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.

Certified/sworn translations

These are translations of documents intended for communication with authorities and state institutions in the Czech Republic and abroad and for corporate activities in international trade.

Formats of certified translations

      • Documentary form (paper)
      • Electronic form

Certified translations are done by court translators appointed in accordance with Act No. 354/2019 Coll., on Court Interpreters and Court Translators.

A document bearing the sworn translator’s clause meets the requirements of state authorities for official acts.

 

Listinný soudní překlad

Překlad je pevně svázán s originálem nebo notářsky ověřenou kopií a soudní doložkou, opatřenou kulatým razítkem a podpisem soudního překladatele

Elektronický soudní překlad

Elektronický soudní překlad je plnohodnotnou alternativou ke klasickému soudnímu překladu v listinné podobě se stejnou možností použití a stejnými právy. Je vyhotovený ve formátu PDF/A a je opatřený kvalifikovaným elektronickým podpisem překladatele s časovým razítkem.
Velkou výhodou elektronického soudního překladu je rychlost jeho vyhotovení a dodání – vše lze řešit e-mailem.

A document bearing the sworn translator’s clause meets the requirements of state authorities for official acts.

 

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.

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.

Why Choose a Translation Agency

Ikona 1 Access to the latest translation systems. Access to the latest translation systems.
Ikona 2 Maximum data security. Your data will not be accessible to third parties and will not be used to train public MT systems. We ensure strict GDPR compliance and the protection of confidential information.
Ikona 3 Unlimited translation volume – translate as much text as you need without limits.
Ikona 4 Terminology consistency and use of translation memory. Your company’s specialized terminology and translation memory are integrated into the system (the effect of combining MT + CAT tools).
Ikona 5 Quality assurance – professional post-editors perform a final review of the machine translation.

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

SW localisation

These are translations of software text segments where the length of the translated text is also taken into account along with local specifics. The translation process does not interfere with the software code, all initial features of the localised application remain unchanged.

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.

Delivery times are determined on a case-by-case basis. We are flexible in terms of time, and we always strive to meet our customer’s requirements.

Spěšný termín – Množství překládaného textu je větší než 8 NS/den

Expresní termín – Překlad zhotovený v den zadání nebo do 24 hodin.
