My main activities are the same as outlined below, but some clients requests and the evolution of the translation's universe brought me to manage different projects for my clients and to out-source a number of documents on request.
Also the new standard for Translation Quality BS EN 15038 has underlined the necessity to focus on new activity: the "Revision Process", i.e. the translation revision (after selfproofing) by a second pair of eyes.
