EDITING AND PROOFREADING

Interna Translations is an experienced and reliable translation agency in the heart of Zurich. We have been offering professional editing and proofreading services in over 50 languages since 2006.

Editing and proofreading require absolute precision. Meticulousness and attention to detail are key to the way we work at Interna Translations. We are not satisfied until even the slightest stumbling block has been cleared away.

Proofreading, editing, print proofing or post-editing

Proofreading primarily involves checking spelling, grammar and punctuation. However, we also check whether translated texts match up with the source documents. Has every word been translated? Have any facts, figures and names been carried over correctly?

When it comes to editing, we also scrutinise style, linguistic nuances and finer details, as well as specific regional characteristics. We replace repeated words with synonyms, inject some variety into monotonous sentence openers and untangle complex phrases.

With print proofing, we ensure that a file is ready for printing. The review is performed – just before a document is due to go to press – on the latest control proof in PDF form. The review process focuses on the actual text, so it picks up on things like word division, layout and typographical errors.

In the case of post-editing, we revise and correct a ‘machine’ translation. Depending on the target group, full post-editing or light post-editing may be appropriate. Please take a look at our blog post on this subject. (German only)

You choose whether you would like us to proofread or edit your text or whether you might prefer print proofing or post-editing.

We always recommend opting for the full editing service and print proofing if you are planning to distribute your text widely. Whether it’s a company website, a customer magazine, an annual report or a product brochure, if your text is going to be publicly available, it needs to be finely polished – anything less could tarnish your image.

Western European languages

What our clients say about us

„Da wir in unserem Lokal Angestellte mit verschiedenen Sprachen haben, brauchen wir immer wieder Übersetzungen. Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit der professionellen Unterstützung von Interna Translations. Die Übersetzer*innen sind sehr kompetent und hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank!“

Sehr professionell und hilfsbereit. Schnelle Antwort und Lieferung. Top Beratung! Würde ich sofort wieder einen Auftrag geben. Nur zu empfehlen!

Ich schätze bei Interna Translations, dass die Sachbearbeiterinnen jeden Auftrag umgehend – und mit einer Angabe zum Lieferzeitpunkt – bestätigen und dass die Übersetzungen rechtzeitig, professionell und hochwertig eintreffen. Die Übersetzer zeigen sich insbesondere dann als sehr gewandt, wenn es gilt, Wortspiele oder Helvetismen zu adaptieren.
