A single proofreading session is often not enough for higher quality, which is why our in-house quality assurance department double-checks every translation.

Translations of highly specific technical texts – manuals, specification sheets and requirement profiles – will be read by a target audience of engineers, processing companies and end clients alike. This content needs to be phrased in a way that is both impeccably accurate and user-friendly enough to convey the technical information in readable, comprehensible language. This is why all relevant company texts need to be proofread.
We take care of text adaptation; this includes externally produced texts.
Its message, style and grammar have to be impeccable. Our professional proofreaders scrutinize every single word of your text: Does the style of your text match its content? Or could it use a little fine-tuning in terms of its metaphors or wording? During the proofreading process, we make sure that our translation does justice to your source text. Not only that: our thorough editing will also eliminate any unnecessary information and empty phrases.
The proofreader will adapt your texts to suit the target group, cultural context and regional specificities.
Every translation is sent to our in-house quality assurance department, including translations in non-European languages. Our proofreaders don’t just check translations for perfect spelling and punctuation. They consider the text as a whole to ensure that the translation flows naturally. Our translators are native speakers who know the unique characteristics of the target language and cultural nuances of the target market. The quality assurance team gives your translation the finishing touch for a flawless text.
We offer experienced proofreaders and comprehensive advice.
Close cooperation is an important criterion for success. Your proofreader is your expert partner and will dedicate his or her linguistic expertise to making your project a success by establishing close contact with you and/or the author of your translation. No text will leave our hands before it is completely ready for print and publication.
