Services · per language, per project
Three kinds of page, each read slowly.
Ink still wet on a consent form. A fold-out leaflet creased along the same line a hundred times. A questionnaire answered with a thumb, on a ward at night. These are the pages we carry into other languages, and every price below includes the certified linguist who reads them twice.

Stitched onto any project
The second and third pair of eyes.
Back-translation is the check that makes a regulator nod: a linguist who has never seen your source turns the finished text back into English, and every place the meaning drifted is written down and settled.

Before you ask for a quote
Small print, read aloud.
The questions a finance lead and a regulatory lead ask when they first look at the numbers.
Why is the price per language?
Each language gets its own translator, its own certified reviewer and its own back-translator. Three languages is three separate chains of readers, so it is three separate prices.
When do I pay?
By invoice after delivery. There is no deposit and no retainer.
What if my file is longer than the “up to” word count?
We count words in the files you send and quote the extra at a per-word rate, in writing, before work starts.
Can I get a quote before the files are final?
Yes. Call and describe the document; a ballpark comes by phone, and the written quote follows within one business day of receiving the files.
Do you work outside the languages listed on the home page?
Often. Ask by phone and we will tell you honestly whether we have a certified reviewer for it.
