Editor reads and compare the target document sentence by sentence with the source document
The ALS service team matches the true professional editors with expertise in your industry.
The most distinctive feature of full translation service is the role and contribution of an independent editor.
Editor's responsibility is to:
-
to check the translation for accuracy/correct interpretation of terms and make sure the content is the same,
-
to check macrostructure (intended audience of the source and target texts) and microstructure (level of speech),
-
to check for completeness, consistency in formatting, etc.,
-
to check non-verbal elements (illustrations, graphics, etc.

Human Review
We adopt in principle that independent human corrections of a translation will serve as a mechanism to provide increased linguistic quality of the translated text.
Machine Review
We also use complementary verification tools and software programmes for machine corrections like Xbench or some QA plug-ins built in CAT Tools (verifiers). Such QA modules help to detect some significant quality problems which sometimes might be very time consuming for human reviewers.
For example, spell-check, double blank check, source same as target check, num-check, inconsistencies check, terminology check, empty or forgotten translation checks and so on.
