Although we know our work inside and out, we also want to help our clients understand what we can do for them and how we do it. Here are some answers to the questions we get asked on a regular basis and we hope you can find the answer you are looking for here, but, if not, just give us a call.
We can translate text into or from any language from Albanian to Zulu and everything in between. Every year we translate into and out of over 70 different languages.

It is safe to say that, in over 35 years of business, there isn’t much we haven’t worked on before. Whether it is marketing material you need like brochures and websites, or something more technical or legal such as manuals or contracts, we can certainly help.
For an exact quotation, simply send us the file you need translating and let us know about the purpose of the text and its readership. We will then work out a quote for you.
Having the text itself is important as the main factor behind each quote we provide is the number of words. Other factors like format, layout and urgency can play a part too.
Our costs are calculated per 1,000 words of text (we can translate less than this amount too) and this varies between £100 and £200 depending on the language.
All of our prices are competitive and we are always looking at ways to keep costs as low as possible for our clients. This is why we continue to invest in clever software and experienced staff.
As a guide, we allow for our translators to translate around 2,000-2,500 words per day. We then allow additional time for proofreading and in-house checks which are vital in achieving a word-perfect final piece.
If you have a particularly tight deadline you are working to, please let us know when you contact us. There are ways to speed up the process such as assigning two or more translators to one job, for example. These alternative methods may increase the cost but if time is of the essence it could be a good investment. We are always flexible in finding an appropriate solution.
Simply put, our translations are better quality, better value, and much less hassle than doing it yourself.
Our decades of experience, our professional translators and our thorough quality checks mean that you can rely on our translations being fluent, accurate and faithful.
We have specialist software which speeds up our processes, makes our translations more consistent and gives you better value, as you pay a reduced rate for repeated text. We can also offer added extras such as typesetting, voiceovers and subtitling.
Most importantly, we take care of everything for you. We take the risk and hassle out of running your own project, so your translations will be ready on time, every time. Our friendly and experienced team will keep you in the loop with your project and are always happy to help with any queries.
Every translation is carried out by a professional, mother tongue translator with knowledge of the subject.
It is also proof-read by a second linguist and then checked again by our project managers so you can be sure your message will come across in accurate, idiomatic language.
Clients want translations in all the usual Microsoft Office formats such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and also in other publishing or design software like InDesign and Illustrator. We work with all common software formats and several others. Just tell us what you need and we can produce it.

All of our translations are proofread by a second linguist but we can offer this as a separate service too.
