Each translation that JASL carries out is subject to a quality control test before delivery, always included in the price of the service. However, we also provide a service for proofreading technical documents that are already in English:

  • Simple grammar and spell check of a document in English,

  • In-depth correction, with editorial assistance, of a document in English to uncover inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the organization and terminology and resolve them.

During the proofreading, we perform a thorough final check for errors in the structure of sentences. We check the text is fit for purpose, by comparing the source text and target text for coherent terminology, language register and style. We may recommend improvements.

We also provide:

  • Stylistic and linguistic proofreading by a second linguist.

  • The analysis of the target text without referring to the source text to determine if the document is fit for purpose and respects applicable norms.

The editorial assistance also includes the proofreading and translation of books, articles and other text for publication.

Our proofreaders:

Go beyond the simple “spell check” to identify errors that a computer might miss.

Ensure that no grammatical mistake is present after the modification of your document.
