Proofreading & Editing
A second, independent set of eyes on a draft, a human translation, or machine-translated text — corrected to a natural, publication-ready result.
from €0.045 per word
Services
Who it's for
- It’s fine to bring machine-translated text — post-editing is its own, separately priced service, never quietly folded into “translation”
- Anyone with a human-written draft that needs a second, independent read before it goes out
- Anyone polishing a human translation before publication or submission

What this costs
Proofreading & Editing (human-written source): from €0.045/word. MT Post-Editing (machine-translated source): €0.06/word, a separately labelled line — tell us at checkout if that’s what you’re sending. Prefer a fixed word block? Order below.
Confidentiality & data handling
Drafts and pre-publication material are treated as unpublished and confidential until you release them — the same encrypted transfer and limited access as every other document type.
Machine translation, honestly labelled
MT is never passed off as a human translation; post-editing is its own, appropriately priced line.
A human reads every job
Every text passes through a human editor before it’s returned.
Frequently asked questions
Can I send you machine-translated text?
Yes, without hesitation — choose MT Post-Editing for it.
What’s the difference between proofreading and MT post-editing?
Proofreading assumes a human-written source; MT post-editing is priced and handled specifically for machine-translated text.
Will you flag substantive issues or just fix typos?
Both — we correct accuracy and wording issues, not only spelling and grammar.
