1) How do you calculate a quote for a translation service?

A: The price of any linguistic service is mainly influenced by the following factors:
- Total of words
- Language(s) involved
- Difficulty level of the text
- Delivery date the customer anticipates
Software such as Microsoft Word have word counters. However, in view of the above-mentioned factors and others which may have an impact in the final price, the best approach is sending us your project for our evaluation. Use the following e-mail: info@antarestranslations.com.br.

2) How fast will I receive my completed translation?

A: As in the case of prices, delivery dates are also influenced by the factors mentioned on question 1, above. Remember, however, that a quality-focused linguistic service demands time. Therefore, usually the more time you have for the job completion, the better the final quality. So do not wait until the last minute. Even if you will only have the final text within a few weeks, contact us now so that we may start the translation preparation stage. (Refer to the translation process by clicking here.)
