What should I check in a translated Word document?
Compare the source and target paragraph by paragraph, confirm names and recurring terms, then open the exported DOCX in Word to inspect tables and text boxes.
WORD DOCUMENTS
A Word translation is only useful when you can finish the details.
Move from a first translation to a reviewed document. Compare passages, adjust terminology, and inspect the exported file before it goes to a client.
A PRACTICAL REVIEW PATH
01
Compare source and target passages
02
Correct technical terms in context
03
Review the exported DOCX in Word
BEFORE YOU DELIVER
Inspect the actual output.
Complex tables, text boxes, tracked changes, and embedded objects may need manual repair after export.

What to check in this workflow
Will the exported DOCX always preserve its layout?
No. Complex tables, tracked changes, text boxes, and embedded objects may require manual repair. Inspect the actual exported file before delivery.
These are review steps, not a guarantee for every file. Start with a document you can inspect.
