Frequently Asked
questions
How long will it take to translate my document?
A professional linguist can comfortably translate around 2,000 words or 8 pages per day. A general rule is that a translator must set their completed work aside and come back to it later to be able to see and fix any mistakes, inconsistencies, ambiguities, and other linguistic imperfections. If an editor is part of the process, he or she will also need time.
Some projects can’t wait. In such cases, I speak with the client to understand and meet their needs and quality expectations.
Why do you charge a minimum fee?
It allows me to pay full attention to your project, no matter how small it may be. A moderate minimum fee covers the time necessary to understand the context, request and view visual reference materials, do online research on the subject matter and terminology, ask queries about possible ambiguities in the text and implement the client’s answers.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept payments by bank transfer, Payoneer, PayPal, Visa, and Mastercard. Invoices are payable within 30 days of the date of issue.
