Translation Editing
At Quill and Mark, we offer expert editing for translated documents to ensure they read naturally and clearly in English. Whether your work was translated from French, Spanish, Mandarin, or any other language, we polish the English version for tone, fluency, and cultural accuracy. All edits are made using Track Changes so you maintain complete transparency. If your translated content needs to sound natural and professional to native English readers, translation editing is the service for you.
What is Translation Editing?
Translation editing focuses on refining the English version of a translated text to ensure it flows smoothly and accurately conveys the intended meaning. Our editors work to:
- Smooth awkward or literal translations
- Improve natural word choice and sentence structure
- Correct grammar, idiom, and flow
- Align tone and voice with the target audience
- Catch cultural inaccuracies or unintended implications
We maintain the author’s original meaning while adjusting for clarity, style, and fluency in English.
How is Translation Editing Different from Regular Editing?
Standard editing assumes the original was written in English. Translation editing adds an extra layer of care — improving fluency, accuracy, and readability while staying true to the original meaning. It bridges the gap between languages and ensures your content connects with an English-speaking audience.

Our translation editing clients include:
- Authors and publishers translating fiction or nonfiction works
- International businesses localizing documents or web copy
- Academics preparing translated journal articles or theses
