Revision may also require reducing

Post by muniyaakter »

Pre-edition
This is the process of preparing the text before its translation by a machine or semi-automatic translation system (see machine translation and translation memory). A person prepares the document so that the text to be translated can be modified in order to simplify the future post-editing process (see above). This may involve deleting or adapting sentences, but above all reviewing the format of the text and its layout.

Price per word / PPW
PPW (“price per word”) refers to the translator’s rate per word. It is one of the crucial elements that influence the price of the translation . A French-speaking translator may not use this acronym.

When the translator sets his price per word, he must explicitly northern mariana island business email list announce whether these are the words of the source text or the target text. The price per word can vary depending on the target language, for example the rates for Germanic languages ​​are often higher due to their syntactic construction and the scarcity of translators specialized in these languages ​​on the market.

This rate also varies depending on the size of the document; for example, there will be reduced rates for requests exceeding 10,000 words, and conversely, higher rates for translations of only a few sentences (in this specific case, a rate that is not based on the number of words may be applied).

Proofreading/Editing
This is the process of almost final revision of a text in its target language. This includes checking spelling, grammar, punctuation, terminology, register, style, etc. and may require reworking the text (to ensure its adequacy with graphics, illustrations, etc.).enlarging the text to meet space requirements.
