Translations & Editing
Quest 4 Words Language Services provides translations between the following languages English/Dutch/German.
Other languages are also possible in consultation through collaboration with other fellow translators.
Important considerations for both translations and proofreading/editing/correcting texts by Quest 4 Words:
-
Clear and correct language use/word choice
-
Correct application of the leading terminology and/or our own style guides or terminology lists
-
The target audience, culture and customs of the country
-
Punctuation/layout/formatting
-
Thinking along with the client: making suggestions for possible improvements and, when things/facts do not seem to be correct, checking them using other sources
-
Every text is proofread by a second translator/proofreader
-
If desired, a feedback round for the client follows after delivery
-
However, rewriting the content of the texts falls under copywriting
