Prepare electronic specifications for Chinese review: clause identifiers, changed requirements, tables and a controlled bilingual revision set.
View the file review example ↓View references (1) ↓Fix the baseline before comparing the Chinese version
For an electronic specification translated into Chinese, name the exact source revision and the Chinese version being reviewed. A useful handover connects each requirement to its clause, table or figure, so the reviewer can distinguish a changed product requirement from a wording correction.
Provide the complete source file, its appendices and the previous approved Chinese version if one exists. Mark whether the task is a first translation, a source update or a review of existing wording. An annotated comparison can help, but it should not replace the current source of record.
From reading to a project
Follow one requirement through a revision
One boundary changes between revisions · self-created
- Revision B source
- Condition: x ≤ L
- Revision C source
- Condition: x < L
- Chinese carried over from B · needs review
- 判定条件：x ≤ L
- Chinese matching revision C
- 判定条件：x < L
- Boundary to check
- At x = L, the condition is true in B and false in C.
Review status: questions to confirm
Source baseline
Identify the full source and the Chinese version being compared.
Requirement mapping
Follow moved clauses, tables and footnotes through the revision.
Decision trail
Keep technical questions separate from language corrections.

Keep requirement identity when text moves
A requirement can retain its meaning while moving to another section, or keep its number while its conditions change. Record both the old and new references. Include packaging, interface and test-related sections within the agreed scope rather than judging completeness by the number of translated paragraphs.
Keep parameter symbols, units, references and agreed requirement labels connected to the surrounding text. If a table changes shape, compare its headers and footnotes as well as its values. Ask the engineering owner about an unclear source condition; translation should not resolve a missing technical decision by inference.
Separate a source change from a Chinese correction
Use review statuses such as source changed, Chinese wording corrected, unchanged and question open. Record the reason for each proposed change and the reference used. This lets the owner see whether a Chinese edit follows the new specification or merely changes previously approved terminology.
Agree who resolves technical questions and who accepts the Chinese wording. Return the requested bilingual set together with the open-question list and the revision identifiers agreed in the brief. A review file supports traceability; it does not certify a component or demonstrate that hardware passed a test.
Compare a specification project, then prepare your files
The published LTE chipset case records a custom chipset technical specification delivered as a controlled Chinese–English bilingual set in 2016. Its client is anonymized. It supports specification experience, without identifying a component brand or proving a particular product result.
This guide concerns a multi-section specification and its review history. Use the datasheet guide for device-parameter publication checks, or the existing-translation update guide for the broader reuse decision. For English source material, start with English-to-Chinese preparation.
Questions
What should accompany a revised electronic specification?
Should unchanged Chinese clauses be rewritten?
Can the Chinese version keep the source requirement numbers and references?
