Our pricing is transparent and tailored to your needs. Costs depend on the language pair, subject matter, urgency and whether NAATI certification is required. We typically charge per word, with minimum fees for smaller projects. For specialised texts (legal, medical, technical), we assign expert linguists to ensure accuracy. You’ll always receive a clear quote before we begin.
Turnaround times vary depending on length and complexity. As a guideline, a professional translator can complete 2,000–3,000 words per day. Larger or urgent projects may be handled by a team to meet deadlines. We’ll provide a realistic delivery schedule upfront, balancing speed with quality.
We cover a wide range of content, including:
- Legal contracts, certificates, and NDAs
- Business materials such as websites, brochures, and manuals
- Technical and medical documentation
- Personal documents like diplomas or birth/marriage certificates
Certified translations are available when required for official purposes
Quality is at the heart of our service. Absolute Translations operates under ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 standards, ensuring every project follows strict processes. Each translation is proofread by a second linguist, supported by translation memory tools for consistency. Where cultural nuance is critical, we engage in‑country linguists to guarantee relevance and clarity.
We treat your information with the highest level of care. Absolute Translations follows strict confidentiality protocols and complies with international standards to safeguard your data.
- All translators and staff sign non‑disclosure agreements (NDAs).
- Secure file transfer and storage systems are used to prevent unauthorized access.
- Access to documents is restricted to the linguists directly involved in your project.
- We operate under ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 standards, ensuring robust processes for both quality and security.
Your trust is central to our work, and we take every measure to protect sensitive information.
