FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions on pricing, turnaround, confidentiality and file formats—contact us for anything else.

How do you keep terminology consistent in manuals and contracts?
We use client or project glossaries, industry-matched linguists, dual review, and TM maintenance across updates.
What is the difference between certified and standard document translation?
Certified work follows authority-specific formats with translator statements or notarization and extra QA. We confirm requirements during scoping.
How much does Business & Legal Document Translation cost?
Pricing depends on word/page count, language pair, subject matter, timeline and formatting. Send a sample or files—we respond within 24 hours with a detailed quote.
What factors affect translation pricing?
Key factors: language pair, content type (general/technical/legal), layout/DTP, certified or notarized delivery, glossary work, rush fees, and volume for ongoing programs.
How long does translation take?
Typical documents are planned at roughly 2,000–3,000 source words per day; website and software work is phased by module. We confirm milestones during scoping.
Can you handle urgent projects?
Yes. Rush jobs use additional linguist/reviewer capacity and priority scheduling. Share your deadline when submitting—we confirm feasibility and options.
