Agree Chinese drafting, expert review and file return: source version, review coverage, open questions and the deliverables in your quotation.
View the file review example ↓Make each handover explain what has been checked
The phrase AI plus expert does not tell a buyer what will arrive. A useful handover identifies the source version, Chinese draft, terminology decisions, review coverage and remaining questions. The next person should not have to infer those facts from a folder of files.
For a technical manual, the reviewer needs the passages in context, including related diagrams and tables. For a website, field identifiers and page context matter. Agree the file set and return format that let the reviewer check the work, rather than promising an identical workflow for every format.
Agree the review coverage before the work starts
Specify whether the assignment covers the whole bilingual file, selected passages or Chinese-only editing. Also state which product references and approved terminology are available. Full review and a spot assessment answer different questions; a report should identify the scope it actually covers.
Our delivery framework includes preparation, drafting, terminology work, review, format restoration and handover. The people, review depth and separate reports for the project are agreed in the quotation and service scope. A particular audit method, independent native-language review or written QC report should not be assumed from the phrase expert review alone.

HF TireTech’s 2015–2018 case records English technical documents and manuals translated into Chinese and other languages. It does not record the AI channels, review method or handover sheet described in this editorial example.
Chinese expert-review workflow inquiry: actual source language, source and draft revisions, intended use, document formats and figures, required review coverage, available terminology, product question owner, corrected-file and report requirements, final-format responsibility and requested date.
Return questions with decisions, not just comments
A reviewer may find a missing source reference or two names for one part. Give that issue a location and an owner, and record whether the answer is still pending or has been approved. A corrected Chinese sentence without the decision can leave the next file with the same unresolved problem.
Use the query-sheet approach to carry answers into the returned file. Identify which edits depend on a client decision and which are language corrections within the agreed scope. If the source changes, record the new baseline before treating the earlier review as applicable.
Close the project with files the next team can use
A useful return identifies the Chinese revision, included formats, reviewed scope and open items. If the customer will import text into a website or software build, confirm who checks that later output. Review of a text file does not establish that a subsequent import preserved every field.
Terminology export, ongoing maintenance and a separate quality report can be specified when needed. Agree what is included and how the customer may retain or reuse the material. There is no need to order every possible document; the quotation should make the chosen return clear.
