just uploaded the 01_alpha_reps_file. This file was extremely bad. So many mistakes, not only wrong word choice also horrible grammar and orthographical mistakes, etc. I proofread 10 hours. ———————- I finished proofing file 02_194_DEU_tobe_proofed.PXF and uploaded it. I just spotchecked the pretranslation but there were many terms from an old glossary that I had to […]

I need your advice again. There are quatation marks in some files. Sometimes they are present both in the sourse and target text, sometimes -only in the source.

I have uploaded file 6b with finished abbreviations. Took me 5h50 all together. I didn’t keep record of all the abbreviations I did, there were too many. Do you want me to start on 6c, or part of it, or have you given the file to someone else? Carine ———————- Okay, back to reps file. […]

Green light received! Please work on 6d. Please don’t forget to abbreviate to 31 char. If you have problems extending the formula to the part which belongs to 6d, I will try to help. ———————- I have reupladed files 5a and b: French_JD_100201_Localize_5b_Catherine_Final.xls French_JD_100201_Localize_5b_Catherine_Final.xls ———————- Carine how is 6b?

, can you take care of a small job for us? The following is an email from ——————————————————- But as I asked earlier today, first I’d at least like someone to spotcheck them, to double check consistency. But NOT a full proofread. Each file should take no more than 5 minutes. We need to get […]
