Revision is a bilingual process where a reviser compares the source and target texts side by side, checking for accuracy, terminology, and style. Review is a monolingual assessment of the target text only, evaluating readability, domain conventions, and suitability for the agreed purpose. Both methods follow ISO 17100.
Absolutely. If you already have a translation, you can order standalone proofreading in any foreign language. We will assign a native-speaker linguist with domain expertise to review your text.
We provide proofreading services for over 30 languages, with particular strength in Adriatic and Central European languages including Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, Macedonian, as well as major European languages like English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish.
All proofreading is performed by qualified linguists who are native speakers of the target language. The reviser is always a person other than the translator, ensuring an independent quality check as required by ISO 17100.
We use large language models to scan documents for terminology inconsistencies, style drift, and pattern errors across large volumes. Every AI-flagged issue is then verified and corrected by a human linguist, combining the speed of AI with the nuance of human expertise.
