Base rate for straightforward texts and common language pairs. Specialist terminology, rare languages, certification, urgency and layout are quoted separately.
A billing page means 250 source words, not one sheet of a file. Starting rates depend on language and complexity. Certification, scan recognition, complex layout and urgency are quoted separately. We agree the price and deadline before work starts.
Standard from $2.2 · With revision from $4.4 · per 250 source words
Overview
We translate in the formats your engineers already ship: JSON, XLIFF, PO, Markdown, or straight from the design file, and return them ready to merge. Placeholders, plurals, dates and currencies are handled as code, not as prose.
Every string is reviewed in context, not in a spreadsheet: we run the localised build and read the interface. Text expansion is flagged before it breaks a layout, and a style guide per market keeps tone consistent as your product grows.
What you receive
- Translation in your source format, ready to merge without reformatting
- In-context review of the running build on each target locale
- Per-market style guide and approved terminology base
- Pseudo-localisation pass to surface truncation and encoding faults early
- Ongoing string updates on your release cadence, not ours
One decision, argued in full.
Every discipline has a sentence where the literal rendering is defensible and wrong. This is the one we get asked about most in this one.
Sorry, something went wrong.
Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.
The English apologises; German product convention states the fact. «Entschuldigung, etwas ist schiefgelaufen» reads as a person apologising, and users hear a company being breezy about a failure. Register is decided once per market in the style guide, not string by string.
This example illustrates a translation decision. Client documents are not published here.
How this work runs.
- 01
Brief and scope
We read the actual documents, confirm the purpose and audience, and return a fixed price and date. No estimate is issued from a word count alone.
- 02
Assignment
We assign a translator experienced in the subject. If you choose the revision tier, a second linguist is assigned for an independent review.
- 03
Translation
Drafting against your approved glossary and translation memory, with queries raised early rather than guessed at.
- 04
Revision
The translator checks the finished text. In the revision tier, a second linguist also compares accuracy, terminology, register and completeness against the source.
- 05
Delivery and aftercare
Delivered in your working format with a certificate where required. Queries after delivery are answered by the same team, at no charge.
What clients ask before the first file.
Send us the document. We will read it before we quote.
First reply within 30 minutes during business hours. We agree the price and deadline after file review, usually within one business day.
No obligation. Files remain in the private area of the website and are deleted with the request after 90 days.
