Proofreading
We provide the following proofreading services:
- Standard proofreading
- Stylistic editing
- Subject-matter expert (SME) proofreading
- Proofreading by native speakers
- Post-DPT proofreading
Proofreading is particularly advisable for documents that will be presented publicly in some form.
We would be happy to recommend the appropriate type of proofreading depending on the type and purpose of your text.
Types of proofreading services
Standard proofreading
Standard proofreading is basic linguistic proofreading. It focuses primarily on spelling, grammar,
punctuation and typos.
Stylistic editing
Stylistic editing focuses mainly on readability, comprehensibility, correct choice of means of
expression and clarity of the translated text.
Subject-matter expert (SME) proofreading
Subject-matter expert (SME) proofreading focuses on checking the factual/specialised accuracy of
the translated text and the use of specific terminology commonly used in the field. A glossary created
in cooperation with the customer is used.
Post-DPT proofreading
Post-DPT proofreading is the final revision of a translated document before it is printed or published.
In particular, the document is checked for completeness, order of pages, chapters, correct placement
of figures and legends, text wrapping, etc.

Listinný soudní překlad

Certified translation in documentary form
The translation is firmly attached to the original or a certified copy and the court translator’s clause
and bears the translator’s seal and signature.
Electronic certified translation
Electronic certified translation is a full-fledged alternative to the traditional certified translation in
paper form with the same validity and authority. It is issued in PDF/A format and bears the court
translator’s qualified electronic signature with a time stamp.
The main advantage of electronic certified translations is the speed of its preparation and delivery –
everything can be handled via email.
Machine Translation
Machine Translation (MT) is a fully automated process that uses advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to translate text from one language into another. It represents a rapidly developing alternative to traditional translation performed by a human translator.
Machine Translation with Post-Editing (MTPE)
The text is first translated by a modern machine translation system and then reviewed and edited by a language specialist – a post-editor.
The quality of MTPE is fully comparable to that of a translation produced by a human translator.
Your benefits:
- Cost savings – up to 30 % compared to traditional translation,
- Faster delivery – turnaround time shortened by 20–40 %,
- Quality assurance – machine translation is reviewed by a post-editor.
MTPE is particularly suitable for the translation of documents such as:
- Technical documentation – manuals, operating instructions, user guides, service manuals, safety data sheets, etc.,
- Legal texts,
- General, standardized, and regulated texts.
MT is not suitable for the translation of creative or stylistically demanding texts.
If you are unsure whether your text is suitable for machine translation, contact us – we will analyse it and recommend the best solution.
Machine Translation Process
Post-Editing – The Key to Perfect Machine Translation
Post-editing is an essential process in which a human translator/post-editor reviews and adjusts the machine-translated text.
Types of post-editing:
Light post-editing
- The output is factually correct and understandable to the user.
- Style and consistency of corporate terminology are not addressed.
- The text is primarily intended for internal use.
Full post-editing
- A higher level of intervention by the translator/post-editor.
- A higher level of intervention by the translator/post-editor.
- The translated text is appropriately styled and consistent with corporate terminology.
- Suitable for external use.

Localisation
Localisation is a process in which, in addition to the translation of the text from one language into another, the specifics and customs of the target country and/or target group are also taken into account.
Localisation is mainly used for:
-
- specialised terminology
- units of measure
- date and time formats
- local language, cultural and other specifics

CAT technologies
We use modern translation technologies
called CAT (Computer Aided Translation) tools in our translations. It is a sophisticated software designed for professional translators. The basic elements of the system include a translation memory, a glossary (termbase) and a quality assurance module.
The application of this software has the following benefits:
- improved quality – higher accuracy of translations, including consistent terminology in all translated texts
- increased work efficiency – shorter delivery times
- significant price reduction
Překladová paměť
Při překladech prováděných s využitím CAT nástrojů je vytvářena překladová paměť, do níž jsou ve formě „zdrojový text-přeložený text“ průběžně ukládány veškeré překládané texty. Vyskytne-li se v nově překládaném textu shodný text, a to doslovně nebo s menšími obměnami, je z překladové paměti překladateli automaticky nabídnuto předchozí znění překladu.
Překladovou paměť lze vytvořit i z dříve přeložených texů, jejichž překlad byl vyhotoven bez použití CAT nástrojů.
Mimo snížení ceny překladu (za texty shodné s překladovou pamětí je poskytována sleva až do výše 70 %) je v kombinaci
s terminologickým slovníkem zajištěná rovněž terminologická konzistence všech překládaných dokumentů pro danou společnost.
Terminologické slovníky
Pro stálé zákazníky a u rozsáhlejších či technicky náročnějších překladů vytváříme terminologické slovníky zohledňující specifika názvosloví používaného v příslušném oboru či přímo v dané firmě.
Slovník odborné terminologie může být vytvořen buď z již existující firemní databáze, nebo, ve spolupráci s odborníky zákazníka, vytvoříme slovník nový. Terminologický slovník je v průběhu spolupráce kontinuálně doplňován dalšími výrazy.

Our translators
We cooperate regularly with about 1,500 translators with different fields of expertise.
All of our translators have a degree in linguistics, university or secondary school education in the fields of technology, IT, law or economics and several years of translation experience.
The translators’ competence is tested during the initial audit in the form of a comprehensive evaluation of a test translation and a thorough check of their first several translations.
The quality of the translations is continuously monitored, including the way the translator communicates with the agency and the client, compliance with the instructions given by the agency, and meeting deadlines.
