Website content

• service pages,
• articles and informative content,
• product descriptions,
• forms and contact messages,
• texts aimed at an international audience.

Whether we can take on a project is confirmed after reviewing the file, the language and the subject matter.

The same text may need a different approach depending on where it will be used.

A certificate for a public authority requires a faithful rendering of its structure, names, dates, stamps and signatures. A website text, on the other hand, must read naturally in the reader’s language and communicate the service or product clearly.

Before work begins, we look at:

• the country and authority of submission,
• the audience the text is aimed at,
• whether a certified or a standard translation is needed,
• the terminology required,
• the delivery format,
• the preferred deadline.

This information helps us choose the right translation approach.

Consistency is especially important when a project includes many documents or recurring work.

Names, company titles, professional terms, products and technical concepts must be rendered the same way throughout. If there are previous translations, glossaries or official renderings, it is useful to send them together with the new files.

We pay particular attention to:

• the correct spelling of names and place names,
• dates and numbers,
• specialised terminology,
• abbreviations,
• references and footnotes,
• stamps and handwritten notes,
• consistency across different documents.

The right form depends on the body or person who will receive the document.

A standard professional translation may be suitable for internal information, business communication, websites and general content.

For submission to a public authority, university, court or other competent body, a certified translation by a person with a specific status may be required, as well as an Apostille or other prior legalisation of the original.

Before ordering, it is important to confirm the requirements of the receiving authority. Translatable can review the material and the information you have received, but this does not replace the decision of the competent authority.

1. Sending and reviewing the material

You send clear scans or the original electronic files, together with the language, intended use and deadline.

2. Quote and delivery time

After reviewing the length, difficulty and requirements, you receive a specific quote and an estimated delivery time.

3. Translation and language check

The content is translated with attention to terminology, consistency and the function of the final text. Names, numbers, dates and formatting are then checked.

4. Delivery

The translation is delivered in the agreed electronic or printed format, depending on the nature of the project and your needs.

How much does a translation cost?

The cost depends on the language, length, terminology, file quality, deadline and whether official certification is needed. For a specific quote, all pages of the document need to be reviewed.

How long does it take?

Delivery time depends on volume, difficulty and availability. If you have a specific deadline, mention it in your first message. Urgent requests are assessed according to the time available and the scope of the work.

In what format should I send the files?

You can send clear PDF scans or the original editable files. Photos must show the whole page, without cut-off edges, shadows or glare. Please also send the back pages and any pages with an Apostille, stamps or notes.

How do I know if I need a certified translation?

Ask the authority or organisation that will receive the document which form of translation it accepts. Tell us their answer when you send the file, so that the right process can be chosen.
