Have you ever worked with a reviser on your translations?

No, I haven't, but I've heard they can really improve the quality.

Root Explanation

Reviser → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "visere" (meaning to see or look at). The word "reviser" means to look at something again, typically to review or edit it.

Memory Tip

Think of looking at something 'again' ('re-') to 'see' it ('visere') — that's why a reviser is someone who reviews or edits.
