How long until my translation is completed?
In the same way that every individual is different, every translation is likewise unique; it has its own characteristics, technicalities and translation challenges, thus, it would be unfair and misleading to quote a timeframe encompassing every translation. Generally though, we can complete between 1,500 to 2,000 words a day, which also includes time for proofreading and editing.
As you would expect from a leading UK translation agency, we always aim to not only meet, but exceed our clients’ expectations and you can be assured that this is foremost in our minds when undertaking a commission; here are some of the factors though, that actually determine the time taken to complete a translation.
Firstly, the language combination will have a great bearing upon the completion time. As you might imagine, translation to, from and between some of the more ‘commonplace’ languages can be accomplished within a faster timeframe, than between languages such as Chinese or Japanese for example.
The difficulty of the translation will also have a bearing upon completion time. As you can imagine a complex Legal, Technical or Medical translation will take longer than a general translation and of course, the sheer length of a translation project will have a bearing on the time taken to complete it.
Naturally, as one of the leading translation agencies in the UK, we know that sometimes urgent mission critical translations are required quickly and at very short notice; whenever this is the case we are more than happy to help out and can quickly allocate extra resources to complete tasks like these on time, but there may be an extra charge for this service.
Whatever your translation requirements and timeframes though, we are in business to ensure that your business successful; contact us today to see how we can assist you with all your translation needs.
