Asked and answered.
Real questions from buyers, real answers. If something isn't covered here, the full FAQ lives at /faq and you can always open a ticket.
How is the price calculated?
+Per source word, multiplied by your quality tier and turnaround. We count the words and show you the exact total before you pay — there are no hidden fees.
Who are the translators?
+Vetted native-speaking professionals. The Professional tier includes a second-pass editorial review; the Expert tier adds subject-matter specialists (legal, medical, technical, financial) with certification available on request.
How long does it take?
+You choose: Standard (~48h), Express (~24h) or Urgent (~8h). Larger documents may extend the window — your committed delivery time is shown on the order.
What can you translate?
+Plain text and documents (PDF, Word, and more), in 200+ languages. You can add a brief with tone, audience, glossary and formatting notes for the linguist.
Can I get human translation for my dubs and subtitles?
+Yes. When you create a dub or subtitle job you can opt into human translation — the job pauses after transcription until a linguist delivers the translation, then automatically continues to voicing or captioning.
What if I'm not satisfied?
+Contact support. If an order can't be fulfilled to standard, we refund the credits in full. See our human translation terms for the service guarantee.
