COPY EDITING & PROOFREADING

Proofreading

In our translation process, proofreading is an integral part of quality management. In this in-house quality control process, translations are checked for completeness, spelling, grammar, numbers and terminology.

If you wish, we can arrange additional proofreading by a second translator specializing in the same subject area (dual control principle) or an additional review processes involving your foreign subsidiaries. Copy editing also includes stylistic corrections to enhance comprehensibility and readability. We can also condense or tighten the text if necessary. Feel free to contact us about this.
