FAQs regarding text translations

The delivery time of a translation depends on the length of the text to be translated and the planning at the time of the translation request.
Most requests we receive are for Dutch-Spanish-Dutch, German-Spanish-German and English-Spanish-English.
We are not certified translators but we work closely together with certified translators if such a document is required.
The price per word is between €0.10 and €0.25 and depends on the type of the document to be translated, the language combination, the amount of work involved, the subject matter and the deadline. We will always send you a quote before starting the translation.
Text expansion or contraction means that the amount of words in the source language could be different in the target language.
Each translated text is revised again by a second person. This prevents minor typing or spelling mistakes.
For official instances and legal proceedings it is often a requirement that a translation is certified.
This depends very much on the text. On average it is between 1000 and 2000 words per day.
