JF-17: Full Manual Machine Translation

Yesterday, I posted a short video and article to ask you guys for help with the radar simulation and operation of the JF-17's KLJ-7. Besides the points I did not understand (and about which I received some really great answers, so thanks, everyone!), I had one complaint: the lack of a complete English manual.

The translations are available in the Download page. If you are wondering why two files, keep reading!

我不知道這意味著什麼

Since I can’t speak a logogram of Chinese, I used automatic translation services. The original file was too big, so I had to split it, have each part translated, and then merge them again.

I used a bunch of services and kept these two:

  1. OnlineDocTranslator: a jungle of ads, it is entirely free, but the result was not great;
  2. DeepL Pro: bloody expensive, but the free trial allows limited doc translations. Definitely a better translation overall.

I also tried Google Translate, but it looked exactly as the ads trap, I wonder if they are just using Google via API.

After the translation, I used merged the files back into a single one.
I decided to share both versions in case one of them badly translates some passages.

Obviously, machine translations are always coherent, albeit AI advancements have somewhat improved the situation in recent years. In case a manage to put together a better version, I will update this article and replace the files.

I hope these translations will come in handy for you. I will certainly use them.
