Editing & Post-editing

Home » Services » Copywriting & Transcreation » Editing & Post-editing

No work goes out the door here at Absolute Translations before it has been thoroughly checked

 

We have a rigorous quality assurance process and our team are more than happy to oblige.

Can we edit your translations or your copy too? Of course we can! We can’t stress enough the importance of editing and proofreading. By a second or third set of eyes, that is.

Translators or copywriters may work on a text for days and they may proof their text over and over again, but it’s common to overlook this one naughty little typo that’s lurking on the end of a line. So obvious to a second reader, but completely invisible to the original writer.

Why work with Absolute Translations?

 

Our editors are seasoned linguists, creative writers and style addicts all in one.

We don’t just proof a text and make a few edits, we will look for the best possible expressions at all times, whether corporate, legal, consumer engaging or any other type of text.

Our team are true blue perfectionists and will lose sleep over it, if necessary. Your copy will be in the most capable hands, guaranteed.

Copywriting comes in many shapes and forms, ranging from marketing to SEO and even technical copywriting.

Regardless of the type of copywriting you use, knowing what copywriting is and why it’s important is vital.

The information you put on your website reflects your business, so ensuring you strike the right tone and include the necessary information is critical.

Post-editing

 

Post-editing is a different type of editing altogether: post-editing is performed on translations which are AI machine-generated.

Machine Translation (MT) is a useful and productive tool if used the correct way.

There are two factors determining the linguistic effort required for post-editing:

  1. the quality of the MT raw output
  2. the expected end quality of the content

To keep things simple, we will focus on the expected end quality of the content, because the quality of the MT raw output depends on factors largely out of our control (such as quality of source content, language combination and terminology database).

There are two levels of end quality for post-editing

Fit for purpose

Fit for purpose or good enough is defined as comprehensible (i.e. you can understand the main content of the message), accurate (i.e. it communicates the same meaning as the source text), but as not being stylistically compelling.

The text may sound like it was generated by a computer, syntax might be somewhat unusual, grammar may not be perfect but the message is accurate.

To reach this level of quality, light post-editing is usually recommended. A professional translator will review and edit the machine generated translations and ensure that it renders an accurate meaning of the source text.

Publishable

Publishable quality that is similar to high-quality human translation and revision is generally defined as being comprehensible (i.e. an end user perfectly understands the content of the message), accurate (i.e. it communicates the same meaning as the source text) and stylistically of a good quality. Syntax is normal, grammar and punctuation are correct.

To reach quality that is of a publishable standard, full post-editing is usually recommended.

A professional translator will review and edit the text to ensure that the machine translations are accurate and grammatically and stylistically correct.

What our clients say

I just wanted to again thank you and your company for your willingness to be involved in such a small community based project in the flexible and positive way you have.

If you have the opportunity to pass on my personal thanks to those translators involved I would appreciate it. We hope that this will be a starting point for projects such as this to provide a wider array of assistance to people from all CALD backgrounds and they have contributed greatly to that cause.

I will promote your company at every opportunity and have taken action to ensure outstanding monies will be paid directly.

David Browning, Community Development Manager, Life Transitions Incorporated

Vee and her team were professional, accommodating and delivered an excellent level of service. The brief they took was tight and the process of peer review of all translations was clear and added real value and confidence. An excellent partner.

Leon McCormack, Insync surveys

I just wanted to pass on my appreciation for the interpreting services provided by Angela.

Angela’s professionalism greatly assisted the courts in a serious sexual crime which resulted in the committing to trial of a sex offender. Angela developed a rapport with the victim which enabled the victim to give her evidence in this difficult matter. I have no hesitation in recommending Angela for any future interpreting services. Angela certainly made my job easier during the court processes with a number of Korean witnesses.

Thanks again

Craig Stokes, Surfers Paradise CIB, Queensland Police Service

Hi Joanna,

I have been asked to contact you in regards to our function held on Sunday night. Both Tony & our Executive Director for Australia, Chris Thoroughgood, were very impressed with Mr Sun, he has done an excellent job interpreting for our valued guests from China, and we would like to let you know that we would have no hesitation in using his services again in the future or recommending him to any of our associates.

Could you kindly pass on our appreciation and thanks to him also.

Thanks again for your help in sourcing Mr Sun for our event.

Kind Regards

Nicole Kowalczuk, Noble Resources International Australia Pty Ltd

Hi Veerle,

We have just returned from China.

I wanted to thank you for your prompt and professional manner in which you translated our collateral and returned it via email for printing. Our clients were very impressed with the translation and the effort gone into them.

I will certainly recommend your services to other business contacts and if the opportunity arises, we will not hesitate to use your services again.

Tracey Lamont, Account Manager. Impact Engineering

Our manager was impressed by the professionalism and level of service offered by two of your interpreters at the APREC conference in the Gold Coast and we are now looking for interpreters for upcoming meetings in Qatar. My colleague Jenna, from BDO Brisbane, has very kindly forwarded me your contact details.

Stephanie Garcia Florez, BDO – Brussels Worldwide Services

We use this company mainly for the transcreation of our marketing material, which can be quite complex with mining and technical terms. On the whole, we have been very happy with the quality of their work. They readily meet our, at times, urgent deadlines and are always ready to help with any questions we might have. We continue to use their services and we highly recommend Absolute Translations.

Virginia Aquilizan, Deswik Mining

Absolute translations provided a translation of over 20 different documents into 4 different languages. They did it within agreed timelines and the quality was excellent. I was especially impressed with how they maintained the formatting of the document design as some of the design features were tricky to edit.

Justine Chittick, Nufarm

Thank you so much for providing your test translation. The feedback from our Chinese testers was that it was the best translation amongst three. Apparently, the translation demonstrated a good understanding of geological terms and overall content. Loyal to the English original, with good sentence flow. I will be recommending you for the next publication and any other products requiring Chinese translation. I look forward to contacting you for the next project.

Chantelle Farrar, Geoscience Australia

We just wanted to say a very big thank you for your efforts in sourcing a suitable translator and providing excellent service.

So often we get used to dealing with mediocrity but dealing with you and Absolute Translations was a pleasure. It was no easy task what we presented you with given the technical complexity and specific requirements for our project, but you delivered.

Vaughan Geldenhaus, AECOM
