When will my translation be ready?

This speed with which we can get your translated document(s) back to you will depend on the file type you provide, the number of words in the original, the subject area and the preparation required to make it look like the original.

Once we have prepared your original documents, they go through two stages as standard: translation followed by proofreading. As a rough guide, an individual translator can translate around 2,000 words per day, with a proofreader handling around 6-8,000 words a day. These figures will depend on the availability of the linguist and on how technical the content is.
