TRANSCRIPT

Review the

original

assignment and

make sure you

haven’t spent

time answering

a question that

wasn’t asked.

Doing thorough terminology

research (and sometimes a

glossary) is essential to a good

translation.

Run an ear test

on a hard copy

of the translation

to see if it reads

well & sounds

Make sure you’ve

converted currencies,

measurements, and

temperatures correctly,

and that all numbers

and dates are both

accurate and in their

culturally appropriate

format.
