Languages I would like to learn:
There are many, but most of all I would like to improve my
proficiency in the languages I already have a grounding
in: French and Italian.
Favourite quotation:
“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa
Accuracy is the key
As a proofreader I read the translations from our translators before
they are delivered to the client, to make sure they maintain a high
standard. This involves checking that terminology, grammar and
punctuation are used consistently and accurately throughout the text.
During proofreading I also make sure that numbers have been
transferred correctly to the translation. Every little detail in a text
is important and accuracy is the key. Being able to review different
languages and types of text each day is a fascinating challenge
that suits my curiosity and interest in languages.
