alexpgpI allowed myself to be inveigled into editing some civil registry documents (generally a piece of cake to translate, and a piece of cake to edit).
The key word in that last sentence is "generally."
Herewith, the last graf of my cover note to the project manager:

Herewith, the last graf of my cover note to the project manager:
Please do not send me any more documents like this to edit if they were translated by the same translator. In my opinion, the work was done with a lack of attention to basics, and included several errors in transcribing numbers, omitted text, and translation errors. As a result, editing took longer than expected and the work was needlessly stressful and unpleasant. Short of retranslating the documents myself, I can't be sure I haven't somehow missed something.Cheers...
