Lost in translation III – importance of proofreading

This picture from a story in the UK’s Daily Mirror shows why it is vitally important as a translator to proofread your work.

As an aside, all the translations done by Heppe-Smith Technical Translation are proofread by the translator and quality checked by the project manager.

As an option, a second native speaker translator can be tasked to proofread important documents. Click here for a free, no-obligation quotation!
