I had a friend who started a business offering a service to translate documentation, packaging, and fix websites for Chinese vendors way back in the mid 2000's. He found they are simply not interested, maybe because someone will lose face. He closed up shop after three months.

Well it's easy if the Chinese companies actually saw any value in it. I wouldn't expect them to have somebody on the payroll in most cases, it's the sort of thing you'd do on a contract basic. I shouldn't even be expensive, I mean in the case of these batteries I'd do it in exchange for a few free packs of batteries. It's a trivial task that would take only a few minutes.

Either way it shouldn't be hard to find an individual in the target market willing to go over the translation and clean it up. Even a complete idiot could make a big improvement on the "Chinglish" in a on a lot of packages and manuals. Although some of the text that is out there does make for some good laughs.
