Not sure you need certified translation instead?

If your document is headed to USCIS, a court, or a university admissions office, you likely need a signed certificate of accuracy — that’s Certified Translation, not this page. If it’s an internal memo, a business letter, or general correspondence, you’re in the right place, and you won’t pay for certification you don’t need.

What it is

This is the "everything else" category, done properly and priced fairly — not padded with certification fees you don’t need, and not treated as commodity work not worth doing well. Correspondence, internal memos, policy documents, and general business content, translated per word with the same second-linguist review as every other service.

Who it's for

  • Small-to-mid businesses translating correspondence or internal documents.
  • Anyone who assumed they needed certified translation and just needs a clean, correct translation instead.
  • Businesses needing general content translated without the process or price of an industry-specialized service.

Documents & content we handle

  • Business correspondence & emails
  • Internal memos & policies
  • General reports & presentations
  • Marketing collateral (non-localization)
  • Meeting minutes & notes
  • Vendor & partner communications

What's included

  • Per-word translation, reviewed by a second linguist before delivery
  • A note, at intake, if we think your document actually needs certification — we’ll tell you rather than upsell you
  • A 7-business-day free-correction window
  • Digital delivery by default

Questions about Business & Document Translation

Do I need certified translation for this?
Only if the receiving institution requires a signed certificate of accuracy — typically government agencies, courts, and universities. Business correspondence and internal documents almost never require it. Not sure? Tell us where the document is going and we’ll tell you honestly.
What counts as "general business content"?
Correspondence, memos, internal policies, reports, and similar documents that don’t require certification or specialized industry terminology. If your document is a contract, a medical record, or a financial statement, see the relevant industry page instead — pricing and process differ there.
Is this priced lower because it’s lower quality?
No — every order gets the same second-linguist review. It’s priced lower because it doesn’t carry a certificate of accuracy or specialized subject-matter requirements.
Can I order a mix of documents in one project?
Yes — list what you’re sending in the project details and we’ll confirm total word count and price before work starts.

Straightforward translation, straightforwardly priced.
