Translation

I am able to receive your documents for translation on paper or in any of the following electronic formats: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher, plain text, RTF, HTML, SGML, XML, PDF, PageMaker, QuarkXPress, InDesign CS, and, through the use of filters provided by Trados, Ventura Publisher, FrameMaker, and Interleaf.

For documents submitted electronically, rest assured that the format of the text will not be altered unless absolutely necessary, as the translated text is always inserted by overwriting.

Editing

The main editorial tasks I commonly perform on English-language documents are as follows:

-  Project Editing

Coordinating and editing a project from proposal or rough manuscript to final manuscript, incorporating input from authors, consultants, or reviewers.

-  Substantive or Structural Editing

Clarifying or reorganizing a manuscript for content and structure.

-  Stylistic Editing

Clarifying meaning, eliminating jargon, polishing language, and other non-mechanical line-by-line editing. Drawing the attention of the client to unclear or ambiguous passages in the text.

-  Checking of facts, citations, or references

-  Copy Editing

Editing for grammar, usage, spelling, punctuation, and other mechanics of style. Checking for consistency of presentation and for internal consistency of facts and terminology.
