Business Translation Services

Translation companies are service businesses, and customers will primarily liaise with a project management team. This team will take your content and charge a fee to translate it to your chosen languages. A project manager will use a machine translation tool to help build a translation memory, reducing the cost and turnaround of your translations over time. The translators are individually vetted and tested before commencing client projects. Most of the work is done remotely and delivered via cloud-based project management systems.

Businesses looking to expand their customer base in new territories will hire a translation company to help them translate their products, sales and marketing materials and support documentation. They can also assist with localising promotions, sales funnels and social media. For businesses with established systems, rapid growth is possible with the right translation services partner.

Most translation companies charge per word for the translation work. They'll review the material to calculate the number of repeat phrases (fuzzy and exact matches) and provide a scaling price that increases with more levels of quality assurance. Translation rates depend on the source and target language. The complexity of the source language, e.g. medical or technical text, will also impact the cost. It's best to contact a few agencies to check prices as you can't always rely on the price stated on the website.

No. Translating a company name is rarely required because it is a legal entity. If the company name is a statement or acronym, or if it will confuse or offend the audience, then it may be appropriate to include a translation for clarity. The translation will be added in italics after the company name, between square brackets.
