Join us for a two-hour course that will cover editing and proofreading translated documents presented by IIB’s Translation Coordinator, Ryan Green. Open to document translators of all levels, this course is meant to improve your document translation skills by better understanding how to edit and proofread translated documents to yield a more professional looking end-product. Those looking to refresh their foundational skills are also welcome.
Date: Monday, July 29, 2024 from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
If you are able, please offer a donation of any amount you’d like to help cover the operating costs of our diverse departmental offerings, or even perhaps for an interpreter who cannot otherwise afford to pay for training..
This training will include an overview of the basics of editing and proofreading theory, a bit of practice, and how to use the editing features of Microsoft Word and Adobe.
There will be no translation involved in this training.
