Check the Translation
Time permitting, I prefer to check a translation at least a day after I completed the first translation. I find that the quality of the checking process improves significantly by letting the document sit overnight. I used to be an adherent of the inherited wisdom that on-screen checking is more difficult and not as good as checking a printed out version of a translation. I have since overcome that aversion to screen checking, while maintaining the understanding of the need to be very careful when checking a displayed document.
Summary
The foregoing is just a very brief outline of the process of taking a patent specification translation job to completion. Other translators will do different things during the translation process. I presented this tour as just one example of how one translator works.
Ex.13. Translate the following phrases into Ukrainian:
go into much detail
newcomers to patent translation
to take a peek at
identifying customer requirements
a physical check of the manuscript content
mark the end of all non-last sentences
relevant patents
valuable background information and clues
with the subject matter of a particular invention
a brief skim through the document
eliminate some of the drudgery of typing
a standard set of abbreviations
let the document sit overnight
aversion to screen checking
