International Market Research Translation Specialists

You’ve had your questionnaires translated but you or your client need additional reassurance that they say what you want them to say, in the way you want to say it.

You have two options: proofreading and back-translation.

Proofreading means having a second, fully qualified translator go through the translation, checking it against the source text for accuracy, spelling and integrity.

We offer two levels of proofreading:
Standard
The translation will be fully checked against the source materials. The translator will be checking for accuracy, spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, typos and awkward phrasing. Any changes made will be highlighted using the Track Changes tool in Word or highlighted in Excel or PowerPoint so you can see exactly where improvements were necessary. We will also provide a short report detailing the overall quality of the translation as well as the types of changes made.

Standard Plus
This is the same as the Standard service but with a more detailed report. Each change will be listed along with the reason for the change, from spelling and grammar to mistranslations. You can accept or reject each change safe in the knowledge that you know exactly what has changed and why.
