Correction, consistency, tone and flow: a full pass over an existing English or French text so it holds up in front of its real audience.
A text can be accurate and still tiring to read. This service takes an existing translation or draft, corrects the errors, unifies terminology and restores the rhythm, without changing what it sets out to say.
A translation inherited from a previous supplier, English copy written by a non-native team, a site whose pages were written by several hands months apart, documentation whose terminology drifted across versions.
A straight review corrects and smooths without touching the structure. Adaptation allows rewriting passages that do not work for the intended reader. The level is agreed beforehand from a sample, so there are no surprises in either direction.
Reviewing your own text, or one written by a team that shares your habits, lets through whatever feels obvious to you. An outside reader reads what is on the page rather than what was intended — which is exactly your reader's experience.
“We never reread what we wrote — only what we meant to write.”
