Proofreading

Proofreading- what does it encompass?

Proofreading involves checking of texts for errors in meaning, spelling, grammar, style and formatting. Proofreading is generally performed on texts which have already been translated from one language to another. Even the very best translators can make mistakes and proofreading is a way of catching and correcting these mistakes before the final version of the document is sent to the client. Proofreading can transform a good translation into an excellent translation and is an invaluable service for businesses who operate internationally or in multilingual markets.

What kind of proofreading services do Aploq Translations provide?

Aploq provides both monolingual and bilingual proofreading services for all of our language combinations. This can be following a translation or can be a service on its own. Monolingual proofreading involves the checking of the translation/text by a native speaker of the target language with proven experience in the particular subject area. Bilingual proofreading involves checking of the translation into the target language against the original source text. This kind of proofreading is undertaken by a native in the target language with excellent knowledge of the source language, as well as specialist knowledge of the translation subject. In this way bilingual proofreading ensures absolute correlation between the source and target texts.
