Every project is different, so I’ll provide a fixed quote and proposed delivery date once I’ve reviewed your document and requirements. Pricing and turnaround times depend on factors such as the service required, word count, document format, complexity, urgency and my availability.
My rates reflect the specialist, professional service I provide and my 18 years of experience as a qualified translator and Chartered Linguist. I don’t aim to be the cheapest or fastest option; I focus on delivering carefully researched, accurate work to a realistic deadline.
My process varies slightly depending on the project, but typically involves four stages:
1. Review & preparation
I review the source text, your requirements and any reference material provided, identifying key terminology and anything that may need clarification before I begin.
2. Translation & research
I translate the text into UK English, researching terminology and subject-specific conventions as I work. If anything in the source is unclear, I’ll contact you rather than make assumptions.
3. Bilingual review
Once the translation is complete, I check it carefully against the original to ensure the meaning has been conveyed accurately and consistently, with nothing omitted or misinterpreted.
4. Final English review
Finally, I read the translation independently as an English text, refining the language and style so that it reads naturally and is appropriate for its intended audience and purpose.
The finished translation is then delivered by the agreed deadline, and I’m always happy to answer any questions after delivery.
Simply get in touch via the Contact page and send me the document you’d like translated, reviewed or proofread, together with any relevant details about the project.
If you have reference materials, preferred terminology, previous translations or a company style guide, please send those too – they can be extremely useful in ensuring consistency with your existing content.
I’ll review everything and send you a fixed quote and proposed delivery date. Once you’re happy to proceed, I’ll confirm the project and get started.
Any documents or information you provide will be treated as strictly confidential.
Payment terms depend on the project and our working relationship. For new clients and one-off projects, I may request full or partial payment in advance. Established clients are normally invoiced on completion, with 30-day payment terms unless otherwise agreed.
For larger or longer-term projects, staged payments may be arranged.
I invoice in pounds sterling (GBP) and payment by bank transfer is preferred. Full payment details and applicable terms will be confirmed with your quote.
