How long does editing take?

Editors can proofread 6000 - 8000 words a day. Ideally we try to have just one proofreader per client or project to ensure consistency across translated communications. If the volumes are very large, such as ongoing translation requirements for websites with 100,000+ pages, a good alternative is to use a glossary in addition to the Translation Memory.

Editing is always done after the translation is completed, and for most short documents 1 day is allocated for editing and finalizing.
