Hi Bruce You need a translator (as opposed to interpreter)preferably National Accreditation Authority Translators and Interpreters) NAATI Level 3 at least, preferably native Mandarin speaker (we translate best INTO a native language), and also with some knowledge or quals within the subject matter of your doco. Take this brief to a couple of agencies, including SBS and get some quotes and references. I'm ex-regional manager of NAATI and have also arranged lots of translations, and this is the way it works best until you have a translator whose work you know and who can you call on.
