Unlike large agencies, with the French Linguistics translation service you'll deal directly with a language expert who will give a personal level of attention to your project. You'll also be dealing with a professional programmer and IT expert giving you a unique level of service in the case of specialist IT translations.

The service is therefore designed for cases where translation quality and accuracy is the prevailing factor, for example because you need to give the best impression to your customers, or avoid misunderstandings with your international colleagues and business partners. Whilst the service is aimed at customers who want quality, prices are nonethless competitive as dealing directly with a translator avoids a lot of the overheads of larger agencies.

N.B. All translations are performed by experienced native speakers of the languages involved, in conjunction with other experts where necessary.

How to get your document/web site translated

To get your document or web site translated please e-mail translation@french-linguistics.co.uk. Please indicate in your e-mail:

which language(s) you are interseted in (languages other than French are available!);
where appropriate, where you target markets are (so that a language variant can be picked to best suit your needs);
what format you require the translation in, if different from the original;
either the document(s) that you need translated as an attachment, or else an indication of the approximate word count and technical fields (where appropriate) involved;
if you require the translation within a specific deadline, what your required timescale is.

You will receive a reply with an indication of the cost of the translation and when it can be ready by (or the cost to have it ready by your deadline if you stipulate one). Note that more than one pricing option may be suggested to you, to allow you to make a price/timescale tradeoff that's appropriate for you.

How do I know this is a better service than I'll get elsewhere?

With the French Linguistics translation service, you'll be in direct contact with a language specialist, not a call centre. With this personalised service, every step of the way, the translator(s) working on your project will be dedicated to making sure the translation meets your needs.

If you're not sure whether this is the service for you, why not contact translation@french-linguistics.co.uk. If you can provide a sample of a translation produced by another provider for some free advice on how the French Linguistics service could improve your translation or work better to your needs. Alternatively, why not send a brief overview of your company's translation needs for some no-strings information on the kind of services that we might be able to provide to suit those needs?

Discounts

Discounts may be offered for:

large or regular volumes;

translations for students, charities and NGOs (for charities and NGOs, I may be able to offer free translation in exchange for a link from your organisation's web site);
extended deadlines;
agreement to include the translation in the publicly accessible translation examples database.

If you think any of these apply to you, please state so in your initial enquiry.
