Translation Services
Translation refers to the process of converting written text from one language (the source language) into another language (the target language). Translators work with written documents, such as books, articles, legal contracts, technical manuals, websites, and other written materials. The goal of translation is to accurately convey the meaning, tone, style, and nuances of the original text in the target language.
Frequently Asked Questions
01.
Do you rely on machine translation?
NO, we believe that only human translators possess the ability to understand the nuances, idiomatic expressions, cultural references, and context of the source text. They can interpret the meaning behind the words and accurately convey it in the target language, taking into account cultural sensitivities and subtleties that may be lost in machine translation.
02.
What is the turnaround time for translations?
Typically, turnaround times for translation projects can range from a few hours to several days or even weeks, depending on factors such as:
- Length and Complexity of the Text
- Language Pair
- Subject Matter
- Format and Layout
It's essential to discuss turnaround expectations with Atlas Dreams Languages staff upfront to ensure that deadlines can be met and to determine any expedited options available.
03.
How much does translation cost?
Translation costs vary depending on factors such as the language pair, word count, subject matter complexity, level of specialization, formatting requirements, and turnaround time. Translation service providers typically offer pricing based on these factors.
04.
How do your translators ensure accuracy?
Atlas Dreams Languages translators ensure accuracy by understanding the source text thoroughly, conducting research as needed, adhering to linguistic and cultural conventions, and reviewing and revising their translations for accuracy and coherence.
05.
Do you provide an affidavit of translation?
YES, we provide an affidavit of translation, which is a sworn statement affirming that the translated document is a true and accurate rendition of the original text.
We sign the affidavit in the presence of a notary public or other authorized official, under penalty of perjury.
The affidavit of translation serves as a legal assurance that the translated document can be relied upon as an accurate representation of the original text, providing confidence to the parties involved and the authorities who may rely on the translated document for various purposes.
