For your added peace of mind
Proofreading and editing services… because everyone can make mistakes!
Everyone can make mistakes, and that’s why our clients turn to Acute Translations, where our specialized proofreaders and editors will carefully review your documents and correct everything, from the most critical errors to even the tiniest of slips – nothing escapes their expert eyes! Proofreading generally refers to the act of reading a proof copy of a text or translation in order to detect and correct any and all errors. The proofreader assigned to each project is a specialist in that particular field, so that not only are any and all typos, grammar and usage mistakes found and corrected, but that all sector-specific and technical terminology is verified as well.
At Acute Translations, our Proofreading and Editing Service is included free of charge for all translations we perform, as a part of our 7-Step Total Quality Assurance Strategy. However, we also understand that our diverse clients around the world have diverse needs and requirements. Therefore, our proofreading services are diverse as well. Perhaps you have written or translated a documented yourself, and would like it to be proofread. We’re ready! Perhaps you have received a document or series of documents, and you would like to have them proofread and checked for accuracy before working with them. We’re ready for that, too! Following are just a few of Acute Translations’ many proofreading services. Contact us for more information.
TEP (Translation Editing and Proofreading)
TEP is our most complete translation and proofreading service, for those projects in which accuracy and precision are of the utmost importance. While all our translations are always reviewed and edited by a second expert linguist as part of our 7-step total quality assurance strategy, TEP takes our normally outstanding quality even further and adds a second proofreader to the process. This additional review is always conducted by a third mother-tongue sector specialist, and will give you the extra peace of mind that comes from knowing that your document has been reviewed not once but twice, both times by an expert linguist. Contact us for further details on TEP for your project today!
Acute Translations’ 7-Step Total Quality Assurance Strategy
- Translator Screening. One of the keys to good translations lies in the linguistic excellence of the translator. Our translators are expert linguists who only translate into their native languages.
- Communication and Project Management. The second key to good translations is outstanding communication. Once we receive your order, it will be assigned to a Project Manager, who will act as a liaison between you and all the language experts working on your project. That way, all questions will be answered and any uncertainties will be addressed quickly and efficiently.
- Key Term Check. A third key to good translations is, obviously, use of correct terminology. Before we begin the actual translation, we first extract and translate key terms, creating a project glossary.
- Translation Memory. Increasingly, a fourth key to good translations is the use of TM software. All of our translators use Translation Memory software, which enhances translation quality and consistency.
- Proofreading. The fifth key to good translations is checking and then checking again! As soon as your translation is received from the translator, it is passed to a second linguist for proofreading.
- Final Print Check. The sixth key to good translations is the final print check. At this stage verifies and confirms proper page layout, correct headers/footers, page numbering and insertion of graphics. Now the translation is ready to be sent to you!
- Final Client Check and Approval. This, of course, is the final key to good translations – happy clients! We are always more than happy to review every element of the translation with you, and aim for your 100% satisfaction.
