How to Choose the Right Translation & Localization Service
Translation & Localization covers turning your digital and printed content into accurate, culturally‑aware versions for new markets. It’s meant for businesses that need website copy or technical documents adapted for specific languages and audiences.
Service Types at a Glance
We currently offer two focused services:
- Website Content Translation – per‑language conversion of site text, SEO keywords, currency symbols and cultural references.
- Document Translation – technical or commercial files translated on a per‑page basis, preserving terminology and layout.
Website translation is ideal for e‑commerce platforms, marketing sites, and SaaS dashboards that require localized UI strings and search terms. Document translation suits product manuals, contracts, and whitepapers where exact terminology is critical.
Key Considerations Before Ordering
Before you select a service, review these points to ensure a smooth project:
- Which language pair(s) are required?
- Is SEO optimisation or currency adaptation needed?
- What is the nature of the source material (web pages, PDFs, CAD drawings, etc.)?
- Are there confidentiality or compliance requirements?
- Do you expect multiple revision rounds?
Clarifying these items early helps us match the right expertise and avoid scope changes later in the workflow.
Preparing an Effective Brief
A clear brief speeds up the quote and delivery stages. Include:
- One‑paragraph description of the project, its purpose and target audience.
- All source files – text exports, screenshots, PDFs, or design files.
- Any specific terminology, branding guidelines, or SEO keywords you want preserved.
Quality Assurance & Revision Process
All deliveries pass a linguistic review by native speakers and are formatted to match the original layout. The quote states how many revision rounds are included.
- Initial translation by a specialist in the relevant domain.
- Proofreading and cultural QA by a second native reviewer.
- Final formatting and delivery of source files.
Our standard workflow consists of three steps: send the brief, receive a fixed‑price quote within one business day, and get the completed files with source assets and the agreed number of revision rounds.

Frequently asked questions
How do I decide whether to use Website Content Translation or Document Translation?
Choose Website Content Translation if you need full website pages, SEO terms, and UI elements adapted for a target market. Opt for Document Translation when you have technical manuals, contracts, or other printed materials that require precise terminology on a per‑page basis.
What is generally included in a translation delivery?
Deliveries include the translated text, any necessary SEO adjustments, currency formatting, and a version of the original file with the translation embedded. Source files are provided, and the number of revision rounds is defined in the quote.
How does the brief‑to‑quote process work?
You send a brief describing the project and attach the source files. Within one business day we return a fixed‑price quote that outlines scope, price, delivery date, and revision limits. Work starts only after you approve the quote.
What file types should I provide for translation?
Provide the native format of your content—HTML or CMS exports for websites, PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, or design files for documents. Clear, editable files help us preserve layout and reduce turnaround time.
How many revision rounds are typically allowed?
The number of revision rounds is specified in the quote. It covers minor tweaks to wording, terminology, or formatting to ensure the final product meets your expectations.
