Editing Services

Translations by definition are true and accurate renderings of the source text. They are not necessarily verbatim, but translators are compelled to maintain the integrity of the source document, while writing a clear and correct version of it in the target language. Sometimes you will need services beyond this - this is called editing. After the original translation is completed, a secondary "editor" is enlisted to enhance the text so that it will read and flow more smoothly. The editor takes "creative license" with the text, as he is no longer restricted to the source text. Editing is used primarily for Advertising & Marketing pieces.

Proofing Services

From time to time you may need a second pair of eyes on some internally translated material or preprint bluelines. TransNation is ready to assist you with this effort. We offer proofreading services in all languages. This service can also assist you in determinining an employee’s translation capabilities so that you can tap into this often overlooked but valuable resource.
