English Editing

Editing and proofreading of English texts and translations into English, covering grammar, terminology, consistency and clarity.

Typical Applications

Editing and proofreading apply to English texts and translations into English that need correction or refinement before use. After reviewing the file, we confirm whether it requires editing or a new translation.

Texts we edit:

  • Translations by other translators or by machine translation tools
  • Texts written in English
  • Translations that require correction
  • Business correspondence, proposals and presentations

Our Approach

Each text is read first with its purpose and audience in mind, to define the scope of editing. The English is then edited and proofread. For translations, the text is also checked against the original when you provide it.

Scope of Editing

Each text is reviewed with its purpose and audience in mind. Grammar, spelling and terminology are corrected, and wording that makes the English difficult to follow is revised.

Editing preserves the information and intended meaning of your text. For translations, the text is compared with the original when you provide it.

Annotated Corrections

Grammar, word choice and style are corrected, and the author's meaning is preserved. Select a marked edit to see the reason for it.

Grammar

With "since", English calls for the present perfect ("have worked"), and a company takes "at", not "in".

Project Workflow

Send the text and, for translations, the original document. Tell us where the text will be used and when you need it. The quote states the price, scope and delivery date before work begins.

You receive the edited version and, where useful, notes on the main changes. If the text requires a new translation rather than editing, we inform you before work begins.
