Here is a summary of my translation process :

1. Review of the source text
2. Compilation and review of instructions and reference material (bilingual files, glossaries, style guide, etc.)
3. Translation with terminological and literature research
4. Self-revising (on screen and on paper)
5. Quality checking (grammatical and spell checks, terminology/dates/numbers/consistency checks, etc.)
6. Final checking (format, double spaces, titles, etc.)
