Unlike a human translator, a machine translator does not recognize the context of a document. In addition, some machine translation platforms use English as an intermediate language between two languages, which increases the risk of error.

While machine translation may have made significant advances in recent years, it remains one of several translation tools to assist translators understand the overall meaning of a text as a whole. It can never replace a human translator, who will understand all aspects of a project and add a human dimension, essential grammatical accuracy and nuance to the text. Only competent human translators can produce a translation that takes into account all the subtleties and ambiguities of the text. The result will look like a text written directly in the target language. Humans, not machines, still control the project itself and have the final say in translation decisions. We recommend that you do not entrust your documents intended for publication to this type of platform because the result can be unfortunate.

In short, only a professional translator can provide a quality end‑product that guarantees your credibility with your clients and vendors.

If you need an urgent translation, please contact one of our project managers, who will review the feasibility of delivering your project within the deadlines indicated. If a large volume of words is involved, this usually involves splitting the document among several translators for further review by an editor to reduce inconsistencies.

In general, the price of a translation is calculated according to several criteria: the number of words to be translated in the source document, the language combination, the nature of the document, the sector of activity, the desired deadline, etc. If the services of a specialized translator are required, or if the text is highly technical, the rate per word will be higher than normal. If additional services are required, such as typesetting, the rate per word will also be higher. Do you have any questions or concerns? Need more information? Do not hesitate to contact us

Sworn translation is an official translation service that can only be performed by certified translators-interpreters in each country. Unlike simple professional translations, certified or sworn translations have a legal value before official bodies. In addition, they must be issued on paper, as they must include the translator-interpreter’s stamp and signature, among other things. In this way, the latter legally certifies the authenticity and accuracy of the content of the translation.

However, this requirement may vary depending on the organization in question or the type of document. Therefore, it is necessary to know exactly what type of translation is needed in each case. If you do not know your exact needs, please contact us and we will be happy to help you.

No, the price per word of the source text is the standard in the professional translation industry. This price is transparent and leaves no room for unpleasant surprises. We provide customized translations that are culturally and technically adapted to your needs. 

Yes, we can make changes once the translation has started. However, depending on the progress of the translation and if a considerable amount of text is to be added, a surcharge may apply. Delivery time may also be affected. Do not hesitate to consult with your project manager. 

Yes, you can. In addition to translations, Accuracy Value also proofreads texts in all languages. Email your document to Accuracy value so that we can estimate the price for the requested revision. Please note that we do not accept texts that have been previously translated by automatic translators. This is a daunting task for translators. Not only do they have to find possible grammatical, syntactical and punctuation errors, inconsistencies in relation to the source text, etc., but they also have to completely reformulate the text so that it conforms to the ethical standards of the profession. Moreover, the end result would not be a natural translation at all. Wouldn’t it be easier to translate the text directly?

See our proofreading services for more details.

All you have to do is provide us with the document you wish to have it translated. It’s as simple as that! Wherever possible, please provide us with any reference documents with similar content or, better yet, previous translations of other documents in the same field of activity.

These can be of great help and speed up the translation process. In addition, we may identify recurring terms and translation options (especially in the case of older translations) that we can reuse to ensure the consistency of your document in relation to other texts.
