Process

How a project runs from upload to delivery, turnaround times, and what we need from you.

01How long does a standard translation project take?▾

Delivery dates are confirmed after reviewing the files, language set, review level and formatting needs. The quotation response time is separate from translation completion. A short file, complex regulatory set and multi-language release should not be assigned the same fixed timetable.

02What file formats do you accept and deliver?▾

All common formats: Word (.docx), PDF, PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx), InDesign (.indd), HTML/XML, DITA, XLIFF, PO files, JSON, .strings/.resx resource files, and subtitle formats (SRT, VTT, SBV).

03Is original formatting preserved in the final delivery?▾

Confirm the expected source and delivery formats, editable assets and layout scope in the brief. Tables, callouts and references are checked within the agreed service. Complex PDF, InDesign and right-to-left layouts may need separately scoped DTP; mirrored layout is not an automatic operation.

04Can I track project progress in real time?▾

The project manager provides progress updates through agreed channels, usually email or a scheduled call. Confirm milestone and reporting needs at kickoff. This page does not promise a live client portal or automatic dashboard access.

05What happens if I need to add content after a project starts?▾

Send the new version and identify what changed. We assess the impact on translation, review, layout and delivery, then confirm any supplemental scope and quote. Additions below 10% are not automatically free, and the acknowledgement deadline is not a supplemental-quotation guarantee.

06Do you offer urgent / rush delivery?▾

Send the files and required deadline for a feasibility check. Rush work and any surcharge are confirmed in the quote; no universal 24–48-hour delivery or minimum review duration applies. Safety and regulatory checks should not be silently removed to meet a date.
