• Client submits outline details of the job type by means of the on-line form and a sample text by e-mail/fax/post or courier (we suggest this is sent as a Word attachment to trans@lingualearn.co.uk).
• We quote a price and turn around time based on certain factors such as length of the document, standard of presentation required and the degree of subject speciality.
• The translation is despatched either physically or electronically, according to the client's preference.
• Payment can be made online using a credit card, by bank transfer or cheque.

Our translators are encouraged to contact clients directly whenever it seems necessary to clarify ambiguities, suggest improvements to the original text, or to put forward modifications considered necessary due to cultural factors.

One main difference between our services and those of our competitors is that we mainly use specialist translators e.g. medical translators to work on medical texts. As we are the main translation agency for a large multi-national medical company, we have a very large database of specialist medical translators and proof-readers.

Our translation rates vary considerably depending on the language and technical difficulty, but a good guide would be £100 to £200 [approx' $160 to $320 US, EUR 160 to 320, $200 to $400 CAN] per 1000 words for a high quality translation.  Our quotations for translation work normally include the cost of professional translation fees and transmission by e-mail or fax, but exclude VAT, proof reading (by a second proof-reader/translator), graphics, and the cost of courier services.  Proof reading (by a second proof-reader/translator) costs an extra £30-60 per 1000 words. Extra charges are made for urgent work/rush jobs involving evenings, weekends, nightwork and bank holidays (10% to 50% extra) and working with original texts/hard copies (10% to 30% extra). Short texts of 1 to 5000 words tend to be more expensive, whereas longer texts of more than 50,000 words tend to be less expensive. Costs for typesetting will be quoted according to the complexity of the layout, the typeface required, the language and the file format.

The minimum order for translation is currently £100. [approx' $160 US, EUR 160, $200 CAN].

We also offer a comprehensive multilingual document service, including design, printing and distribution.

Another option is the creation of a company-specific multi-lingual glossary.  This is a list of key words translated into two or more languages.  The glossary may be supplied in different formats: on handy laminated cards with languages in different colours, electronically (e.g. in a spreadsheet), or incorporated into a translation software package.  These glossaries speed up the process of translation, help to maintain consistency, and act as a handy reference tool for all your employees.  The cost of these glossaries will depend on format, number of words, and degree of technical difficulty.  As a rough guide, we can supply a pack of 100 laminated cards with a glossary of 80 key words or short phrases in 4 languages (e.g. English, French, German and  Spanish) for £600 (including the cost of printing, lamination, postage and packing, but not VAT).[approx' $950 US, EUR 950, $1300 CAN]
