Subject:Non-English tech writer From:"Humphries, Ola" <Ola -dot- Humphries -at- Energy -dot- Sungard -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Tue, 12 Dec 2006 12:43:58 -0600
We have hired an Indian tech writer to help out with our offshoring work. He
is headquartered in India. His English is not standard, to say the least.
Has anyone experience with bringing a foreigner's writing skills up to
levels where it could be published the same as a native speaker's? Of
course, there was Joseph Conrad, but I'm thinking about just a normal person
who has reached the age of 25. We just want to be able to use his work
without a lot of editing.
He has a Master's in English from an Indian university and is intelligent,
well-read, and certainly well educated in other ways.
