Services & Quality
Both are official translations but serve different purposes:
- Certified Translation: The translator certifies that the translation is accurate. Used for immigration, education, and general official purposes.
- Sworn Translation: A translator takes an oath before a magistrate or court. Required for legal proceedings, court cases, and official government submissions.
Quality is our top priority. Every translation goes through:
- Expert Translation: By native speaker translators with subject matter expertise
- Proofreading: A second linguist reviews for accuracy and consistency
- QA Check: Final review against the source document to catch errors
- Feedback Loop: We address any client concerns before finalizing
Absolutely. Our team includes specialists in various fields:
- Legal and contract translation
- Medical and pharmaceutical documentation
- Technical manuals and software documentation
- Financial and accounting documents
- Marketing and creative content

Turnaround & Pricing
Turnaround depends on document size and complexity:
- 1-5 pages: 24 hours
- 5-20 pages: 2-3 days
- 20+ pages: Quote on case-by-case basis
We price based on several factors:
- Word count: Primary factor—we count the source document words
- Language pair: Common language pairs are more affordable than rare ones
- Complexity: Technical documents may cost slightly more due to expertise required
- Certification: Certified/sworn translations have a modest additional fee
- Turnaround: Rush orders may have a premium
