Proofreading and revision of your translations
Asiatis proofreads or revises translations already produced by your teams, a vendor or a machine. Proofreading checks the translated text on its own: language, spelling, consistency. Revision compares it sentence by sentence with the source to check meaning and terminology. A linguist native in the target language does the work.
Proofreading or revision: which one do you need?
Proofreading is enough when the meaning has already been checked and the text only needs polishing before publication.
Revision is needed when you do not know who translated the text, or when it commits your company: a contract, instructions, a regulatory document.
