We have two part time copy writers who are primarily responsible for write user admin guides, release notes, and training materials. We also rely on them to copy edit the UI by reading through our form and behavior spec and making changes to field labels, dialog boxes, and error messages. It's really helpful to have them review everything especially since we have to translate most of the UI into over 40 languages so we need to get it right before we spend all that money on translation.
