FAQ
Machine translation engines as great tools for drafting and assessing.
They will not however produce a useable translation that is fit for purpose. A machine translation does not manage context, underlying or intended meanings - they only handle the basics and, increasingly, assist with relevant terminology.
In order to produce a relevant and useful translation it requires a human translator. It is not enough to review a machine translated text, it will have to be translated and processed properly just like any other source text.
We will happily provide a full translation or your text. A “quick review” will not result in the quality that I stand for and that you deserve. .
Delivery times are based on availability and will be assessed at the time of the request.
In general a request needs to be made 2-3 days in advance.
The delivery timeline depends on the volume of the text. In general you need to expect a minimum of 1 day per 4,000 words.
The topic and quality of the source text is another variable here as well.
Understandably, sometimes the need is urgent and I’m happy to assist with last minute and urgent request wherever available.

The price will be set to reflect the effort of the job and to make it fair and worthwhile for everyone, and all be based on (timelines, topic, content, volumes, quality of source text and file formats.)
The baseline is the balance between Time, Quality and Price - top quality takes longer; a speedy timeline comes at a cost and might have an affect on quality . You determine which is most important for you based on what you need the translation for. We'll work with you to make sure the result right for you.
