Before using your English translation
- Read the whole translation once for meaning instead of checking isolated words only.
- Make sure it sounds natural in English and does not copy the source word order mechanically.
- Double-check names, numbers, dates, measurements, links, and product terms.
- For legal, medical, financial, or publication-ready text, ask a qualified English speaker for a final review.
