Inspired by the specific needs of university students, this manual trains them for a translating career in a translation service or bureau by showing them how their translations would be revised and by whom, and prepares them for an eventual career as a reviser. Used at the end of the translation program, it also perfects and puts into practice much of what they have been taught. A Practical Guide to Bilingual Revision takes into consideration the professional aspects of revision : assessment methods, general principles involved in revising, and working conditions in Canada and abroad. In so doing, it seeks to be of use to professional translators who aspire to careers in revision and to those who already occupy posts of revisers
