As well as manufacturing our own products we buy in products from suppliers
and rebrand them to sell on. We redo their manuals (often some rewritting to
reduce the amount of text) for our needs and translate them for our European
market. We send the pdf of the manuals to the suppliers for them to print
and ship with the product. One of our suppliers has now contacted us to ask
if they can buy some of our translations of their product. We've never been
approached for this before and are not sure what to ask. The manual is
around 4 pages per language.
Have any you been in this situation before? How do you determine what to
charge? Thanks.
Cheers,
jennifer
