Rates and Discounts
We do not use complex pricing schemes with minimum charges or extras fees. In fact, our clients often qualify for special discounts, if and when, our work with the text is simplified.
DTP for most popular formats is already included in the above prices. This service is offered for most of the common formats: PDF, Excel, AutoCAD, QuarkXPress, XML, Interleaf, PageMaker, and Adobe Illustrator. Documents in Microsoft Word with a simple layout qualify for a discount.
Like all modern translation services, we use the latest technology, such as translation memory systems, during the translation of your texts. This means that our clients never pay double for having the same sentence translated twice. So, for example, if the phrase ‘Press the On button’ appears repeatedly in your instruction manual, you pay only once for the translation of this phrase.
When you commission us to translate multiple texts on a similar topic, it is likely that phrases will appear more than once not only in the same text but also across texts. Translation memory systems ensure that you only ever pay once for the same phrase in multiple texts, even if you come back to us after a few years.
Should you need to alter a few words or phrases in the original text or slightly modify its format, we are happy to make the necessary adjustments in the translated text free of charge.
Ilves Translations does not have a minimum charge. Our clients only ever pay for the exact amount of words they need to be translated, even if it is only 100 or even 50 words.
