Translation Quote FAQ
How much does document translation cost per word?
Translife Express charges $0.10 per word to or from English for major global languages (e.g. Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Spanish, French, German), $0.12 per word for Asian and European business languages (e.g. Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Dutch), and $0.14 per word for Nordic and specialist languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Hebrew). These rates apply when English is the source or target; pairs between two non-English languages (e.g. Chinese to Spanish) are $0.14 per word. Human verification and original-layout formatting are included. The minimum order is $29 USD per target language.
How do I get an instant translation quote online?
Upload your file on this page, choose the source and target languages, and the price appears in seconds based on an automatic word count. The quote is locked for 7 days, and you can pay online immediately or ask a human project manager on WhatsApp first.
Which file types can I upload?
PDF, Word (DOC, DOCX), Excel (XLS, XLSX, CSV), PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX), TXT, RTF, Markdown, subtitle files (SRT, VTT) and images or phone scans (JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC). Scanned documents are read automatically to count the words.
How fast will I receive my translation?
For one or two target languages, up to 1,200 words is delivered within 24 hours, up to 2,500 words within 36 hours, and up to 5,000 words within 48 hours; three or more target languages add about 12 hours, and standard (non-rush) deadlines that fall on a Sunday move 12 hours later. Priority Rush (+40%) cuts this to as little as 12 hours for orders up to 10,000 words. The exact delivery time is shown before you pay.
Is it machine translation or human translation?
Every Express order is checked line by line by a native, subject-matter human translator for accuracy and terminology before delivery. It is not raw machine output.
Will my translated document keep the original formatting?
Yes. PDFs, Word contracts, Excel sheets and slide decks are returned in the same layout, fonts and structure as the original, at no extra cost.
Are there discounts for large documents?
Yes, volume discounts apply automatically: 5% off 3,000+ words, 10% off 10,000+ words, 15% off 25,000+ words. Projects over 50,000 words receive a custom quote.
Why is my PDF or slide deck charged more words than it contains?
Layout-heavy files such as PDFs, slides and images are billed at a minimum of 120 words per page, because rebuilding their design takes the same effort as a text page. Plain Word and text files are billed on their actual word count.
Is my document kept confidential?
Yes. You can download a free counter-signed NDA before uploading, files are handled only by vetted NDA-bound translators, and your documents are never used to train any AI.
Can I get a certified or notarised translation here?
Express covers human-verified translation. For an official certified translation with a signed Certificate of Accuracy, notarisation, apostille or embassy legalisation (e.g. for immigration or courts), request a certified translation quote instead.
How can I pay?
Pay securely online in USD with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Link, from 195+ countries. Your work starts as soon as payment is confirmed.
