=================================================
The software into which we enter our translation is able (amongst other things) to generate a list of every word we've entered into it! One of the advantages of such a feature is that we are able to go through the translation without having to read through entire books and quickly identify misspelling, possible occurrences of Anglicisation, issues that need phonological clarification, etc. Seeing we've not yet done a check of our list, would you like to help us?! If so, have a look at the document below!
