Translation editing

Translation editing

Careful review to refine every message

Translation editing compares a translation with its source to identify mistranslations, omissions and inconsistent terminology. TanViet helps refine existing translations according to their intended use and the agreed review scope.

Scope of translation editing

01

Content comparison

Check meaning, omitted sentences, added information and correspondence with the source.

02

Terminology and proper names

Standardize names of products, organizations, people and places, and specialist terminology.

03

Language and tone

Correct grammar, spelling, expression and formality to suit the reader.

04

Figures and formatting

Review dates, units, tables, headings and presentation rules.

Reviewing and comparing project documents

Understand the extent of revisions before starting

Each translation has a different quality level and refinement needs. We review the source alongside the translation, discuss the intended use and determine which parts need comparison, editing or retranslation. This makes the scope and cost clear from the outset.

For specialist documents, glossaries and previously approved translations provide useful references. Questions requiring decisions about the source content are listed separately for customer confirmation, avoiding changes to information simply because the wording is unclear.

Deliverables agreed from the outset

  • A translation revised within the approved scope
  • A marked-up version or comment table when requested
  • A list of terminology and content still requiring confirmation

What to prepare

  • Matching versions of the source and translation
  • Desired tone, readership and formatting requirements
  • Reference materials or terminology already in use

Clearer information makes it easier to establish the approach and delivery schedule. Any missing details will be discussed before work begins.

Frequently asked questions

Do you edit translations produced by AI or software?

Automatically generated translations can be reviewed if the source is available for comparison. Error levels and the amount of retranslation needed are assessed before the scope is confirmed.

Can you correct only the Vietnamese language?

Language editing can be provided on request. Without a source, the scope focuses on expression and presentation and does not include confirming accuracy against the original document.

Can you deliver a version showing changes?

We can deliver a tracked-changes version or comment table if the file format supports it. Please state this requirement when sending your documents.

What factors determine the quote?

The cost depends on volume, language pair, specialist complexity, formatting and deadline. TanViet reviews documents before confirming a quote; additional items are clearly discussed as part of the scope.
