Many people who need certified or official translation services struggle to find the combination of quality and affordability. Translation services providers that offer very low prices rarely provide high quality translations because they usually keep their costs low by cutting corners or collaborating with inexperienced translators or even relying on machine translations. In general, translation services providers that focus on quality often rely on experts who are well paid for their high quality translations. At California Center for Translation & Interpretation we strive to provide accurate and high quality translations at the best prices. We aim to offer competitive prices without compromising quality on the services we provide. Nevertheless, you can follow the following steps to make sure you are getting the best prices from us:
Step 1:
If you do not need the translation urgently, please mention that in your email so we can provide a quote for regular service. Rush fee might apply if you have a tight deadline for the translation.
Step 2:
If you have many documents, please send them all at once. We might apply a discount for large projects. Likewise, if you need more than one language, please list all the languages you need so that we can review and get back to you with our best quote.
Step 3:
If possible, please provide editable files so our translators do not have to spend extra time formatting the documents. Additional fee might apply if our team members have to spend additional time on formatting the translations.
Step 4:
If you need a non-certified translation, please do not request a certified translation for court use. Many people who are not familiar with the industry assume a non-certified translation is the same as machine translation, requesting and paying for certified translations even if they do not require a certified translation for court purposes. We might charge extra for certified translations so if you do not need a certified translation, please request a non-certified translation.
Step 5:
Don’t ask for a hard copy if you don’t need it, and don’t order multiple copies if you just need one hard copy. In some cases we charge extra for hard copies. If you just need an electronic copy, please let us know when you get in touch with us.
Step 6:
Make sure you mark duplicate text (if any) so we don’t charge you twice for the same content.
We do our best to offer low prices, excellent customer service, and exceptional translation services. By following the steps above you can make sure you are getting the best deal. Please email your documents and questions to info@cacfti.com. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
