A huge amount of effort goes into the creation and translation of your website, surveys, training materials, content and more. Ensuring your work is linguistically accurate, grammatically correct and culturally appropriate for your target audience, regardless of the language, is vital. As part of the translation process, proofreading can provide additional reassurances as to the quality of your materials.
In the context of translation, proofreading (or revision) is the process of checking a translation against the original materials to ensure they are fit for purpose. This includes checking for accuracy, spelling, grammar, syntax, consistency and completeness among other elements. The proofreader will correct any issues detected, providing where appropriate, explanations to the client so they know the nature and necessity of the changes.
Proofreading forms an important part of the quality process for market research projects, along with ISO 17100-compliant translation and revision services, online quality control and the use of experienced Project Managers.
To ensure that each translation meets your high standards, The Language Factory offers a best-in-class proofreading service.
