ABSTRACT
Trans-editing as used here means editing during translation that is not restricted to the small-scale changes discussed in Chapters 4 to 6. Extensive changes are allowed, recommended or even required. This chapter will focus on editing work at the macro-level, beyond words or phrases, and more specifically on major structural editing (such as rearranging paragraphs and sections) and major content editing (adding or subtracting a large amount of content). In professional settings, a combination of such large-scale structural and content editing is common.
