Frequently asked questions
General
We use a powerful combination of human creativity and machine intelligence to craft consistent quality translations, quickly. In other words, we select the translators we work with from a pool of thousands of professional freelancers worldwide, and we constantly optimize our production processes to help our Project Managers work as best as possible, concentrating on the tasks that really bring value to the final output of your projects, such as quality assurance.
You have a few options:
Note that if you insert a word count estimate and confirm the order, the project manager will contact you before starting the project if the word count is significantly different from what you indicated (either lower or higher).
Certainly. We can even work directly in the source code of your website. Upon request, we can also upload your files directly to the Web, ready for browsing. For more information you can consult our page on website translations.
The majority of our requests come from companies, but we also often work with private individuals and are happy to help them with their translation needs.
We offer the option to add a Certificate of Translation Accuracy to your order. This certificate attests that the translation was carried out by a professional native translator to the best of his/her ability. Certified translations have an additional cost of €15.00 (or 3% of the total price for orders over €500). Please note that this certification is not the same as a sworn translation service, i.e. a translation done by an officially appointed (sworn) translator.
You can request a Certificate of Translation Accuracy by adding a note during the final stage of your online order (“Notes for the translator”), or by simply asking our team when contacting us.
Prices
You have a few options:
This is because our prices vary according to the real-time availability of our translators. As our translators’ availability changes, and since each translator sets his/her own rate, the prices on our website are subject to a certain flexibility.
There is no minimum order size. However, if you order a translation of fewer than 100 words, we will apply the price of a 100-word translation to cover our production costs. In other words, translating 1 to 99 words will always cost you as if you were having 100 words translated.
The prices displayed on our quotes do not include value added tax (VAT). VAT will be applied to the final invoices under the current VAT rates in each country for:
Delivery Dates and Turnaround Time
Our non-rush turnarounds are approximately as follows:
These are purely indicative and are intended for regular, non-rush jobs. Upon request, we can offer up to 100,000 words per day in most language combinations. If you need such turnarounds, just contact us, and our Account Manager will find the right solution for you.
Payments
We offer all our clients the possibility to pay after the traslation has been delivered, within 5 days. That's because we firmly believe that trust should always be mutual.
For our most recurring customers, we also offer a monthly billing option, as well as a 30 to 60 day payment policy. If you are interested in this opportunity, feel free to contact us.
Please note that we may ask new clients to provide a 20% to 100% advance payment for their first order, only when this is above EUR 250 (for individuals) or above EUR 2,000 (for business clients). Any following order will be subject to the Pay After Delivery model.
When you receive your translation, you will also receive an electronic invoice with payment details and instructions.
We accept the following payment methods:
