Proofreading
Proofreading is a simple, but effective, means of ensuring that the finished article meets all your requirements in terms of accuracy, quality and formatting.
This 'final' step involves the editing of work after it has been typeset. It provides an opportunity to see the text in its published format and any errors or inconsistencies can be rectified quickly before it is too late.
Our clients include:
- BBC (Annual Report and Accounts)
- Welsh Government
- Cadw
- Principality
- Alcohol Concern.
Prysg has a team of editors who undertake this aspect of our work. As well as proofreading Welsh copy, we can also proofread your English copy so that both languages reach the highest standard possible. This service can be provided regardless of whether we translated the original documents or not.
Project
Training on Translation Memory Software Déjà Vu X (DVX)
What we did
Prysg's DVX Training Co-ordinator held a series of DVX Training Workshops for the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service. The training was delivered through the medium of Welsh at the Service's Headquarters. An introductory meeting was held to discuss the use of Déjà Vu X and training expectations, so that the workshops could be tailored to meet the client's exact requirements. From our own experience, and from customer feedback, we believe that ‘bite-size' training is preferable, so three workshops were held over a period of a few months to allow officers to put into practice what had been learnt and raise any queries in the next workshop. The training was interactive and practical and was structured so as to allow plenty of time for questions.
As well as internal DVX training, the DVX Training Co-ordinator has also provided initial and refresher/advanced training for officers from the Welsh Government's Translation Unit and the Food Standards Agency, has held advisory meetings with officers from the Welsh Government and WJEC and has taken part in a panel discussion on translation memory software in a one-day conference jointly arranged by Swansea University and Bangor University.
