Completed by Italian proofreaders and editors with an eye for detail
Any copy, whether in hardcopy format or online should be proofread before being published. This rule applies to text in any language. Our experienced Italian proofreaders have an eye for detail and a perfectionist’s pleasure in getting it right.
You may need more to ensure your text is just the way you want it. Working in over 200 languages, our experienced editors will review and amend a document by making additions, deletions or other changes to ensure the text reads well and conveys the right message.
Just let us know how we can help you.
What will our Italian proofreaders and reviewers consider?
Our proofreaders can either compare the translation against the source text or proofread the translation without reference to the source text. They can also proofread text in its original language. The proofreader will consider spelling, consistency, coherence, check names, figures and symbols, grammar, accents are in place, punctuation and check for omissions.
Our proofreaders can also carefully check the formatting of a document to ensure that sentences don’t appear twice, a word has not been cut off inappropriately, headings are in bold if they should be, titles to illustrations have not been omitted. This is especially important post desktop publishing or typesetting.
Some of our clients ask us to check adherence to their own in-house style guides.
Just explain to one of our experienced project managers what you need and we’ll do the rest.
What role do our Italian editors play?
Our editors will typically check facts and ensure that the finished copy corresponds with any in-house style guide and feels polished, refined and natural. It is our Italian editor’s job to cut out content that doesn’t fit with the subject matter or with the goals that the commissioning party have set.
The main role of our editors is to make sure that the text is clear, will maintain the interest of the reader and that any information contained within the document is fact-checked as thoroughly as is possible or practical.
Let us know the subject matter of your document and we’ll assign one of our editors to work their magic.
Review of audiovisual translations in over 200 languages including Italian
Because of the nature of audiovisual translation work, a native speaker of the original speech may produce the translation of audio or video material. This is because they are often able to pick-up more than a linguist who is merely fluent in that language.
Depending on the intended use of the translation, we may recommend that one of our linguists reviews the output to produce a polished result. Alternatively, if the audiovisual translation has been commissioned to simply discover what is being said and the transcript is not destined for publication, then it is likely that the raw format will suffice.
What sort of material do our Italian proofreaders and editors handle?
Our amazing team of linguists will tackle just about any written text including:
- Contracts
- Manuals
- Magazines
- Brochures
- Leaflets
- Books
- Poetry
- TV and film scripts
- Audio book scripts
- Voice over scripts
- Subtitles
- Audiovisual translations
How is the cost for Italian proofreading and editing calculated?
- The cost depends on the subject matter
- The cost is calculated by the number of words in the source text

While you’re here… some quite interesting facts about the Italian language.
Italian is the official language of Italy and is spoken by about 70 million people, primarily in this country. It’s the official language of San Marino as well, and one of the official languages of Switzerland, spoken mainly in Ticino and Grigioni cantons. The Italian alphabet is only 21 letters. Italian uses the same Roman characters as the English language… minus 5 of them. The letters j, k, w, x, and y simply do not exist in Italian, so if you happen to see them used in an Italian text, that means the word is borrowed from another language!
Where is Italian most widely spoken?
Italy, San Marino, Switzerland, Vatican City, the Republic of Slovenia (Slovene Istria) and the Republic of Croatia (Istria County).Get in touch with one of our lovely project managers and they would be very happy to discuss all the available options with you.
