Translation, Editing, and Proofing
The need for efficient and high-quality translation is at an all-time high. However, you also need to pay keen attention to the editing and proofing side of the equation. At International Language Services we know the importance of this, and implement efforts to provide the best translation services possible for our clients.
Editing & Proofing: Ensuring Accuracy and Clarity in Our Work
When you reach out to us for translation assistance, you also get the added benefit of editing and proofing. At International Language Services, we know that quality translation comes with knowing particular tones and cultural nuances. With that in mind, we integrate those elements into our work in our comprehensive three-step process.
Our Editing Process
At International Language Services we translate in over 180 different languages. To ensure accuracy and clarity, each translation team assigned to your project is comprised of two native-speaking translators. The first translates the document into the target language while considering cultural and regional language nuances. This ensures clarity for your intended audience while maintaining the tone and style of the original communication.
Once the initial translation is completed, the second translator compares the translation to the source file for accuracy, completeness, and tone. If the translation can be improved, proposed edits are provided. This second look ensures that your message is consistently communicated across all the languages you need. Making editing and proofing translations a standard part of our process helps ensure a level of accuracy and clarity that our clients have come to rely upon.
Reviewing Translations
At times we get clients that have had a translation completed previously, but they want to verify its accuracy or get a second opinion in terms of context and cultural dialect. We happily take on these projects and will review the information as much as we do in projects done from scratch.
During the review process, we take both the original document and the provided translation. We then do a cursory review to see if the two overlap correctly. Sometimes there are a few errors, and we will proceed with the job on a correction basis.
However, there are times when it becomes evident that the initial translator was an artificial intelligence service. Often there are significant errors that come with this route, and it doesn’t read in the same fluid manner that a human native speaker provides. In events such as this, we typically recommend a complete retranslation.
