We provide translation services for these languages and many others including European, Asian, Middle Eastern, and African languages.
How are fees calculated?
Certified translation services are priced based on the number of words in the source documents. A signed certification is included with the project delivery at no additional fee.
How much time is required for certified translation services?
Project durations scale with the scope of the project. Small projects can be completed in 1-2 days. Larger projects (e.g., more than 10,000 words) require more time. On average a professional translator will process about 2500 words per day.
Estimated project schedules are included on issued quotes for services.
