DOCUMENT TRANSLATIONDocument translation
Scope is defined narrowly here. The written confirmation states the document types covered, the language pair, the intended use and the delivery window; anything beyond it is quoted separately before extra work starts. Clear boundaries come first: the scope names what is included, what stays out, and what the receiving institution requires the client to confirm. That written scope is the reference for every later question about volume or price.
Scope and boundaries
document translation covers the document types named in the written scope and stops there. The scope records what is included, what stays out, and what the receiving institution requires the client to confirm. Beyond those terms, work is quoted separately before it starts. To move forward, send the file for evaluation; the written scope is then issued from what the file actually contains. Files that fall inside this scope go through the same documented path regardless of where the request was filed.

Typical documents
A PDF for the file can contain a text layer, scanned pages or both in one file; the scope separates them so the OCR pass is charged only where it is actually run. PDF files arrive as searchable text, scanned images or a mix of both; the scope for this request records which parts need OCR before translation and which are translated directly from the source layer. This page covers the document types grouped under the delivered document; the scope is issued per file, not per category.
Submit file for evaluationHow the process works
Step 1 — Submission
Submission with confirmation of receipt. Intake confirms what arrived and records the file name, page count and format.
Step 2 — Written scope
A written scope fixing formats, deadline and price factors. The scope fixes the terms before any work starts.
Step 3 — Translation
Translation is performed by an assigned translator with independent review. The translation passes an independent review.
Document translation
Delivery with control note
Delivery ships with a control note, so review on the client side is quick and complete. The control note records every terminology decision and the checks performed.
Cost factors
Pricing is based on four factors confirmed in the written quote: volume, layout complexity, repetition and delivery window. Nothing is added after the quote without written confirmation.
Expedited orders
The same documented path applies to expedited orders: the faster window is confirmed in the scope with the review round unchanged, so speed does not remove the second pair of eyes.
What we do not promise
The receiving institution decides whether document translation is acceptable in the form delivered; the scope records the intended use so that requirement can be confirmed with them before work begins. What is not promised for this request matters as much as what is: no guarantee that a specific authority accepts a given format, and no notarial or consular step performed by the translation team unless it is named in the scope.

Delivery and files
The standard path for the file is translation, independent review, assembly, release; the scope fixes the date and the control note records that each step happened. Delivery of this request defaults to an encrypted link with the control note attached; where an original must move physically, tracked post is used and the tracking reference is written into the same record. Paper output for the delivered document is produced only where a receiving body requires an original; the request is stated in the scope and the posted copy travels by tracked service with the reference recorded.
Submit file for evaluationWhat drives the price
For the file, volume is counted on the translated text after OCR, not on the raw character count of the received file. Repetition inside this request is reported to the client before ordering; the quote shows how repeated segments are treated so the number is not a surprise. The delivery window is a priced factor for the delivered document; an expedited window changes the sequence of work and is quoted as such, not absorbed silently.

Files for the file go out through an encrypted channel with the control note attached; physical originals move by tracked post and the reference is recorded. Open points are not closed by assumption: anything unresolved about this request at handover is listed explicitly so the client-side review stFiles for the file go out through an encrypted channel with the control note attached; physical originals move by tracked post and the reference is recorded.
