Translation quotations are largely based on the word count of a document.  Pricing varies from language to language.  To get the best quote we always need to see the document(s) that are to be translated.  Files can be sent electronically by email, in hard copy, on CD or DVD or uploaded to our secure FTP site.

We support all major file formats such as InDesign, Corel Ventura, Corel Draw, Interleaf, PageMaker, XML, XLIFF, Frame maker, Quark Express, Photoshop, AutoCAD, Freehand, Dream weaver and PDF.  Editable formats are preferred to ensure an accurate word count and quotation.

Translations are usually returned in an editable electronic format via email or FTP, unless we are asked to deliver in a specific format like PDF or by post in hardcopy.  The translation is delivered laid out as close the original document as possible and ready to print, taking into account any pre-agreed guidelines or instructions.

Translation costs are based on the word count of a document.  Rates vary from language to language and are usually calculated per word or per 1000 words to be translated.   Desk Top Publishing costs are calculated separately on an individual basis and are in addition to the cost of translation

To go ahead with a translation once a quotation has been accepted, we need written confirmation to proceed or a PO.  Confirmation by email is also acceptable.

Our translators translate 2000 words per day on average or approximately 6 pages of A4 based on 350 words per page.

30 day credit terms are available to most corporate clients.  Occasionally, for new clients or individuals payment may be required upfront.
