What Is Editing, Proofreading And Post-Insertion Review Really All About?
Editing, Proofreading, and Post-Insertion Review These three revision processes differ slightly from each other. Editing Editing involves reviewing the content, overall structure, clarity and style of a document. It is the first step following the translation. It consists of rewriting the translation while taking into account the meaning, tone and style of the original text, as well as keeping the target audience in mind during the rewriting process. The translation should read fluently and not sound like a translation. It is important that it sounds natural to a native speaker. The editing process is time-consuming, and can sometimes take as long as the actual process of translating. The editing must be done by a different translator than the one that has done the translation. This is because the second translator will be more objective during their editing process. Proofreading Proofreading goes hand in hand with the editing process. The proofreading process is about checking the punctuation, grammar and spelling of the document. It implies making smaller changes in the translation, for example, making sure that the tenses used are consistent, or that the formatting of the translated text matches the original. A spell check or grammar check function is used to catch any inconsistencies. Post-Insertion Review The post insertion review process involves reviewing the translation after the desktop publishing (DTP) process. In order to do this, the translator must compare the original source text, translation and design file with the translation inserted into a graphic format (i.e. brochure). The translator has to make sure that the translation has been copied to the right place on the page and that... read moreNecessity of Translation in Vancouver Schools
Translation in Vancouver Schools It is evident that there are an increasing number of children in schools in Vancouver that don’t speak English. Over the years, non-native English speakers have increased in numbers throughout the school boards, and are having a tough time coping with the lack of translation services available in their schooling. The District Panel Advisory Committee has been asked for help numerous times by parents as the population of minority groups has grown at a rapid pace. Recent studies have shown that in some schools in Vancouver as many as 40% of the students need ESL support! Some of the more common languages spoken by the children like Mandarin and Cantonese receive a decent amount of help; however, the rarer languages with obscure dialects are often neglected and the child is essentially helpless. The School Board is recommending that parents contact their principal in order to arrange for third party services to offer translation in Vancouver schools offered at the expense of the administration. This would not only solve the issue at hand, but would also help more foreign students reach their full potential via their schooling and education. Procuring the services of a professional language services agency would definitely be a step in the right direction to ensure that all students are receiving the help they need in their education. Here at LingoStar, we have countless qualified native speakers and interpreters located all across Canada for any type of job, and we can provide language services in over 100 languages as well as English.

Professional translators. As the years have progressed we have experienced an influx of people residing in other countries and continents travelling to settle down and live in Canada for the duration of their lives. With our bountiful resources and employment opportunities it is a great place to live, and as a result, has attracted settlers from all over the globe. Consequently, many areas in Canada are becoming more diverse and multi-cultural, with more languages than just English and French being spoken on a regular basis. Those of Asian descent now comprise a large portion of the Canadian population, and it is evident that there is a communication barrier between some of them and the English native speakers. It is highly advised that corporations start looking for professional translation services and professional translators to begin translating advertisements to Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc. to appeal to this large market that many times is completely left untapped. It is evident that some companies have already started adopting these marketing strategies, and it has proven advantageous for them by allowing their message to reach a more widespread audience. Things like having professional translators to provide menus for Punjabi restaurants, translating websites into Simplified/Traditional Chinese, or even having bilingual tutors available at schools are just a few examples of services that could be taken advantage of in specific situations to optimally provide services to the non-native English speakers that comprise large portions of Canada’s diverse cities.
