Editing- incorporating minor changes in the original document into the translated document, i.e. markups on preliminary drafts. This is usually accomplished via "track change" function.
Proofreading- reading the translated document with a critical eye to ensure that the text conveys the meaning of the original document and is appropriate for the target audience, thereby making any necessary grammar, syntax, or style changes. Upon request, it is also possible to perform a final proofread before the translated document is sent to print. In this case, only the final version of the translated document is proofread for minor formatting (capitalization of headings, etc.), spelling, and punctuation with no reference to the original document.
NOTE: Before accepting an editing/proofreading project, we must view the translated document in order to ascertain the quality of the translation. If the quality of the translation is not up to professional standards, it may be necessary to re-translate the document, in which case we will contact you before we begin.
