Methodological proposal for the translation revision: General principles and parameters

In this article we present a methodological proposal for translation revision which integrates, both the revision parameters and revision methods to be used, according to the generic aspects of the target text to be revised, and the most appropriate profile for the reviser in order to fulfil this task. Our integrated methodological proposal for translation revision is the result of 1) a descriptive, comparative and critical analysis of translation revision in Translation Studies and 2) the assessment of the overall results of three case studies. We will also put forward an explanation concerning the general revision principles we have used as a basis for establishing the most useful parameters for translation revision.
