Key Features of Document Translation Services

By Sean K. Portis

You do not have to rely on freelance translators to translate your legal documents, scientific reports, marketing materials or company handbook. There are various companies that offer professional translation services better than freelance translators. Listed below are the key features of the service offered by translation companies.

1. Affordable rates. There are numerous translation companies competing for clients and this situation has resulted into a drop of prices and an increase in the quality of service. This also means that you can look around for a service that would fit your budget.

2. Get quotes instantly. Most professional companies have the ability to offer quotes instantly online or over the phone. This feature allows you to know the total cost of your project immediately. It also allows you to quickly compare different quotes from different companies in less than a day.

3. Fast turnaround times. Since most document translation service companies are comprised of a team of translators, they can promise faster turnaround times than an independent freelance translator. This means the actual translation process may consist of the translation, editing, proofing, grammar check and then a quality check. This ensures that you will be receiving only the highest-quality work at all times, and still get it faster than an independent translator. When you're working on a tight deadline, this can be a very attractive feature.

4. 24/7 customer support. Almost all document translation companies offer customer support services 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. This means it's easier to keep track of the progress of your document and ensure that you are aware of all charges and fees associated with your project. In most cases, you will be assigned an account manager, or project manager, who will serve as your point of contact throughout the translation and billing process.

5. Native speaker translations. While some companies use machine tools or software programs to perform the translation, the majority of well-established and professional companies work with a team of native-speaking translators. This means that there is more consistency throughout the document, and any cultural nuances or unique terms will be included in the document. Overall, this means the target audience that will be reading the translated documents will be able to understand your core message better.

6. Efficient submission process. Many document translation companies accept documents in an electronic format, which means you can upload the document to a central location online, scan the document and send the file, or simply attach a Word or .PDF document to an e-mail. This makes it very easy and efficient to submit your document and have it worked on.

There are many benefits of working with a document translation company, and it helps to review several companies to find the best quote for your project. Overall, these services may be a better match than working with an independent translator because you can count on a high-quality product, and receive customer support throughout the process.
