Free translation quote

As part of our on going web site development, we have now posted a new translation quote request page through which potential clients can get a basic idea of the cost for translation.

Whilst this service is aimed at giving a basic estimate, a final written quote will be issued once all text has been reviewed. Factors influencing the cost of translation include:

• Number of words
• Time-scale required
• How technical is the text? (Legal documents, medical papers, technical manuals all require the attention of specialist translators and proofreaders)
• Format and quality of the source text - It may cost you more for a badly photocopied or faxed text than if you sent a word document.
• The language required - some languages are in more demand / have less qualified translators than others and thus the cost of translation varies between various languages.

If your project has some flexibility in time scales and such forth, we can generally get the price of translation down. We do not however compromise on the quality of the translation and only use fully qualified translators and proofreaders. In addition in most cases, given enough time, we have a third, native language speaker read the documents to examine the flow and accuracy of the final text.
