under-editing vs. over-editing

homepageUnder-editing is generally characterized by the following features:

Errors (spelling, typos)
Mistranslations (TT does not match ST)
Inconsistent terminology
Inaccuracies
Inconsistency in figures, units of measurement, etc.
Incorrect formatting
Not following project-specific instructions

Over-editing is typically characterized by preferential rather than necessary changes.
