Translation Services
Translation is the process of rendering the written word of one language into the written word of another language without loss of meaning. Translation centers on the written word, whereas interpretation involves spoken language.
aboutLanguage Inc. performs certified and legal translations into and from virtually any language, and any language script. Our team of translators are skilled professionals and work in their native tongue.
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance is not just one step of a larger process – it is the process. From initial consultation to completion, steps are built into the process to insure each translation is a true and accurate rendition of the original document. Our team of editors reviews the translation for precision, resulting in accurate translations 100% each time.
Document Types
We perform translations for a variety of document types. Our translations are commonly used for:
- immigration requirements
- status adjustment
- motor vehicle administrations
- adoption process
- entry into American higher education institutions
- medical documentation
- marriage or divorce procedures
- death certificates
Document Rates
Because there are so many different variables that can affect the cost of a translation, it is not possible to provide a simple rate table here. Our rates are based on five factors:
- source type (paper, electronic, or media)
- content type (required specialty area)
- language
- formatting
- length
Volume discounts are available for long documents. To discuss rates or for a free rate quote, contact the Sales Department.
