Texts translated by others or written in a foreign language reviewed by native speakers. Grammar, style, consistency and fluency.

SERVICE

What is professional revision?

Professional editing and proofreading involves the systematic review of a text to identify and correct grammatical, spelling, syntactic, and stylistic errors. It goes beyond simple typo correction: the editor enhances text flow, terminology consistency, register, and tone, while preserving the original message.

Polyline Translations provides editing and proofreading services for third-party translations, texts written directly in a foreign language, and content generated by machine translation systems. Every project is assigned to native-speaking editors with industry-specific expertise.

Machine translation output (DeepL, Google Translate) needing professional quality standards (see MT Post-Editing)
Corporate documents, contracts, and official foreign-language communications
Articles, publications, and editorial content
Marketing collateral and corporate presentations
Theses, academic research papers, and scientific documents

Types of Editing & Review Services

Linguistic Review

Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and syntax checking. Ideal for well-written texts that require a final check prior to publication.

Stylistic Editing

Enhancements to register, tone, terminology consistency, and overall flow. Core messaging remains unchanged while making the text read naturally and appropriately for the target audience.

Comprehensive Review

A combined linguistic and stylistic review. Recommended for third-party translations or foreign-language content drafted by non-native speakers.

Proofreading

A final reading of an already revised text to catch typos, residual errors, and formatting inconsistencies. It serves as the final QA check before printing or going live.
