What do I need to get a quote for translation services?
You’ll need to send us your documents, your website URL or an estimated word count to get a cost for any of our translation services. We also need to know the languages you require, such as English to French or German to Spanish. For some languages like Chinese, we would also need to know the target market. Finally let us know your desired delivery format, i.e. InDesign, PDF, Word doc, subtitles, and so on. If you require further services such as typesetting, we will need sight of the original document for an accurate quote.
How do we start a translation project?
Once you’re happy with our costs and would like to go ahead, an assigned account manager will start your translation project. After a 50% deposit invoice has been paid, you will be asked to send the latest files for the project. It is also helpful to have reference materials such as PDFs, tone of voice, specific terminology or glossaries if available. Timescales will be discussed and confirmed. Now relax, your translation project will be underway and delivered on time and on budget with an account manager keeping you in the loop.
What is the usual turnaround time for translation projects?
This depends on numerous factors, but the mains ones are: The word count. The format. The subject matter. The translation services requested. Common time scales are: Translation: 2000-2500 words per day Proofreading: 4000-6000 words a day Your quote will give an exact delivery date.
Do you use AI for translation?
Yes, we do, where it makes sense. We use AI as a supportive tool, not a replacement for human expertise. It’s part of our toolkit, helping with speed and consistency, especially for structured or technical content.
Is everything translated by machines?
Absolutely not. All creative, brand-sensitive and audience-facing content is translated or reviewed by expert humans. When we use AI, it’s always under human supervision to ensure clarity, nuance and tone are spot on.
Can I choose between AI and human translation?
It’s not either/or. We’ll guide you to the right mix for your project, whether that’s fully human, supported by AI, or a thoughtful blend of both. We never use raw AI translation on its own. Either way, you’ll have full clarity and confidence from day one.
Why not just use AI on its own?
AI has its place, but it can miss cultural context, tone, or subtle messaging. Worse still, it can hallucinate or omit important details entirely. Without human input, the risk of embarrassing or misleading content increases. We’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Can you work with my AI-generated content?
We can. If you’ve already used AI for a first pass, we can review, edit, and bring it up to human standard.
