Please note: For security reasons we use professional online antispam/antivirus services which will not accept blank E-mails, "Hotmail" etc., style address E-mails, or those just containing the request in the subject field. E-mails containing the company and contact name, address and telephone and fax numbers in the message body are given priority.
We site translation: With the proliferation of Server Side, Flash and Active Content (and its regrettable possibilities of transferring virus, trojan, worm codes even to well protected PCs) we no longer download web sites for translation. We now need the actual pages requiring translation preferably in Word or text format.
Send us your documents, with an indication of your deadline and number of words so that we can evaluate the translation and let you have our free quotation as soon as possible.
Translations will be started on receipt of your order by fax or post, subject to payment terms.
**We use the International Standard to calculate the number of words in a document, this is the Word counter built into Microsoft's Word software. If you have this software, you can easily check the number of words yourself. (Just open the document in Word, click on file, then properties and click the document properties tab.) The choice of the Word count as a basis for charging ensures that you as the client have a reference point as it is difficult, although not impossible, to quantify the time spent on translation in any other way. A translator who is conscientious and takes a pride in their work, will produce between 2,000 and 2,500 words per day. This includes rewriting and proof reading to ensure maximum accuracy. It also includes referencing both in terms of technical and more general translation as language and terminology change almost daily.
Should you require clarification on any of the above or have any other questions please do not hesitate to call us.
