Mini FAQ
Questions?
How do you calculate your rates?
Every project is unique, so it’s difficult to offer a standard rate without having first analysed the document.
Rates vary according to several factors: the source language, whether and to what extent the text is specialised, and even the text layout.
What’s the difference between editing and post-editing?
Editing puts the finishing touches on a professional translation by tracking down mistakes and improving the flow. Post-editing reworks a machine translation by correcting errors, adapting the style, and making sure the machine-translated text is true to the original.
What kind of documents do you edit?
I’m specialised in marketing and communications, business, and technical editing.
Which file types do you accept?
I mainly work in editable files such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. While I can convert PDFs, doing so can cause slight variations to the layout.
