Language conventions and text review: Italian
For Italian business texts, provide guidance on forms of address, product names and recurring wording. Share approved text blocks so they can be used consistently.
Italian proofreading checks spelling, apostrophes and accents within the agreed scope. Reference materials help verify numbers, amounts and product names.
What does proofreading cover?
We agree the scope using your text and brief. This helps distinguish a language check from more extensive editing or a new translation.
Spelling, grammar and punctuation
Proofreading focuses on language errors and agreed writing conventions. It can include consistent names, terms, numbers and labels checked against your reference materials.
