Translation
Do you have a text in a source language that needs to be translated into another language? You are at the right place.
What is translation?
Translation is the process of translating words or text from one language into another. Although this sounds quite straightforward, the opposite is true. The translation process entails many different aspects that need to be considered and investigated thoroughly. A translator is often faced with a list of decisions to make such as “Who is the target audience of a text? Do I use American or British spelling (in case of a translation into English)?” or “Which equivalent will I use for a culture-bound expression?”
Why do I need a professional translator?
Are you one of the people that wonders why they should hire a translator instead of using a free machine translation? Even though machine translation, such as Google Translate, is becoming more accurate every day and can be used to support a translation process, it cannot be considered a reliable source for a translation. Machine translation does not have the capacity to interpret language and text, which means it is not capable of, for example, identifying the culture-bound expressions as discussed earlier. This shortcoming often results in literal translations that do not really make sense. Therefore, human intervention when translating is still essential.

Revision
Do you have a text, self-composed or already translated, that needs to be revised by a language professional?
What is revision?
Revision is the act of reviewing a text. You can opt for a revision if spelling, grammar, style and/or consistency need to be checked. What do I do when revising a text? If you wrote a new text yourself, I will check spelling, grammar, style and consistency. If you have a translated text, I will also need the source text to check the translation accuracy and make sure all translations fit into the right context so the translation contains the same message and connotation as the original text.
