Beware of translation outfits that promise the lowest price in the market. If they charge at-cost rates, what is their incentive to add value to your product or service?
If you think our services are expensive, ask yourself this question: "Expensive as compared to what exactly?" A bilingual receptionist may make $15/hr but does not have the skills to translate with efficiency and appropriateness. Translation is not about switching words but interpreting meanings and cultural context with precision.
A good technical document in Spanish reads as if it had been originally written in Spanish. Typographical conventions are observed and appropriate document design techniques are implemented. It is not enough that readers understand the information but that they use it immediately without undue distractions.
If you are looking for language services, you determine the level of quality control for the translation you are paying for. Our job is to be an unobtrusive translator, so that your document fulfills its mission without interference due to unsuitable style or vocabulary. Needless to say, the more we know about your company, its services and the objectives of your project, the better we will be able to serve you.
