Translation Quote: How Long Does It Take To Get One?
Some translation quotes are straightforward and we can prepare them within just a few minutes. Quoting other projects is more complex and takes longer.
Quoting projects involving multiple languages adds complexity, as do languages that are not often translated (e.g., Swahili, Punjabi, Bengali, et. al.). Most commercial translation work occurs in 10-12 language combinations that are the most popular.
Projects with specialized subject matter can also require a bit more time to quote. Not all translators are suited for projects in certain subject domains. If a specialist translators need to be consulted in connection with preparing a project quote that can also add time to the process.
Translations quotes are prepared and sent to clients as soon as possible (all things considered).
