making revisions Explanation: redigieren means to revise... I imagine that someone who revises a text makes greater changes - concerning structure and content than an editor... Duden ... durch Bestimmung von Inhalt u. Form, Auswahl u. Bearbeitung der Beiträge gestalten. The editors I know, however, seem to do their fair share of redigieren... Lektors prepare a text for publication. Redigieren makes me think of newspapers... preparing a text for the press... hope this helps somewhat -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-11 09:32:51 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- hi::: found this editor A person who prepares for publication the work(s) of one or more authors.
