Is Translation Expensive? There Are Alternatives to an Expensive Translation Agency.

It takes a lot of time to translate a text. Try it yourself and see! Take a document that is written in Spanish, French or other language you know, and proceed to produce the exact same message, sentence for sentence, word for word in your native language, for example, English.

You will notice that it takes a lot of time and that some sentences may take you up to five minutes, because there is one word that has to be interpreted a little differently. Or, because there is something in the original text that we “just don’t say like that.” Or, you encounter a word you have never heard before. Therefore, you look up the word, and, instead of finding a simple English translation, you find five possible translations, all with different meanings.

A professional translator cannot perform miracles and has to translate the text by hand in the same way. Of course, it would take a translator a lot less time than it would you; but it would still take a lot of time. This is particularly the case if the text is of a special nature. If the text is going to be used to market products to potential customers, or to record agreements made with a business partner, it would probably be prudent to have the text translated by a professional translator.

However, the text may only be used for internal purposes. Or the translation may only need to be read by a couple of people. Or, it may not matter if the translation is not perfect. “As long as we know what it says”, is what we often hear people say. Fasttranslator.com has a special solution for this type of text.

Less Expensive Translation, Lower Translation Rates.

Fasttranslator.com Translation Agency has a special department that handles these types of translations. Texts that don’t have a tight deadline are translated by junior translators: www.budgettranslations.com/en-US_Pricing.htm. These are still good quality translations because they are handled by translators who are just starting their career (www.budgettranslations.com/en-US_Home.htm). Our translation agency’s senior staff guides them and checks their work. These beginning translators have often just graduated with a degree in translation, or they are in the last year of their translation training. You can contact us at the following address for a lower price: www.budgettranslations.com/en-US_Pricing.htm.

The Budgettranslations.com can result in much lower rates for your translations in the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.

We also have greatly reduced rates for these languages: Arabic, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Korean, Kurdish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovene, Swedish, Thai, Turkish and Ukrainian.

Because there are less translators available relatively speaking, the difference in translation costs may not be that extreme. However, you can still save about 30% in translation costs by placing your translation project with this translation agency.
