Though, there are lots of online
translation agencies and till this article being written, a couple of them will
be registered with different department or online translation
directories.
If you need to hire a translator
or contact a translation agency
to get your document translated then put a smile on your face as technology has
made everything easy.
But before you contact any
translation agency, you should keep some important points in your mind so that
you don’t have to spend extra time and money.
Write detail
of your project.
Each translator or a translation
agency charges for the translation services they provide. The charges for each
language are different from other language. Translation agency offer lower
charges for big projects, but for small amount of words, they have fixed rates.
Normally, for one page document you might be charged 700 to 1000.
If your project is on urgent
basis; if yes, then don’t jump towards any source of translation, as it might
destroy your search for a linguist. Translation is such a work which needs deep
knowledge of source language as well as target language.
A qualified legal translator may
not be good in medical translation; so your domain is also very important.
Whatever translation you get, but
still you are the king. If you have any doubt about the translation or you
think that the translation is not done by a qualified translator then you can
contact another translation
agency to get your document translated.
Keeping all the above mentioned
points in your mind, you can write briefly about your projects and fix your
terms and condition before paying the charges.
