Proofreading

For text finalisation, we offer two services: a lighter proofreading and a more thorough language checking.

Proofreading involves checking the text for correct spelling and grammar. It is a suitable option when your text is generally fluent and does not require major revisions in sentence structure or word choice, for example.

 

In proofreading, we correct

  • typos

  • punctuation

  • compound words

  • abbreviations

Language checking

Language checking goes beyond surface-level checks, including thorough proofreading of spelling, grammar, and typos while also enhancing the text’s clarity and readability.

 

In addition to spelling, language checking focuses on

  • sentence structure

  • clause and sentence length

  • word choices

  • repetition

  • fluency and naturalness of the language

Make sure that your message reaches your audience as intended and let professionals finish your text.

Prices and terms of contract

The price of translations and language checking is based on the amount of text. Additionally, the schedule and language pair as well as the text’s content and complexity impact the final price. 

 

Send your request for a quote through the form or via email at info@elavakieli.fi. If possible, attach the text to be translated or provide the (estimated) number of words and characters with spaces. Requesting a quote does not commit you to anything. 

 

For all assignments, we apply the Finnish Association of Translators and Interpreters’ General terms of contract for translations.
