Hi, I'm Stefan. This caught my attention mainly because I have a strong background in proofreading translations for various languages, including Swahili and Lingala. I've worked extensively with MS Word documents, ensuring that translations are not only accurate but also well-formatted. Here's how I'd approach it: ▸ Start by thoroughly reviewing the translations to ensure all content is accurately translated. ▸ Double-check the formatting against the original documents for consistency and layout. ▸ Look out for any nuanced language issues that could enhance the clarity of the text. I genuinely enjoy diving deep into client projects, understanding the nuances of what’s being built, and treating the outcome as if it’s my own work. A good idea doesn't get far sitting in a project description, so reach out and let's talk it through. Regards, Stefan.
