The hardest part of this is finding someonw not only knows the language
well but have a good under standing of the product, or is willing to learn
about your product.


Absolute nonsense. The simple fact is, the Chinese can't
be bothered. E.g. Silicon valley, which is now nearly 50%
immigrant Asian and which has been decimated by the
'dot com collapse' is chock full of companies who write
decent English manuals, and chock full of people who're
desperate for gainful employment of any kind.

It's greed and sheer laziness on the part of Asian (mostly
Chinese) manufacturers. Nothing else.
