Translation Procedure and Team Role

I would like to take the opportunity to explain the translation procedure and the role of each position  
 
Translator: translate articles from Chinese to English  
     qualification
     fair or better proficiency in English and Chinese  
     fair or better understanding in English/Chinese Buddhism term
 note: welcome anyone that is willing to learn. No previous experience is required.    
     
Editors: rewrite and revise translated articles  
   qualification
     strong and solid background in  English language  
     fair or better understanding in English Buddhism terms  
    note: a trial test may be given for this position
 
Proofreader: provide quality assurance on the final draft.  
   fair or better proficiency in English and  Chinese      
   well-versed in Chinese/English Buddhism terms  
  note:experiened senior translators only.
     
 
As you can see, the system is setup in such way that everyone is a key player in the translation procedure, yet the workload is distributed and shared. Prior to publishing any work,  a paper is reviewed by at least 3 members(
Translator/Editor/Proofreader) so we can eliminate possible mistakes and improve the accuracy. With the team effort, more of our beloved Guru's teachings can be learned!
