Flawless texts in every language
Three editing levels — light, medium or substantive — by native editors in 225+ languages. Track changes by default, PTR available for external or AI translations.
From light proofreading to in-depth substantive editing. You choose the level; we assign a native specialist who not only catches errors but reinforces your style and message. Every change tracked — you stay in control.
Our native editors command the target language from childhood and recognise errors that non-native speakers miss — from subtle word choice to sentence rhythm. We work with track changes so you can review every modification. Lead time is typically 1 to 2 business days for documents up to around 5,000 words; rush options are available for larger volumes or tight deadlines. The same craft also covers post-translation review (PTR) of external translations or AI output.
From English and German to Chinese and Japanese — the most-requested languages for academic, business and marketing editing.
You send us your document and choose an editing level: light proofreading (spelling, grammar, typography), editing (style and readability), or substantive editing (structure, content, consistency).
Your text is assigned to a native specialist in the language of the document with experience in your field: business, academic, technical or marketing content.
The editor works with track changes so you can see every modification. You retain control over the final result — accept or reject changes as you see fit.
For extensive editing assignments a second specialist runs a final review to ensure the text is consistent, coherent and error-free after editing.
You receive the edited text with track changes and an optional summary of the key changes. On request we discuss the choices made by phone or email.
Surface errors are easy to catch. Real quality lives in word choice, rhythm and register — exactly where native intuition counts. Our editors were born in the target language and have trained their eye for years on domain-specific content.
From quick proofreading to substantive editing — our native editors deliver the depth of work your text actually needs.
Every text is edited by a native speaker of the language in question — someone who has commanded the language from childhood and recognises subtle errors that non-native speakers miss.
From quick proofreading to in-depth substantive editing: you choose the level that matches your needs, budget and turnaround. Every level uses the same craft, with different depth.
PTR (post-translation review) — independent native quality control of existing translations on accuracy, style and readability. Ideal for external or AI-generated translations that still need a quality pass.
From English and German to Spanish and Chinese: we edit and proofread documents in more than 225 languages with specialised native editors.
Every editing assignment runs through the same fixed process — native editor, track changes and (for substantive editing) a second-reviewer check.
A selection of recently delivered editing and proofreading projects — from dissertations and annual reports to PTR on AI translations.
