Proofreading
Why proofreading?
When proofreading your translations, I check for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and completeness. Numbers, dates, and facts are verified against the source text to ensure the translation is accurate, consistent, and tailored to your target audience.
Proofreading is charged per word or per hour – whatever works best for you. Separate rates apply for post-editing in an agency context.
Machine Translation Post-Editing
