Do you mean editing?

When you take an original, handwritten document and type it up keeping 
the original spellings, punctuations, special characters, etc. that is a 
transcription.

When you take a work and put it into another language, eg Latin to 
English, that is a translation.

What it is called when you take a work and put into the same language 
but "fix" spellings, punctionation, etc. Eg, Shakespeare or Chaucer 
into modern English, Renaissance German into modern German, etc.? I 
thought there was another term for this, other than translation, but I'm 
drawing a blank.

Thanks,
