- Translation deals with the written word.
- Interpreting deals with the spoken word.
Translation is charged per word, the price can vary depending on the subject matter and format of the text as well as the urgency of the translation. Please email me your document and I will send you a quote as soon as possible. Proofreading is generally charged per word or per hour and varies depending on the quality of the translation to be proofread. Interpreting is charged on the basis of a half day or full day rate and varies depending on the type of interpreting required.
Generally speaking, I translate around 2,000 words per day although this can vary if you have an urgent project. The longer the deadline you can provide, the more time I have to translate and read over the text before sending you the final version. This will lead to a better end result.
As a professional translator, I only translate written documents into my mother tongue, which is English. This ensures the highest level of quality and accuracy.
However, I collaborate with a network of trusted and qualified linguists should you require a translation from English into another language.
With regard to interpreting, I do translate from English into Spanish. This is because many interpreting assignments require me to work in both directions to facilitate communication.
Absolutely, I abide by the Code of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Institute of Linguists and take confidentiality very seriously.
