What Languages Do You Offer?

That's usually the question on everyone's mind. Our rates are some of the lowest in the industry. We simply use the MS Word spell checker to count the words in English and then charge per word translated. If you'd like an exact quote feel free to send us an e-mail stating who you are, what language you need and how many words are in the document. We do our best to keep schools within their budgets!

We prefer to do everything electronically. This way we can keep the same format as the original English. The way things typically work best is by having a designated person in each school district, or school site, who handles the translation requests. The designee can prioritize and screen documents for us before e-mailing them to be translated. We can receive documents in MS Word, Notepad, Excel, Power Point, Publisher or Access formatting. After translating the document we send it back to the person who needed it and notify the designee who sent it to us.

Yes! This is one of the reasons why we try to do everything electronically. Although the lengths of the words vary in different languages (for example: Spanish translations usually turn out to be about 15% longer than English originals) we can still keep the documents looking very similar to the original English.

All of our translators have lived in the country that speaks their second language for a number of years and are quite proficient in both languages. We will be happy to do a free trial translation for you in Spanish. All bragging aside, we are very good translators and will be happy to show you. If you are a school administrator click here to contact us and tell us what you need. We will translate any document, with 500 words or less, to prove how good we are and get it back to you within 24 hours for free.

Absolutely! Much of the work that we do is confidential (notes to parents, psycho-educational reports etc.) and so we understand how to deal with such sensitive documents. We have a place on our website where sensitive documents can be uploaded to and to which only our translation coordinator has access. In our typical contract we agree to never release our translations to a third party. All of the information you send to us goes right back to you and to no one else.

It depends on the length and the language. Documents that are 500 words or less can be translated and returned within 24 hours if need be. If the document is long or the language is difficult (i.e. obscure medical or legal or technical terminology) then it may take us a little longer. We feel that part of our job is to be accommodating and will work hard to make sure things are always returned well before they are needed.
