Help me give you a reliable quote

Translation, proofreading and, obviously, copywriting are not commodities that can be readily measured in words, lines or pages. The services I would like to help you with are tailored to your individual demands.

Therefore, to get a quick and reliable quote, please be specific about your project:

For translation projects:

  • If you can, send me the full text to be translated. If that is not possible, please send a representative sample (at least 500 words) and provide as much information about the text as you can: length (in words or characters); type of text; target audience; file format etc.
  • What is your desired delivery date and the latest acceptable delivery date?
  • Are there terminology or style requirements to comply with? What reference material is available?

For editing/proofreading projects:

  • If you can, send me the full text to be translated. If that is not possible, please send a representative sample (at least 500 words) and provide as much information about the text as you can: length (in words or characters); type of text; target audience; file format etc.
  • What are the goals you wish to accomplish with this editing/proofreading project?
  • Who is the author of the text to be proofread/edited?
  • What is the scope of the project? Do you need a full bilingual check (accuracy, terminology, grammar, style) of an existing translation? Or just a quick check for linguistic oversights?

For copywriting projects:

  • Do you have a detailed brief on the product/service and the target audience?
  • Do you need press-ready copy or a draft for your local marketing team?
