Accurate Proofreading Services

What is proofreading?

Proofreading is a thorough, final quality check of written content before publication. This differs from editing, which is about improving the quality of the content itself, whereas proofreading is about ensuring text accuracy and removing errors.

Proofreaders scour a document to find and correct various different issues, from accuracy of spelling, and grammar and syntax, to consistency in style and presentation, and whether there are any typos.

Translation proofreading is inherently more complex than standard proofreading, as translation proofreaders must make sure that content can be understood in a different language to the original text. To achieve this, they require an in-depth insight into the original document’s nuances, alongside proofreading the text in translation.

Here at London Translations, we provide specialist translation proofreading services that guarantee the accuracy of your business’s content. Our proofreaders will make sure your documents are devoid of mistakes and completely ready for your target audience, whatever language they speak.

We use only mother tongue translators, which helps to ensure quality proofreading services. This guarantees that any translated content is just as fluent to read as the original documents.

Do I Need Translation Proofreading?

Whilst translation proofreading is undoubtedly important, it is not necessary for every type of document. Translations can be highly accurate regardless of a whether standalone proofreading service is used, especially if the content was originally translated by an expert linguist.

For instance, there is much less need to proofread internal documents, which will only be read within an organisation. By contrast, public-facing content that might be seen by numerous clients or customers would greatly benefit from translation proofreading. This is particularly relevant for content aimed at improving company sales, such as websites and marketing content. Translation proofreading ensures that your documents are completely accurate and stylistically sound, helping you to get a maximum return-on-investment.

Testimonials

Thank you for your excellent work in translating our marketing presentations from English to Thai, German, Dutch and Norwegian. We were very impressed with the level of personal service we received and your company’s commitment to meeting our deadlines even though we made several last minute additions and changes to the texts.

My client needed this document translated as soon as possible and your company delivered it far sooner than I or he expected. In a world where great customer service has become a thing of the past, it’s refreshing to see a company who still strives to be great. I cannot commend you and your company enough for the excellent work done.

Thank you and your team for responding so efficiently with the translation. We really appreciate your work.
