No one will read your documents more carefully and thoroughly than a professional translator. It is a good sign when the translator asks question about the document he or she is working on.It is always better if the translator has a direct contact with someone in your company to clear any doubts or ask questions. The more the translator knows about the document to be translated, the better quality product you will get.Engage the services of a professional translator for this task. The fact that you can discuss business in the other language without any problems does not mean that you can write properly and in good style in nine out of ten cases it will be possible to detect that “the document was written by a non-native speaker”. We would advise you not to translate the document yourself if you do not master the foreign language.

And what will happen if I translate the document myself?.Please do not forget to include all pertinent contact information in the documents you are sending abroad (international telephone country and area codes, etc.). Please remember that translating not only is finding the right word in the other language, it is about a transfer of culture the target audience needs to understand the whole idea of what you are trying to convey. Avoid any reference to national sports, “gaucho” or “mate” this is something very local for Argentina that foreigners do not understand. Just make sure that your document includes culturally pertinent information for the end users. If it is a matter of translating general information about your company, your foreign customers will surely not be interested in details that many times may sound like you are showing off and may turn your message into something negative. Think “globally” from the very beginning.IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION: this analysis needs to be done before starting to translate. A neurobiology research institute managed to identify what could be omitted in a text they had scheduled for translation and the result was very positive because a lot of time and money was saved. If it is a report, a technical manual, or another kind of document, maybe you need to translate just a part of it, some 230 pages instead of 500 in the original. In principle, it will be much better if you avoid any unnecessary text, as you will have fewer words to translate and the cost will be lower. Is it necessary to translate everything?īefore you decide to translate the whole document (that in some cases may include hundreds of pages), define who will be reading your message.In general, translations are charged per word (although in some countries, for example in Germany they charge per line or per page and in Russia by number of characters per page.) English is much more concise than Spanish, French or Italian. Please bear in mind that texts translated from English into Spanish are longer (there is a 15% to 25% expansion, depending on the type of text).

This figure will give you a general idea of the number of words per page, multiply this by the number of pages and you will get an approximate total of the words to be translated. In order to have a general idea of the number of words involved you have to count the number of words in one or two lines of your page, get an average figure and then multiply by the number of lines that you have in the text.

And how do I calculate the number of words and the cost?.

A translator’s regular production is around 3,000 words a day.

There are approximately 300 words in a regular page, and it may take a translator from one to two hours to translate them, everything depends on the terminology involved, the more complex the terminology the longer it takes to translate it. How long does it take to translate a page?.Translation rates vary, this depends on the format and/or complexity of the text, the target language and the turnaround time (regular or rush).
