Book Our proofreading services quickly and easily via the "get a quote" form. Or – as always – you’re welcome to contact us by phoning (+45) 71 96 96 67 or e-mailing info@translatedbyus.com.
Should I choose copy editing or proofreading?
If you want us to go over the entire text with Our finest-toothed comb, re-writing troubling passages along the way, check out our copy editing service.
Regardless of whether you choose copy editing or proofreading, we’ll send you a file with “tracked changes” or a PDF showing all corrections so you can go through them one by one or approve all of them with just one click.
Too many cooks spoil the broth
In today’s modern workplace, it’s common for written material to cross several desks before reaching us, with each expert, or cook, adding their own special ingredients to the text. Typically, each "cook" will have a different idiolect (a distinctive way of writing and phrasing unique to an individual), and this can result in a muddled or even incoherent text. This is where professional proofreading becomes invaluable.
When you order a proofreading from Us, we’ll take care to merge the various linguistic styles into one coherent style with a common thread running throughout.
Our professional proofreaders have extensive experience in a number of fields, and their primary task is to improve coherence while sifting out errors, repetitions and ambiguities.
They’ll also make sure that any specialised terminology is used consistently throughout your content, just in case the various "cooks" used slightly different terms.
Is it possible to make a delicious cake out of poor ingredients?
The obvious answer is no. When a text is riddled with errors, inconsistencies and ambiguities, it’s difficult to digest and almost impossible to understand.
These problems are only magnified in translation, and the result is unpalatable. Get proofreading help from one of Our professional proofreaders and we promise to deliver a "cake" you'll want to eat.
If you feel that more radical changes could be necessary, consider ordering copyediting. Read more about the difference between proofreading and copyediting here.
Proofreading of all types of materials
We also offer proofreading of printed materials.
Our editors are razor-sharp and have many years of experience, so we’re up for whatever task you may throw at Us. We proofread anything from short sales texts and product descriptions to lengthy manuscripts and academic articles.

Don't eat grandma: Book a professional proofreading
When you’ve made language your livelihood, it’s easy to become something of a perfectionist and get a bit pedantic about the details. This is good news for our customers, because that small, unsuspecting punctuation mark can be the difference between inviting Grandma to dine (“Let’s eat, Grandma!”) and proposing a little cannibalism! (Let’s eat Grandma!”).
Of course we experience moments of self-irony when we spend a whole morning changing hyphens to em-dashes (-/–) and inserting spaces between numbers and percentages. But that's just a reflection of our love for language.
Boost your bottom line with flawless content
A number of studies show that language has a major impact on consumers' willingness to buy.
Websites with well-written, error-free texts score four times higher on trust. In other words, there is money to be made from investing in professional proofreading.
Book one of Our linguists for a proofreading and we promise that your investment will more than pay for itself in additional sales.
Why spend time and money on a professional proofreader?
Although it’s true that most people can learn to identify common mistakes and errors with a little practice, Our professional linguists always manage to find some weeds hiding amongst the flowers 🌾.
Even if copywriting is part of your job description, it's all too easy to find yourself “too close” to the content you’ve written, unable to see the forest for the trees.
And it’s simply human nature to have a soft spot for the sentences we’ve sweated over ourselves, making it almost impossible to spot discrepancies or pare away any excesses.
Our professional proofreaders are completely impartial and can take these "tough decisions” off your hands.
Book a proofreading from Us and let Our linguists make your text more understandable and easier to read.
