Superior quality tech writing from foreign countries? You don't mean in English, do you? I hardly find any instructions, directions, or manuals for anything anymore that I'd call well written. I see a lot of sentences that don't make sense, words used incorrectly, and documentation with pages and pages of corrections. Any more, I try to just use it first, then go back to the documentation to see if I can fill in the gaps with anything I missed.
English is weird. This is the one advantage native speakers have in the field of technical writing. Technical writing is a wonderful career for people who enjoy playing with new toys, and learning new technologies. I'm sanguine at the moment, since my current contract pays benefits, is with a stable company, and serving a reasonably stable client. It was great to bring my wife home last July, after a six-year sojourn in the work force. (she took a health-care job after the dot-com bust).
