Translation, aside from dealing with source and target languages, involves a lot of writing. And speaking of writing, it cannot be helped that there will be some typo errors, grammatical errors and other writing errors that can happen. That is all right, since these errors can be remedied through editing and proofreading. While editing and proofreading your work require patience and test your writing skills, these are necessary to prevent mistakes. The latter processes ensure that the final translation you deliver to your client is of the highest quality and proof of your skills as a top-caliber translator.

The two tasks, proofreading and editing, are both crucial in coming up with high quality translation work. Editing comes before proofreading. Editing is focused on the construction of the content. Proofreading is concentrated on the language, layout and the details of the content. It is concerned with spelling, typography, grammar, use of language, punctuation, and format and style.
