This is the process of transferring written text from one language into another, considering the original message, text style, format, tone and register.

The translation is compared with its original counterpart and it is checked thoroughly to verify its truthfulness and faithfulness. Grammatical, stylistic, terminological corrections, among others, are made so as to ensure that the text fulfils the client’s expectations and needs.

This involves a detailed reading and correction of a text translated by a different translator, focusing only on the target text. It is useful for identifying and correcting line spacing, semantics and typographic errors, among others; and perfecting the translation so that it sounds natural and fluent.

The three essential steps in the translation process: translation, editing and proofreading. These are the key stages to assure the translation accuracy, truthfulness, faithfulness and quality, making sure it reads as if it had been written in the target language.
