Translation rates
Our rate per word is based on the language pair, the domain and the scope of the translation. We offer our services at competitive rates. Cheaper alternatives exist, but at the expense of the quality, service and speed we provide. Translation Agency Perfect is the most competitively priced ISO-9001 and ISO-17100 certified translation agency that allows you to pay your invoice after delivery.
Translation solutions
We offer three (translation) solutions with fixed prices and benefits.
Economy:
The text is translated by a professional native translator complying with ISO standards. After translation, this text is partially checked. This provides a more competitive rate, but the text is not fully checked. Therefore, ISO-17100 does not apply here.
Excellent:
The text is translated by a professional native translator who meets the ISO standards. After translation, this text is fully revised by an experienced proofreader. This results in a higher rate, but the text is completely checked. Therefore, ISO-17100 does apply here.
Express:
The text is translated by a professional native translator who meets ISO standards. We speak of an express translation when the translation must be ready on the day of request or when more than 2,000 words per day have to be translated. Speed is the key here, but not at the expense of quality.
How payments and quantity discounts work
We will first send you a free quote. If you accept our offer, you will receive the invoice based on our offer along with your finished translation. For particularly large translations, we offer quantity discounts. Use our online calculator to calculate the total price of your translation. The estimated price includes any quantity discounts.
Long-term collaborations
We have long-term collaborations with many different companies and organisations, both big and small. In many cases, these collaborations resulted from excellent customer satisfaction and because there was always a constant demand for translations. There are many benefits to a partnership with Translation Agency Perfect. These include fixed rates and consistency in the translations. But it also means a faster workflow in general due to immediate approval of quote requests, which saves valuable time. Want to know more about (long-term) collaborations? Feel free to contact us.

When it comes to large projects, it goes without saying you want the translation process to be absolutely perfect. Do you have a large translation (a translation of 5,000 words or more), or are you looking for a long-term collaboration (for more than 5,000 words per annum)? In that case, we can offer you a free test translation (max. 300 words). This is an excellent opportunity for us to show you our quality standards, and to prove that we are the Perfect translation partner for you. Ask for a free test translation here.

Translation technology
Translation memory
Our translation memory software can recognise repeated and previously translated texts. This increases the consistency of the translation and prevents extra costs. Previously translated texts are saved in the translation memory. Each client has their own translation memory.
Terminology list
If a specific translation or tone of voice is requested, this can be stored in the terminology list. These translations will then be suggested to the translator during the translation process. This improves the consistency of the translation and allows for special requests to be accommodated.
Quality control
In addition to a second check by a human translator, we apply an automatic quality control check. This includes stylistic improvements as well as a spell check and overall translation review. This aids the translator and revisor to better find mistakes in the texts as well as to improve the consistency of the translation.
Our procedure for a Perfect translation
We receive the text to be translated and any special requests regarding your translation
This can be easily done via our online quote form, email or WeTransfer. Let us know exactly what your specific wishes are. This way, we can get off to a good start.
We diligently review your request
This enables us to discover the story behind the words. We can decipher what must be included in order to properly express the translated message. We then check the text(s) to see if it is appropriate to use a translation memory.

Who are we?
Frequently asked questions for Translation Agency Perfect
We offer three translation options: Economy, Excellent and Express.
Economy:
The text will be translated by a professional, native speaker translator who is in compliance with the ISO standards. After the translation, the text will be partly reviewed. This ensures a competitive rate, but the text will not be completely reviewed. For this reason, ISO 17100 is not applicable. It is possible to work with a terminology list and/or translation memory.
Our advice is to choose this translation option if you have a simple text to be translated that does not have any legal merit or is not intended to be published. Texts which are best suited for this option include documents for use within a (corporate) organisation, or a simple text such as a recipe.
Excellent:
The text will be translated by a professional, native speaker translator who is in compliance with the ISO standards. After the text has been translated, it will be thoroughly revised by an experienced revisor. This option is more expensive, but the text will be completely reviewed. In this case, the ISO 17100 standard is applicable. It is possible to work with a terminology list and/or translation memory.
Our advice is to choose this translation option in order to avoid having an inadequate translation. Texts best suited for this option include medical, legal or technical documents and texts that are intended to be published.
Express:
The text will be translated by a professional, native speaker translator who is in compliance with the ISO standards. We define an urgent translation, sometimes called a rush job, as a translation that requires same day completion or if more than 2,000 words need to be translated per business day. Speed is of the essence, but not at the expense of quality.
Together with you, we will discuss the quickest possible deadline.
The ISO 9001 standard outlines requirements regarding continuous customer satisfaction. The ISO 17100 standard includes provisions regarding the safeguarding of the quality of translations. It is because of our ISO 17100 certification that you are assured a revision of a translated text.
A certified or sworn translation is a translation that is completed by a sworn translator. This person is sworn in and listed in the Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators by the courts of law, whereby the translation is always legally valid.
You send your texts to Translation Agency Perfect and state your translation wishes. We then diligently review your request and search for a suitable native speaker translator. Next, you will receive a quote. After you have accepted the quote, we will begin the translation. Your text will be revised before you receive an email notification that the completed text is ready to be downloaded. Click here for a more detailed description of our procedure.
Translation Agency Perfect can translate a variety of texts. You’ve come to the right place if you need a manual, general terms and conditions or a brochure translated. We also translate blogs, online shops, websites and everything in between.
We calculate the base price by multiplying the word count by the rate per word. The price is ultimately dependant on a number of factors. Translation Agency Perfect offers three translation options in different price classes: Economy, Excellent and Express. These options each offer a different price per word and have various advantages, including delivery time and type of revision. This is precisely why the price of a translation differs per assignment.
A translation memory will be accumulated. This means that for future assignments, the previously translated words in your assignment will be deducted from the total cost. We will also look for repeated segments (chunks of text) in the source text. This is cost-effective and ensures consistency, which results in a quality translation.
