Does proofreading mean better translation quality?
Proofreading is a review of the text, which involves a check of grammar in terms of any errors. Its task is also to adapt the text to local customs, standards and vocabulary. This does not improve the quality of the translation, but may be important for the material to be received by the end audience in an easier way.
When is proofreading particularly recommended?
Proofreading is actually essential for business and scientific texts. In the case of business texts, it usually refers to websites, marketing materials, etc. The review of scientific papers involves checking the linguistic correctness of a text prepared for publication in international sources. Revisions and adjustments are made by academic experts in a specific field, such as medicine, physics, etc., for whom the language of translation is their mother tongue.

Videoconference interpreting
What platforms do you support?
Whatever platform you want to use for your video call, we will help you with translation. In doing so, we prefer solutions that are suitable for translation work and allow the use of the simultaneous method.
Do I need to have any technical knowledge?
You do not need to have any technical knowledge as long as you choose to use our preferred communication platform. We will then be able to configure the tool to translate the conversation using the simultaneous method.
What will the translation process look like?
The process varies depending on the platform on which the video call will be conducted. If simultaneous interpreting is not possible, we will apply the consecutive method. It involves presenting a piece of speech and interrupting it for the time needed for translation.
In doing so, we prefer to work on tools that provide simultaneous interpretation. With their help, the whole process is as follows:
– The interpreter works exclusively in one language pair – e.g. English – German.
– When the English-speaker speaks, the interpreter translates into German on the fly.
– The German-speaking participant hears the speech in two languages: English source at 30% volume, translation into German at 70% volume.
This makes the conversation smooth conversation and uninterrupted. As a result, the video call flows naturally.
