How it Works
We follow a four-step process to ensure that you receive a manuscript that retains the original meaning and is ready to submit to a journal.
Step 1
A translator converts the manuscript into English, focusing on the technical language and subject-area conventions.
Step 2
A bilingual expert checks the accuracy of the translation and ensures that your original meaning is conveyed.
Step 3
An experienced reviewer checks for punctuation, grammar, language style, formatting, clarity, and fluency.
Step 4
A senior reviewer checks that all your requirements have been met before sending you the final, submission-ready file.

Free Manuscript Formatting
It can take a lot of time ensuring that manuscripts comply with your target journal’s guidelines. Let our experts help you. We format your translated manuscript to meet with journal Instructions for Authors.
Here are some of the aspects that our experts will check:
- Does your manuscript comply with the word limit?

- Does the manuscript follow the language style required?
- Have the references and citations been presented as specified?
- Have you followed the overall layout requirements such as margins, spacing, alignment, and section breaks?
Free and unlimited questions & answers (Q&A)
Often, authors would like to communicate with the translator who has worked on their manuscript. Our Q&A service means you can ask your translator questions about your article at any point after you have received the translated file, at no additional cost.
Here are some common questions our translators receive:
- Could you please reword this paragraph?
- Could you please explain your interpretation to me? I would like to know if your writing expresses my meaning more effectively.
- I am not sure if the translation conveys my intended meaning fully.

Frequently Asked Questions
QA: What guarantees do you give regarding the quality of translation?
Our translation services include a thorough translation, edit, and review process. Once the document is translated by an experienced translator, the translated document is reviewed by a bilingual expert to check that the author’s original meaning is unchanged.
We guarantee that the quality of English in all documents edited by T&F Editing Services will meet the standards required in the international publishing industry. This guarantee applies to every document edited by us, regardless of service, deadline, or fee. If your manuscript receives unfavorable comments from the journal because of the quality of English, we will re-edit your manuscript for free, as long as you have addressed all the editor’s notes and comments and not made significant changes to the edited manuscript before submission.
QA: How is your translation different from regular translation companies?
Academic translation is slightly different from regular translation. Having translators who are active researchers in your area of study ensures that they know the technical language of your field in both English and your native language, guaranteeing the most accurate translation possible. We also include a quality review for every translation in order to provide the most accurate version of your important research. Moreover, our translation service includes English language editing by native speakers in your field, so you can be assured of the quality of the language in your final paper.
