Revisers: Invisible But Important

Professional translators must know how to revise, both to clean up our work before delivery and to provide this service to others. We cannot catch all our own mistakes, so revisers are as important to translators as editors are to authors. Language service companies know that revision is their most powerful QA (quality assurance) tool for delivering a translation that is as close to perfect as possible.

Join us for this 60-minute webinar to learn about the three types of revision, the limits of self-revision, and strategies for pricing and performing this crucial value-adding step in the translation project.

The presentation will be structured to accommodate at least 30 minutes of questions and answers, submitted ahead of time and during the presentation. Registered attendees may email their advance questions to hine@scriptorservices.com.
