Bilingual translation editing

Comparing the translated text against the original to check its accuracy and adequacy. Accuracy is accurate translation of concepts and messages. Adequacy is the suitability of tone, jargon and style for the user in mind.

Editing services are charged by the hour. The time it will take depends on the quality of the translation and, with some texts full of figures, for example, the extra attention to detail needed.

Professional proofreading

I recently trained in professional book proofreading, known as “corrección de pruebas” in Spanish and, in particular, in language proofreading. In rough terms, it involves checking all the language norms have been adhered to (grammar, punctuation…) and style marks (bold, italics, highlighting) and other visuals (photo resolution, photo footers, columns, column headers, tables, table headings, footnotes, etc.) are used consistently and clearly. Errors and inconsistencies are highlighted to the typesetter, who implements the changes, ending with a final text that is easy and a pleasure to read.

Have a Spanish book or another Spanish text for publication that needs professional proofreading, say an article for a magazine?
