As a customer, you can even help us in advance to ensure that we carry out your translation order to your complete satisfaction. The following information provides valuable advice for this purpose:

➊ Advanced Plan

The time it takes to process a translation depends upon the length and difficulty of the text, the desired language combination and the quality of the manuscript. Please bear in mind that a professional specialist translator can translate a maximum of 10 to 15 pages per day on average. In the case of difficult texts and uncommon languages, translators need proportionately more time. When choosing your desired delivery date, please consider the increased workload and time required for additional work, e.g. for text adaptation, proofreading, foreign-language typesetting, editing, graphic design, printing, etc.

➋ Order Details

• The desired language combination
• The target country of the translation
• Whether the translation is to be certified by a sworn translator
• Whether the translation is to be published
• Any requests in terms of formatting and conversion, as well as which end product you require
