Welcome to our comprehensive guide on Quality Levels and Pricing, designed to provide clarity on the diverse tiers of translation quality we offer and the corresponding pricing structure. Whether you're seeking optimal accuracy or a cost-effective solution, this guide will empower you to make informed decisions tailored to your specific translation needs.

Pricing

We offer a comprehensive range of quality levels tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients, spanning from fully AI-generated multilingual content to expert translations by professionals specialized in areas like SEO or industry-specific knowledge. Our approach emphasizes personalized solutions in both quality and pricing, ensuring that each company receives translations aligned with their unique requirements.

Determining the appropriate quality level for your translations depends on factors such as the complexity and intended use of your source text. Our team of experts is readily available to assist you in selecting the optimal quality level for your texts and guiding you toward achieving your translation objectives.

Please note: Our pricing is calculated on a per-word basis, with rates varying for specific languages. For instance, Scandinavian languages such as Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Finnish may have distinct pricing considerations due to various factors. We recommend reviewing the details for accurate information on language-specific rates.

Which quality levels can be ordered?

Translation Memory (TM) For each of these qualities, it is important to remember that we offer a Translations memory (TM) which ensures that you never pay for the translation of the same sentence twice. Only new phrases will be sent for translation therefore, the more requests you place, the greater your TM will become, which will in turn decrease both your overall costs and turnaround times.
