Linguistics / definition of terms "proof reading" and "edition"
Spanish term or phrase: proof reading/ edition
Hello everyone!

I'm working on a project in which I'm in charge of doing a "language check", as they call it here my co-workers, but actually my job consists of "proof reading" and editing the docs (manuals, mainly) of a huge software project (all papers written in English by non-native speakers and most frequently, with an pre-intermediate level of English.

How would you as linguists explain the concept of proof reading and edition? I do not only check grammar and terminology but also syntax, proficiency, accuracy...and so on...

How would you translate "proof reading", for non-linguists who seem not to understand the concept?
