The most efficient and environmentally friendly way to
send us your document is as an e-mail attachment. Please see the services
page for more information and options. |

Our translators work throughout most of
the United States and some are
located in Latin America, Japan and Europe. However, because it is so easy to
send and receive documents over the internet, location is not an issue as far as
being able to get your translation done on time and to your satisfaction. For
payment and correspondence purposes our offices are currently
located in Logan, Utah. |
|
Our translators are certified by
at least one of the following certifying authorities: the National Center for State
Courts (NCSC), the American Translators Association (ATA), the National Association of
Judicial Interpreters and Translators (NAJIT), and/or other national or international
organization which certifies translators or interpreters. Many are certified by more
than one certifying authority. However, because we also deal with a large volume
of translations that don't need to be translated by a certified translator, we
also use many translators that have experience and translation degrees but no
certification if their experience and translation skills are
sufficient for a given project. |

Our rates are very competitive! We are sure that you will
not find a better quality translation for a better price. Basically our rate
system is based on the following formula: total translation cost = per word rate
x final word count + certification fee + mailing fees. Word count is based on the total number of words as calculated by
our word processing software, which is an industry-wide standard in translation.
Our certification fee is USD $40.00, which covers the costs (including time and transportation)
of taking our certification form before a notary and then mailing it to you.
Mailing costs will depend entirely on your preference of mail service, although
we recommend certified or express mailing to avoid any delays or possible loss
of your translation. Of course, if no mailing or certification is
necessary, your translation will be returned much faster and the
total cost will also be lower. |

If your translation is between
2-10 full pages, which is the most common size we deal with, your finished translation will
arrive within 5 business days from the time you accept our quote.
However, translations under 500 words
(usually 1-2 pages) will only take 3 business days unless special formatting is
required. Extremely large
projects will take longer, and will have to be confirmed; however, you can
usually count one day for every 5 pages over 10, unless special
arrangements are made. For example, 15 full pages will take 6
business days, 20 full pages will take 7 business days, and so on. If you need a translation faster than this, please contact us and we will
find a way to get it back to you by your deadline. Please keep in mind that
your choice of mail carrier and rate will also affect the total
turnaround time. |
|
Our translators are educated native speakers
and writers of the target language
(language that is being translated into), although they often receive the
support of source language natives. This helps avoid any and all
possible misunderstandings, mistranslations and stylistic errors. |
