.

Keep the term aligned across your files

Check intended use, warnings, document versions and approved terminology with the project team. Translation supports documentation; it does not establish product approval or regulatory acceptance.

Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
