Q: Why should I pay for translations when I can get them on the Internet for free?
A: Automatic translation is good for getting a general idea of what a foreign phrase means, but it never produces a good quality text. Translations undertaken by full-time, properly qualified professionals ensure that the resulting text is perfectly intelligible, elegant and appropriate in style and content. This takes time and skill.

Q: I'm worried about privacy. How can you assure me that my document won't be stolen?
A: Simple! If you have privacy concerns, we'll sign a legally binding nondisclosure agreement and make our translator(s) sign it too.

Q: How long does translation take?
A: A good technical translator can translate about 2,000 words per day. An editor can proofread about 4,000 words per day. Desktop Publishing (formatting) can take a few hours - or many days. Every translation project is unique and timeframe will vary based on many factors: technical level, word count, graphics, format, translators.
