Readable, not laughable
Don't want your texts to be the laughing stock of the internet? Steer clear of machine translation. For well-written, effective and convincing texts, choose the right formula:
- Have them translated by an experienced professional who only translates into his/her native language
- Be clear about your expectations
- Allocate a reasonable budget
- Agree on realistic deadlines
- Be available to answer questions during the translation process
What about the rates?
The price of translation varies according to the level of difficulty, the volume of work involved, the file format, the deadline required, and the final use of the document. To simplify the calculation, the price is often quoted as a rate per source word.
The other services I provide can be billed by the hour, the half day, the full day, or as a package.
