Completed by Pakistani Punjabi 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 Pakistani Punjabi 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 Pakistani Punjabi 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 Pakistani Punjabi 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 Pakistani Punjabi 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 Pakistani Punjabi

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 Pakistani Punjabi 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 Pakistani Punjabi proofreading and editing calculated?

• The cost depends on the subject matter
• The cost is calculated by the number of words in the source text

Get in touch with one of our lovely project managers and they would be very happy to discuss all the available options with you. Do also take a look at the security procedures and infrastructure we already have in place to protect your data.

While you’re here… some quite interesting facts about the Pakistani Punjabi language.

Punjabi is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by about 130 million people mainly in West Punjab in Pakistan and in East Punjab in India. There are also significant numbers of Punjabi speakers in the UK, Canada, the UAE, the USA, Saudi Arabia and Australia. Punjabi descended from the Shauraseni language of medieval northern India and became a distinct language during the 11th century. In India Punjabi is written with the Gurmukhi (ਗੁਰਮੁਖੀ) alphabet, while in Pakistan it is written with a version of the Urdu alphabet known as Shahmukhi (شاہ مکھی). The written standard for Punjabi in both India and Pakistan is known as Majhi (ਮਾਝੀ/ ماجھ), which is named after the Majha region of Punjab. Punjabi is one of India’s 22 official languages and it is the first official language in East Punjab. In Pakistan Punjabi is the second most widely-spoken language but has no official status.
