Written Translation & Certification
Editing & Proofreading
A translation is only ready for publication or official use once a second expert has checked it. We review translations you've done yourself or received from another provider against the source text for meaning, terminology, language and formatting. We also proofread texts that aren't translations.
What do we check?
We offer two options. In editing, we compare the translation with the source text sentence by sentence. In proofreading, we read only the target text for language and style. Depending on the option, we check:
- Accuracy against the source and missing content
- Terminology and consistency
- Grammar, spelling and punctuation
- Style and flow
- Numbers, dates and proper names
- Formatting and layout
How it works
Send your files
Please send the source text along with the translation, and your termbase if you have one.
Get a quote
We look at the quality of the translation and send you the price and delivery date in writing.
Review
An editor who specializes in the field makes corrections directly in the file.
Delivery
We deliver the corrections with track changes on, so you can see every change.
Pricing and turnaround
The price depends on the length of the text and the quality of the translation. Reviewing costs less than translating. If the translation needs to be redone from scratch, we'll tell you in advance. We confirm the final date in writing with the quote.
FAQ
Do I pay extra for proofreading on texts you translate?
No. Every text we translate is checked by a separate editor, and that step is included in the price.
Do you proofread texts that aren't translations?
Yes. We also proofread texts that aren't translations, such as reports, presentations, web content and books, for language and style.
What if the review shows the translation isn't good enough?
We let you know and explain why. If we recommend a new translation instead of corrections, we send you the price and timeline separately. The decision is yours.
