Recently, I have been doing final editing of scientific papers written in English by non-native English speakers. Fair or not, for scientific and academic work to have maximum impact and advance the careers of the scientists, it has to appear in English in a top-rated English-language journal. I am typically provided with a paper already in English, but in which the quality of the English is not equal to the high quality of the work presented. My task is to rewrite as necessary, so the paper will be accepted by the target journal.
