Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. PoliLingua works with over 100+ languages and thousands of language pairs. Our network includes more than 10,000 professionally vetted, native-speaking linguists located globally to ensure cultural accuracy and local nuance.

Delivery time depends on the project's volume, complexity, and language pair. As a general rule, a professional translator can process approximately 2,000–2,500 words per day.

• Urgent projects: We offer express delivery options for tight deadlines.
• Large-scale projects: For high-volume tasks (like large technical manuals or website localizations), we can assign multiple linguists and a dedicated project manager to accelerate the timeline.
• Personalized Consultation: Because every assignment is unique, each project can be discussed in detail with our Localization Project Manager to establish a customized timeline that fits your specific goals.

The primary difference lies in the official recognition and the purpose of the document. Here is a breakdown:

Professional Translation: This is the go-to choice for business and creative content. It is suitable for marketing materials, websites, internal corporate documents, and general correspondence where the goal is high-quality communication and brand consistency.

Certified (Authorized) Translation: This is required for legal, official, or governmental purposes. It includes a formal, signed, and stamped Statement of Accuracy from PoliLingua. This certification is typically mandatory for:

• Official records (Birth/Marriage certificates).
• Legal contracts and court transcripts.
• Immigration papers (USCIS) or academic applications.
• Submissions to bodies like the ATA (American Translators Association) or equivalent international authorities.
  
  

Pro Tip: If you are submitting documents to a court, embassy, or university, always opt for Certified Translation to ensure your documents are legally recognized.

We follow a multi-step Quality Assurance (QA) process:

• Selection: We assign a native linguist with expertise in your specific industry (medical, legal, technical, IT, etc.).
• Translation & Review: The text is translated and then reviewed by a second linguist to check for accuracy, style, and grammar.
• Project Management: A dedicated project manager performs a final check to ensure the file format and instructions meet your specific requirements.
• Certifications: PoliLingua is a member of GALA, ATA, ELIA, and ITI and adheres to international industry standards.

To ensure your project remains on schedule and technical requirements are handled correctly, you will work with a Localization Project Manager. They act as your single point of contact, coordinating with translators, editors, and technical staff to streamline the process.

Pricing is typically based on:

• Word count: The total number of words in the source document.
• Language pair: Some rare languages have fewer available specialists.
• Complexity: Highly technical, medical, or legal texts require specialized subject-matter experts.
• Turnaround time: Rush orders may incur a surcharge.
