PROOFREADING IN FRENCH, SPANISH, PORTUGUESE

Proofreading means checking a typeset version of a document against the original manuscript to ensure that the typeset version contains everything in good order. The proofreader makes virtually no changes to the text itself.

EDITING IN FRENCH, SPANISH, PORTUGUESE

Editing means improving a text so that it puts the writer’s message across in the best way. Editors have to determine what the writer is trying to say, how he or she is saying it, whether the message is clear and the arguments are logical, whether the language and style are consistent and appropriate, and even whether the text is well-structured and flows properly.

INTERPRETING IN FRENCH, PORTUGUESE, SPANISH

The oral translation is interpreting. There are two modes of interpreting : simultaneous and consecutive.

• Simultaneous interpreting :
  Simultaneous interpreters translate at the same time as the speaker speaks (conferences)

• Consecutive interpreting :
  Consecutive interpreters wait for a speaker to stop talking before they give the translation, and the speaker waits until the interpreter is finished before continuing. A special type of consecutive interpreting is liaison interpreting (also called community interpreting or dialogue interpreting). Here the interpreter facilitates a conversation between two people.

  Important : we do not provide equipment for interpretation
