Things to Consider and when to expect your translation
Translations can take varying amounts of time to complete depending on the source language, language pair, size of the document, and the type of translation needed.
Translation turnaround times can range from same-day delivery for smaller projects to weeks for larger ones.
When ordering a professional translation, make sure you provide enough information about the project to the translator or company so that they can give you an exact turnaround time.
If you have any specific needs for your translation project, such as using a Translation Memory (TM), make sure you let the translator know in advance.
Doing this will help them accurately estimate the time for translation and ensure quality translation for your project.
When using machine translation or translation software, the speed of delivery is usually much faster than a professional translation.
However, keep in mind that it may not be as accurate as a human translation and may need more work if you want a high-quality result.
To ensure timely translation for all your future translation projects, try to get a quote and turnaround time before placing an order.
That way, you can plan and be sure that your source document will be translated correctly and on time.
