Do you find yourself needing quicker turnaround on general and non-technical documents?
Compared to our technical SDS translation service, the Express™ service represents a solution for quick and cost-effective translations. The service includes human translations for English source text that is “general” in context. The service allows for a maximum of 5000 words of text for translation with a completed translated file(s) returned three business days after receiving the project's approval. The entire focus is on delivery of a translation by a professional translator, as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
This is a lower cost, quicker delivery solution. The GLTaC-Express™ service falls outside the scope of our ISO and ASTM certifications, and as such it will not be delivered as a certified translation. The entire focus is on delivery of a translation by a professional translator, without the use of MT, as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. To facilitate this service, we allow source content in the following document formats:
- Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx)
- Microsoft Excel (.xls, .xlsx)
- Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx)
- Rich Text Format (.rtf)
Many of the workflow steps are automated, which helps reduce time and cost. The concept of automation is to speed up the entire process, which also requires credit card before the project starts as the advanced payment method. Once you approve a project, the payment occurs, and a zero-balance due invoice accompanies the finished translation. Since the service is optimized to deliver a translated document in the shortest time possible, there is one low rate and delivery timeframe.
The process could not be simpler. You upload your file that has a maximum of 5000 words, approve the quote, enter your payment information (credit card is the only acceptable payment methods currently), and receive delivery of your completed file or files along with the invoice reflecting the payment three days after approving the quote. If we cannot process your request, we will notify you of the reason and you will not be charged.
*Excel files must have source text in column A with translations to be added in column B.
Disclaimer: The service does not allow for SDS, technical, regulatory, marketing, or legal source text nor does it include the GLTaC quality review or formatting of the files. Since lives depend on our translations in these domains, we feel they are best suited for translation in our technical GLTaC service and cannot be translated within our Express service.
