Proofreading
Ensuring nothing is lost in translation
When only a small amount of text needs to be translated, it is common to ask a colleague who has studied the language academically or to use an online tool or machine translation for instant results. However, these options may have limitations in terms of accuracy, resulting in grammatical errors that could come across as unprofessional. Direct translation of phrases may not always be possible, and a trained human eye is needed to identify any cultural shifts or language changes required for accurate translation.
Proofreading services for translation work are essential to ensure the accuracy, consistency, and cultural appropriateness of the final product. It helps to capture errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling while ensuring that the intended message is conveyed clearly and effectively.
For organisations who already have translated text, we’re able to provide a proofreading service – where a qualified and experienced linguist will assess the quality and accuracy of the document and make any necessary updates. Meaning you can be assured of a high quality language translation that’s ready to share with your clients and customers.
