Multilingual Proofreading Services

We provide professional translation with thorough proofreading and quality checks to make sure your message is clear, accurate, and ready to use.

We’re committed to providing quality translations every time, which is why we have a very stringent proofing process and five pre-delivery checking options for you to choose from.

When it comes to creating a document, putting your ideas and desires onto paper is only the first step. It’s essential to strike the right tone, communicate efficiently and ensure that what you’re trying to say is understood.

Our proofreading team is able to help you express exactly what you want to say in any language, so you can be safe in the knowledge that whoever reads your document knows precisely what you’re trying to say.

As part of our standard translation offering, prior to delivery, we always carry out translation checks against the original to ensure the text is consistent and complete.

We translate into over 50 languages

Working in more than 50 languages and supporting clients across diverse export markets, we can deliver your key messages in the languages that matter most. From major global industries to niche sectors, we ensure your brand resonates across borders—clearly, consistently, and confidently.

Our Pre-delivery Options

Checking: We check the translation against the original to ensure it’s complete and any additional requirements (tables, figures, footnotes etc) are included. Other checks include client preferred terminology, grammar and formatting.
Proof-reading by an independent linguist: We work with independent linguists who are qualified and experienced in various sectors. They will meticulously compare the translation with the original to ensure consistency of terminology, accuracy, appropriate tone and register, while also removing and correcting any grammatical and typographical errors.
Back translation: This is commonly used for medical or pharmaceutical documents to ensure the document can be translated back into its original language and retain the essential information.
Pre-publication checking: This is the final check that looks for errors introduced during the typesetting process.
Domain experts: If you have your own “domain expert”, such as an overseas subsidiary, local office, agent, or marketing specialist, we urge you to proof the content with them before sign off.

Interesting Facts

Video transcription is a specialist skill as the transcriber must also consider the length of time it’ll take for a viewer to read each subtitle. Transcription should not be overlooked as it’s vital for viewers who have trouble with accent recognition, hearing and those who cannot understand the spoken language.

We usually speak around 160 to 170 words per minute. A professional transcriber will reach speeds of about 85 to 100 words per minute.

10 to 15 minutes of speech takes one hour to transcribe. Therefore, a 1-hour recording with clear audio will take between 4 and 6 hours to transcribe.

Transcribing your videos and posting the text on your website will help your SEO.

Transcribing your promo video and providing multilingual subtitles ensures your video can be used for maximum exposure.

Many people are visual learners, but text is always a helpful learning supplement. As such, accurate video transcriptions can enhance a viewer’s experience by providing a full-text account of the information being presented. In some instances, it is also necessary to have a written record of a live event.
