Whenever a prospective client has a need for Spanish translation services, we generally get a call and there are a few standard questions that people will ask. How much does it cost? How soon can we get it? And what are the qualifications of your translators? There are sometimes other questions, those these are the most common.

Cost: We determine the cost of Spanish translation projects by assigning a per word rate to the project and then multiplying the rate by the number of words. The per word rate is determined based on several criteria including the relative complexity of the subject matter, the length of the project, and the delivery schedule.

Delivery Schedule: This varies with the length of the project. We always attempt to meet the schedule needs of clients. Most projects we do require a few days to a couple weeks. Shorter schedules can mean assigning more translators to the project. Whenever possible we prefer to have the same translator/editor/reviewer team do a complete project end-to-end to maintain continuity.

Translator Qualifications: All translators are experienced professionals and native to the target language. That is, for English-to-Spanish translation work the linguist’s first language will be Spanish, though fluent in English. The reverse is true for Spanish-to-English translation work.
