A translation agency often consists of freelance native translators who specialise in translating texts.

They deliver high quality that is not comparable to the results from a translation machine such as Google Translate. When your texts need to be flawless, it is wise to work with a professional translation agency.

A translation agency ensures that your document is written in another language. In addition, a translation agency guarantees the quality of the translation, works with professionals and closely monitors its own work. Revision rounds minimise translation errors.

If you want to have a text translated, the agency will look for suitable translators for your translation project. You should expect a translation agency to respond quickly to a request. A translation agency may specialise in a specific sector or field such as medical translations, legal translations, technical translations and translations in the tourism sector.

The cost of translating a text through a translation agency depends on the length of the text to be translated and the language into which or from which it will be translated.

In addition, there are texts that require special expertise, which entails a cost. Consider, for example, certain legal texts. At Translation Office, you can quickly and easily request a quotation to determine your translation costs.

A translation agency often has one or more specialisations that allow it to translate texts from a particular sector or field well. There are also many forms and variations in types of texts. In addition to industry specialisations, translation agencies also have expertise in certain text forms such as: web texts, general terms and conditions, medical leaflets, articles of association etc.

Good translation agencies work with native translators. Often, you read that agencies work with native speakers instead of native translators, but there is a difference.

A native speaker has learned his or her native language naturally because he or she grew up in an environment where the language is spoken. Sometimes multiple languages are spoken, and then the double-native principle applies.

A native translator is skilled at translating texts and has often followed a training course for this purpose. When you speak a language well, this does not always mean that you can also translate texts well. Freelancers at Translation Office are therefore not only native speakers but above all native translators.

If you are looking for a good translation agency, it is advisable to read the customer experiences on Google Review or on the translation agency's website. Also check the overview of current customers to see if the translation agency has experience in your industry.

Working with a translation agency has many advantages. For example, a good translation agency has a large number of native translators who can be deployed quickly for your translation. A good translation agency also has all the knowledge and expertise you need for the type of document you want to translate. Of course, a legal document requires completely different prior knowledge than a marketing text.

A sworn translator is a special kind of translator. These translators are legally authorised to translate certain documents for which a sworn oath is required. These are documents with an official or legal status such as a birth certificate, a driving licence, documents for legal cases, a diploma, emigration documents, a will or a marriage certificate.

If you want to have a document with an official or legal status translated, you will need a sworn translator. These are translators who are legally authorised to translate certain documents such as a birth certificate, a driving licence, legal documents in court cases, a diploma, emigration documents, a will or a marriage certificate.

No, a sworn translation is no better than a translation done by a native translator. The choice of a sworn translator depends on the type of document to be translated. Certain official documents, such as birth certificates, diplomas and other documents issued by public or official bodies, must be translated by sworn translators in order to be usable for official purposes.

The costs for a translation depend on various factors, such as the urgency of the translation, the length of the document, the languages involved in translation, and whether specialized knowledge is required for the task. These factors influence the per-word rate and the overall cost of the entire translation.

Translation agencies typically use 'base' rates for specific translations, where one rate may be higher than another. Translations that involve significant specialized knowledge or require certification often incur higher costs per word.
