Proofreading services
Our proofreaders provide – in foreign languages as well as in Czech – a professional level of
- spelling and grammar corrections
- stylistic corrections
- typographical corrections
- prepress proofreading
- proofreading of specialized technical documents
Basic proofreading, i.e. checking for typos, is included in the price of the translation.
Full proofreading of the text involves checking for typos, spelling, grammatical and stylistic errors, as well as incorrect punctuation.
For any document to be proofread by a native speaker, both the translation and its source text must be made available by the client.
Proofreading in foreign languages is carried out by experienced native speakers; in Czech by highly-qualified proofreaders holding relevant university degrees.
Proofreading by a native speaker is advisable for all translations that are to be published on the Internet, in the media or printed out.
