Hi I just joined a new global company located in the US, it’s a fairly large organization. My job is a small chunk of the overall company, in the marketing dept as a designer. I was shocked to see that they not only do not have any proofreaders on staff or hire, but also no translation services. My question to you all is two-fold.
1) Who do you use for proofreading? 2) Who do you use for translation?

All agencies I've worked in have had in-house editorial teams and used vendors for the translation work.

Rare to see a designer who over-writes.

I’m actually the senior designer there and my job is to make things “look nice” lol but I also expect it to be accurate and if I need to rewrite copy I do. Maybe I’m used to working in an ad agency. The new company I’m at is so much bigger than the ad agency I used to work at, I find it odd that they’ve never used anyone outside the company for proofreading and translation services.
