HOW EDITING IS DIFFERENT FROM PROOF-READING?



As our clients deliver their projects to us, we keep utmost quality at the top by the assistance of translators and proof-readers. Our scalability is ensured by our rigorous process in which every document is gone through the trio steps that are translating, editing and proofreading. To let you know, why editors and proof-readers are indispensable part of translation process, we have set up a quick guide that will make you clear the role of editors and proof-readers.

The role of an editor :
As soon as the document gets translated, editing phase initiates. This step is put into completion by the same linguist but it is a defined phase that is demarcated. Complete consistency is assured by keeping an eye on any mistranslations, misinterpretations, vocabulary inconsistencies or linguistic errors.

The role of a proof-reader:
Once the quality of translation is fixed by the editor, then the role of proof-reader comes into play. The proof-reader is native in the target language and also has a possession over the original text. This phase is immensely crucial in case of more than linguist’s involvement in the single project.



 Three main tasks are performed by the proof-readers. Firstly, it is highly imperative for the proof-reader to make sure that the context of the translated document must be comprehensible. To overcome any confusions and to scrutinize transnational choices, free exchange of ideas among the editor, translator, proof-readers should be there. 

It is the duty of the proof-reader to check that the text is free of grammatical errors and typos left by the editor.
