Proofreading services in Singapore and South Asia

Don’t risk your reputation on a poorly translated document. Our proofreading services in Singapore are used by businesses in every industry. Whenever a company needs to know its translated content is natural, fluent, and consistent.

Your document will be checked for obvious errors. Things like grammar and typography. But it will also be analysed for elements such as style, consistency, tone, and readability.

To this end, we also offer full editing and proofreading services. These enable you to bring your translated document up to the highest standards of quality. They include a full comparison of your source and target documents, checking for accuracy and consistency in tone, and much more.

Proofreading services for every sector in Singapore

Legal and financial documents are some of the most common targets for our proofreading services in Singapore. This is because these documents often contain precise terminology – meaning they need to be translated, edited, and proofread by a legal professional.

That’s exactly the kind of expert proofreader we will assign to your project. Whatever industry you are in, we match your project with a linguist who has five years experience and/or Masters’s degree-level qualifications in your field, be it:

 

  • e-Commerce
  • Gaming
  • Insurance
  • Travel and Tourism
  • Automotive
  • Manufacturing
  • Engineering
  • Electronics
  • Life Sciences
  • Banking and Finance
  • Makreting and PR
  • Legal

Proofreading includes checks for all kinds of errors

The proofreading services you get from us will see your entire target document being checked for errors which might include:

  • Fluency-related issues
  • Readability
  • Inappropriate cultural references
  • Typographical errors
  • Grammatical errors

Your proofreader will also be able to provide recommendations for how to improve the text if required.

Include editing in your service

The ideal make-up of your translation service should be TEP – Translation, Editing, and Proofreading. That’s the way we prefer to deliver all of our services.

However, if you’ve had a document only quickly translated elsewhere, our editors can compare your source and newly produced target documents. They will check elements such as:

 

  • Accuracy of translation
  • Stylistic consistency (internally and across projects)
  • Consistency of terminology
  • Consistency of tone
  • Localisation issues (such as inappropriate translation of cultural references)

We proofread and edit documents from any source

If you are looking into this service, you have probably already had your document translated elsewhere.

We regularly proofread and edit:

 

  • Documents translated internally
  • Documents translated by other Language Service Providers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a difference between editing and proofreading?

Yes. Editing improves the quality of writing. An editor checks for consistency, tone, voice, unnecessary words, clear expression and the like. An editor’s goal is to boost your text’s impact.

Proofreading involves the final checks which ensure a document is ready for publication. This will include checks for consistency of language use and formatting as well as for grammar, punctuation and spelling errors. Generally, it looks at aspects which perfect writing of an already high standard.

What comes first – editing or proofreading?

Proofreading should always be the last thing which happens before a document is published.

Editing can involve both small and large changes to the text. This means that the final checks for things like grammar and spelling, correctly gendered words in many languages and the many other critical tasks which proofreading accomplishes should happen after the editing process is complete.

Why are editing and proofreading important?

Even the most skilled writers and editors can be blind to their own errors. The brain often “fills in the gaps” when it comes to things like spelling, sentence construction, tone, punctuation and so on.

This makes it vital to get a second – and preferably third – set of eyes to look at any text.

A skilled editor will work on the clarity, phrasing, tone and other elements which give the text impact. Following this, a professional proofreader ensures the text is complete, correct and error-free.
