Yes, because they require more resources. We can provide you with exact quotes for rush jobs. If we cannot guarantee that we can finish the project in the desired timeframe, we will propose a delivery date as close to the desired date as possible.

You can pay directly by bank transfer, PayPal or Skrill. Generally, we prefer not to receive checks since the costs for cashing checks are relatively high and the client’s responsibility. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you need more information about methods of payment.

Proofreading means the revision of a translation done by a third party. If that translation has too many problems — which is often the case with machine translation or if a text was translated by a non-native speaker – then we have to verify the translation against the source text. If the correction requires as much time as a new translation, the quote will reflect this. If the quality of the translation is so low that we have to produce an entirely new translation, our usual translation rates apply.If the quality is relatively high and the translation requires only small corrections (spelling, grammar, style, etc.), the applied rate is usually one-third of that of a translation.

We usually decline translation request that require the services of a sworn translator, which we are not. For regular clients, we do however delegate these documents to a sworn translator.

Absolutely not, unless you ask us explicitly to translate the text this way. The target text will be impeccable, even if the source is terrible. Please note, however, that if the source text is unclear, the translation process will take longer and the translator may have questions in order to ensure that they fully understand the information they are supposed to translate.

In general, we translate to and from English, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and German. However, for regular customers, we offer many additional languages.

If a text contains almost identical passages, the translation process is obviously faster and we generally agree on a discount. If this is the case with your text, please let us know when you request your quote.

We currently don’t.

A glossary is a tool for the professional management of highly technical texts. It ensures consistency between different parts of the text that may be assigned to several translators, as well as between various documents dealing with the same subject. It’s also the best way to ensure a smooth and fast translation process. Therefore, if you have a glossary, please don’t hesitate to let us know so that we can follow the terminology to the letter.

We prefer not to work with paper documents. If you need us to translate a paper document, please scan it and send it to us as image or PDF file.

All invoices should be paid no later than 30 days after the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by BeTranslated. Unpaid invoices will be subject to a 15% service charge (with a minimum of 50 Euros) per reminder without any prior notification.
