Actually, I'd be interested in the answer to these questions as well. Off
line if you prefer.

Subject: Differences between training guide vs user's guide?

Off topic, but of interest to me and possibly others: I've been told by 
several Chinese colleagues that Chinese readers are now so accustomed 
to English rhetorical styles and instructional approaches in user 
manuals that they simply accept the English approach rather than 
requiring or preferring a fully localized version that takes advantage 
of Chinese rhetorical and pedagogical approaches. How true is this in 
your experience? How would you describe these differences? (Private 
reply would be fine.)
