How to choose translation services

Understand translation services scope, compare proposals and prepare a brief before contacting providers.

Define the scope

Translation requirements depend on the language pair, subject matter and receiving organisation. General translation does not automatically meet certified or official submission requirements. Confirm the recipient's rules directly before choosing a provider for legal, academic or administrative documents.

What to compare between providers

  • Ask about experience with your subject and exact language direction.
  • Agree on terminology, review, formatting and confidentiality.
  • Confirm any certification requirement with the receiving organisation.

Prepare a useful request for a quote

  • Share the document format, length, audience and intended use.
  • Explain whether layout, proofreading or transcription is required.
  • Identify the deadline and any recipient-specific submission instructions.
