Second stage in Wordbank's standard four-stage localization process. Involves amending the translated text where necessary so that it flows as if originally written in the language and does not repeat word for word everything that the English says, while ensuring that the general meaning is retained and that no important data is omitted. Editors also ensure consistency of the text with any reference material provided, correct any incorrect grammar, spelling and punctuation, and ensure that product names, product numbers etc. are consistent with the source text.

Detection of errors in text records or spatial database features and the implementation of the needed correction.

Usually described according to rhythm or pace (ie the varying lengths of the shots in the sequence) and type of transition (eg cut, fade, dissolve or mix, wipe). A montage sequence is a series of shots which summarise an action or build a mood, rather than playing it out in the equivalent of real time.

The process in which data is examined, created, and modified. In video, the part of the postproduction process in which the finished videotape is derived from raw video footage. Animation is a subset of editing.

Freelance translator | Glossary | Human translation I, J, K, L

A thorough editing of your source text is one of the factors that can help to improve a translation. Above all: Make sure your source text is clear and at the appropriate reading level. A translator cannot change your original; all he or she can do is translate it into its equivalent language. Remember: Garbage in, garbage out. Avoid culture-specific metaphors and figures of speech. Spare your translator the task of searching for equivalent language to "step up to the plate", "easy as pie", and "good egg." Eliminate all word puns. Words do not translate; thoughts do. I'll never forget the man who wanted to export industrial refrigeration equipment to South America and couldn't understand why his logo with a polar bear and the words, "Bear us in mind for your refrigeration needs," just wouldn't translate.

This means reading intensively to check that a piece of writing is accurate.

Carefully checking for any mistakes you made.
