Revision
Revision puts the finishing touch to any translated document.
It's all about quality assurance – after all, two heads are better than one!
I'll compare the translation with the original document to make sure that it's accurate, the meaning is in tact and the text does what you need it to. I'll also carry out an English-language copyedit to hone the writing and correct any errors that might have slipped through the net.
You can then rest assured that the documents you're sending out into the world are every bit as professional as you are.
How it works
quote
Send me your document and tell me what you need. I'll make sure I understand the brief, then send you a personalised quote and a delivery timeframe.
translation
I'll get to work on the translation. During this time, I may need to send you queries to double check that I'm using your preferred terminology and adhering to your house style.
DELIVERY
You'll receive your document on time and with any useful comments and notes I can provide. The format will be as close as possible to the original so that the document is ready to use straight away.
FOLLOW-UP
If you have any questions, queries or comments once you've had the chance to read through the translation, send them over and I'll provide a prompt response.
