About this service
We edit a text that has already been translated so it reads as if it were written in that language: calques and word-for-word phrasing are replaced, word order and idioms are made natural, and terminology is made consistent. If you paste the original as well, we check the translation against it from Standard up, so smoother wording never comes at the cost of meaning.
What is included
- What you getThe polished text, a list of changes with the reason for each kind of edit and, from Standard, notes on any meaning differences from the original.

What we need from you
The translated text, its language and target country, the original if you have it and what the text is for.
We will ask you:
- What language is the translation in, and for which country?
- What language was the original?
- What is the text for?
- Are there terms that must stay as they are?

Questions and answers
Do I need the original?
For Basic, no: we polish the language. From Standard, the original lets us make sure nothing was mistranslated.
Will the meaning change?
No. We change how things are said, not what is said. Where the translation seems wrong, we flag it.
Can I ask for changes?
Yes, within the revisions of your package.
