the other side of the story..... Jul 3, 2007

That is really all I need to be able to decide what is right or wrong in this case.

If I could only get my hands on the revised copy things would be a heck of a lot easier!

As I said before , I am willing to accept that I screwed up but not before I have a copy of the translation sent to the final client.

If I get a revised copy which is more or less the same as mine I will ask a fellow translator to have a look and judge.

Have you tried running a spell check on your translation? Jul 3, 2007

Unless they're all "there/their"-type errors, the spellchecker will pick up at least some of any spelling mistakes you've made and so you'll have an objective basis to establish whether one of their claims is correct or not.
