To get an estimate for a translation project, please do:
Send us (by E-mail, courier, drop-by) a specimen of what you need to be translated, of good quality, on acceptable media (printout, scan, electronic file, etc.) and call us.
Please do not forget to mention the total estimated volume, time limits and constraints, source and target languages, type of text or field of specialization, contact person and contact phone (E-mail / alike), type and level of certification / accreditation / notarization / legalization (if needed), type of media for input and output, other relevant and pertaining information.
We shall do an evaluation and advise you on how much time will be needed for the job turnaround, estimate the price and availability of special resources (if needed).
Then we shall inform you of all above, agree on details and start implementing the project.

interpretation minimal time is 3 (three) and usual time is 4 (four) or more
hours per assignment.
Simultaneous
interpretation needs special equipment and min. 2 (better 3) interpreters per
booth.
Urgent work
always costs more than non-urgent.
Big projects from
new clients require 50% prepayment in cleared funds to start the work.
N.B. we usually do not consider projects with
prices less than 0.08$/word or 25$/hour,
usual minimal price for a translation / revision is $45.
If somewhere else
the price seems to be too low, maybe the quality is not very high either. We do
not undertake low-quality price-cutting projects, thanks.
We are for profit
company. We can also negotiate and make our cooperation mutually beneficial.
We invite
intermediaries, go-betweens, brokers, agents, referrals, etc. but please inform
us in advance, and you get up to 5%.
Please call us, write us, come to see us, and let us do what we are good at for your benefit.
We deliver in
