Proofreading & Editing

Quality control

LANGUAGE CATCHER™ offers separate professional editing and proofreading services to ensure higher quality of your documents prior to use/publication. The terms editing and proofreading are often used interchangeably but they mean two different things:

 

Editing

This the process of checking the text to make sure that the correct terminology was used. This process does not focus on the form but rather on the terminology used.

  • Our editing services include an extensive reviewing of the translated text against the original to check for any mistranslations, misinterpretations, vocabulary inconsistencies, and grammatical linguistic errors. This process typically requires more time than proofreading as the editor may have to conduct a lot more research using specialised dictionaries or glossaries.  Editing is not limited to correcting errors but also consists of improving the content and style of a text. The key issue is the general comprehension of the reader. 

  • The editor will recommend some changes or corrections and it is up to the translator of the original document (not the editor) to implement those changes.

​

Proofreading

  • Proofreading is the process of examining a text and looking for spelling, grammar, syntax and punctuation errors, typos and other unintended mistakes. The meaning of words and terminology is irrelevant here, as the job focuses only on the correctness/form of the text. It is a contextual/factual review only. This step is usually undertaken on the final version of a text immediately before printing/publication.

INTERPRETING

We'll be your voice

I have acted as an interpreter on a ad hoc basis several times during my professional career and I am currently undertaking further academic training to become a NAATI interpreter. If you require a non-NAATI interpreter, I might be able to help depending on the nature of the assignment. Otherwise, I would be more than happy to recommend other highly qualified NAATI interpreters to assist you.
