- Proofreading
Are you looking for
an experienced proofreader
of technical texts?
Do you need a proofreader who both ensures correct language and at the same time has the right technical insight to get the technical words and details translated correctly?
Then you have come to the right place because I am one of the few translators and proofreaders who deals exclusively with technical texts. Therefore, I know, among other things when it is called “fitting” instead of “installation”. The very details that support you being specialists in the field, which make customers feel comfortable shopping with you.
For specialised companies, proofreading is crucial for three reasons:
- The correct language shows that you focus on the details.
- Using an external proofreader confirms that you know where your core skills are.
- Imprecise language obscures your speciality, and therefore you run the risk that your skills and experience do not appear as razor-sharp as possible. Sometimes it is the tiny details that detract from the profile.
My clients know that. Therefore, I can focus on English Danish translations and proofreading – exclusively dealing with technical texts.
My clients are primarily technical companies or translation agencies, advertising agencies, web agencies and independent copywriters with clients in the technology industry.
Often the jobs relate to marketing texts for websites, newsletters or press releases, where the reader does not necessarily have the same technical knowledge as the sender. The jobs could also relate to the extremely heavy, technical texts such as instruction manuals and documentation, where the reader also has a technical background.
Many forms of professional proofreading
Satisfied, repeat clients are the foundation of my business. That is why I adapt my working method to your needs
Therefore, you can choose between
Classic proofreading
– where I correct errors in the language, spelling, grammar, and commas.
Text editing
– where, in addition to correcting errors, I also tweak the language and content to avoid unnecessary repetition or inaccurate formulations.
Post editing
– where I correct errors in Danish texts translated from English via Google Translate, which safeguards you from the classic mistakes that often occur with machine translations.
In this way, you avoid paying for more than you need, while keeping your texts specialised and professional and supporting your company’s credibility.
Fixed procedure for proofreading jobs
To ensure excellent collaboration, I typically work in this order:
*Although it is in everyone’s interest that jobs are planned well in advance, we all know that a new version of the text can emerge at the last minute. That is why I plan my working day so that I also can do small, urgent jobs when they arise. The delivery time for other jobs is usually less than a week or what we agree.
