Translation creates a target text; revision checks an existing one within an agreed scope. A substantially incomplete or untraceable draft may require retranslation rather than a standard proofreading allowance.

Control quality with clear sources and traceable feedback

Define completeness, consistent terminology, source-accurate figures and suitable formatting. Choose a terminology approver and consolidate comments. When preferences conflict, return to context and references before making global replacements. Track changes by version so the final deliverable does not mix superseded choices.

Preparation checklist

  • Approved sources and file inventory.
  • Terms, names and protected content.
  • Acceptance criteria and content approver.
  • Feedback with location, reason and resolution status.
Meeting participants review documents on a table.

Illustrative scenario

A machine-translated instruction table contains wrong component codes. A sample assessment establishes how much must be redone and how codes will be checked against the source.

Frequently asked question

Should a large project start with a sample?

A representative sample can establish terminology and style. Choose real complexity rather than only the easiest page.
