What Is Online Translation?
With the growing use of the internet, most work and transactions are now carried out virtually. Accordingly, translation services can also be provided online over the internet. Online translation means having documents and texts translated through online communication, without meeting face to face. It is especially preferred by people who do not have enough time to deliver their documents and texts in person.
How Does Online Translation Work?
For this translation service, you state the purpose for which you will use the service and send your document to the İyiTercüme translation office via the website, WhatsApp or e-mail. Once the document reaching the translation office has been translated, a digital copy of the translation is delivered to the customer through the same channels. Being highly advantageous in terms of both time and price, the online translation service is frequently preferred. To benefit from our online translation service and get price information, you can reach us via the İyiTercüme Translation and Consultancy Services website or our WhatsApp line. After the language, character count and translation type of the document you want translated via WhatsApp or e-mail have been determined, you are informed about the fee. Detailed information about our translators and the services to be provided is also sent to you through the same channels. Once all checks have been completed by our translators, the translated texts and documents are delivered to you in a shorter time compared to other translation services. For any problem you encounter with the translation you receive, you can again reach us 24/7 via our website and WhatsApp line.
What Should You Consider When Choosing an Online Translation Company?
As with every translation job, online translation must also be carried out by experts in the field. Therefore, if you want a reliable and complete translated text, you should choose an established translation company working with professionally qualified translators. In particular, you should work with companies that can translate into many languages, have technical terminology and linguistic knowledge, and are familiar with the current meanings of definitions and terms. Working with translation offices that have sufficient expertise and experience minimises the likelihood of errors. Start working with a translation office that can provide the professional qualification documents and certificates of the translator who will serve you when needed.
Online translation is generally preferred by people who want a fast service. For this reason, you should make sure that the company you work with is reachable 24/7. A short response time to requests is of great importance for healthy mutual communication and for meeting your needs. In particular, the details to be discussed before the service should be answered within 1-2 minutes at most. After the service is purchased, the translation should be delivered without delay through the same channels, according to the time the customer requested.
Staying in constant contact with the chosen translation company is very important for customer satisfaction. Communication should not be cut off even after the translated text has been delivered, and support should always be given in solving problems. In short, an online translation company should respond quickly and be available for continuous communication.
Since online translation is generally a fast translation service, you should make sure that the texts are checked several times. As rushed work can lead to errors, make sure the translation office works with several expert translators in the field. Since an error or omission in your document going unnoticed by a single translator can cause major problems, take care to choose translation offices that work as a team.
To minimise communication gaps during the online translation service, you should choose a company with translators who use both the source and target languages like native speakers.
Frequently Asked Questions
If the online translation service is provided orally, it will be quite difficult to calculate the word count. For this reason, the translation fee is generally calculated on a daily/hourly basis. In the translation industry, unit prices are set in TL per word or per 1000 characters.
The common usage is “…TL/1000 characters”. For interpreting, the fee is set in TL per day or per hour. 1,000 characters without spaces count as one page. A job of fewer than 1,000 characters without spaces is counted as one page. The final price for translation services is calculated by multiplying by the unit price per 1000 characters. VAT at the current rate (20%) is added to this amount.
Translation fees are generally calculated not by word count but by the number of pages or texts. One page of text is usually taken as 1000 characters; the fee per page depends on the language pair, the type of document and the delivery time. Request a free quote for current pricing.
In interpreting or online translation services, since it is difficult to calculate the number of words or texts, payment may be requested based on an overall calculation after the meeting.
