The work and personal data you share with us are treated as strictly confidential. All our team members are fully vetted and have signed a contract and non-disclosure agreement.

We’re happy to translate in any of the MS Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) as well as in Google Docs, Google Sheets and the like. If you send us a designed document for translation (such as a PDF), we’ll usually prepare a matrix (with the original on one side and the translation on the other) so that your designer can easily see which part of the translated text corresponds to which part of the original. We also offer design and proofreading services if you need us to take care of this part of the job.
Once we’ve finished translating your document, we’ll send it back in the format of your choice. Of course, if you have any follow-up questions after we’ve sent you the final document, we’re more than happy to answer them.
We calculate the cost of translation based on the number of words in your document and the languages involved. Send us your document and deadline and we’ll get back to you with a free, speedy and precise quote.
We accept payment via bank transfer and PayPal, which includes card payments via the PayPal interface.
For individual clients, we ask that you pay up front the first time we work together; after that, we’ll switch to 30-day invoicing. For businesses, universities and other organisations, we understand that you would most likely prefer an invoice on completion. We’ll ask for your business address, and our payment terms are 30 days from the date of invoicing.
Don’t worry in the least! For most of our academic clients, we liaise directly with the finance department to sort out the admin, so you can focus on the research side of things. If you put us in touch with the relevant team, we’ll work through the supplier registration, quoting and invoicing process with them. Just let us know how you prefer to work and we’ll fit in with you.
