Hi everyone!
I wonder... from a three step process (translation-edition-proofreading), what percentage should edition and proofreading be of the translation rate?
Some colleagues of mine have stated that edition should be 40% and proofreading 20%. Do you agree?
I did not come accross much on the Internet, but the few I found spoke about 50% and 25%.
Cheers!!
