Revision

Proofreading or revision? Two often confused terms in translation
ablewordsblog.wordpress.com

Whenever I get asked to ‘proofread’ something that involves a translation, I make sure to ask what the client actually wants me to do. Should I check the translation against the source text to make sure the translation is correct and fit for its intended purpose? Or should I check the text for spelling and […]

By revision I’m referring to a translation being checked against the source by a second translator. A lot of colleagues refer to this as proofreading, but proofreading is a different skill performed by a proofreader who isn’t usually a translator at all.                                                                                                                                                                     https://nikkigrahamtranix.com

Algunos investigadores distinguen entre evaluación (evaluation) y valoración (assessment) y otras definiciones señalan que evaluar es el proceso de […]

Paving the way
www.allisonwrighttranslations.com

There are two basic truths which apply to the profession of translation: we learn from our mistakes; and we learn from other people. If we are fortunate, we find our errors before delivering our work, or translation errors are discussed with us by mentors, project managers at agencies, or revisors.       http://www.allisonwrighttranslations.com

When Bad Translations Happen to Good People

I received an assignment from a long-standing client last week that made my Spidey-sense tingle as soon as I read the instructions. It was billed as a super easy review of a translation done in-house at a hospital which should take no more than half an hour. Uh-huh.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            http://translationwordshop.com

Proof-reading – editing – revising: the essentials
spotlightontranslation.blogspot.be

Today, I want to talk a little bit about a term used by work-providers and which greatly irritates many translators: that term is ‘proof-reading’. I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked to ‘proof-read’ a text, only to find that what is actually meant is something else entirely.   http://spotlightontranslation.blogspot.be

The aim of this stage is to verify the accuracy of the translated text in comparison to the source text, as well as to ensure fluency and adaptation to the target audience.

La face cachée de la révision

(Illustration: Marlène Junius) Conséquence des dernières normes qualité dans le secteur de la traduction, de nombreux fournisseurs de services de traduction imposent révision ou remaniement systématique des textes traduits par un second traducteur, avec l’idée que cela améliore nécessairement la qualité.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         http://traduire.revues.org
