Services & prices
Four kinds of work, each priced per project and itemized by language. Translation, native-speaker review and a read-aloud are inside every figure; you never buy them separately.
The four engagements
Prices are starting figures for a typical scope, per language. Spanish, Portuguese and Haitian Creole cost the same.
Up to 5,000 words per release. We work from your string files, so keys, placeholders and plural rules arrive back untouched, and every line that outgrows its button is flagged with a shorter alternative.
Up to 25 articles per batch. Article IDs, headings and internal links stay where they are, so your search index and redirects need no re-wiring when the Spanish site goes live.
Instructions for use, quick-start cards, discharge sheets and on-device prompts. A query log marks every line your regulatory team should read twice; their sign-off stays theirs.
A native speaker walks your build on a real device and returns annotated screenshots of every clipped, broken or odd line, with a suggested fix beside each one.
Why testing is its own line
Translation can be perfect and the screen still wrong. That is why in-context testing is priced separately and offered on every project: we would rather find the clipped label ourselves than have a patient find it for you.
Add a test pass to my quoteSide by side
The same three passes run through every engagement. Here is where each one shows up in the work you receive.
| Engagement | You send | You receive | Typical turnaround |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interface strings | .xcstrings, .strings, Android XML, .po, .json, XLIFF | Same files, translated, with a flag list for lines that clip | 5–8 business days |
| Help-center articles | Platform export, Markdown or HTML | Articles with IDs and links intact, plus a glossary | 8–12 business days |
| Patient instructions | InDesign, Word or PDF with source | Translated layouts, query log, read-aloud notes | 6–10 business days |
| In-context testing | A build and a test login | Annotated screenshots by screen, with fixes | 3–5 business days |
An independent translator renders the Spanish, Portuguese or Creole back into English, for QA files that ask for it.
Spain Spanish or European Portuguese in place of the defaults, at the same rate as the standard variant.
Anything due in under five business days moves to the front of the desk.
Before you commit
Send a sample of ten strings or a whole help center. Within two business days you get one written fee, itemized by language and by step, with the word count and the assumptions behind it.
On pricing
Per-word rates punish short, careful strings and reward padding. A fixed fee per release, batch or document lets us spend the time a dosing line deserves and lets you budget before we start.
Yes. A translator drafts, and a different native speaker reads every line aloud and marks what sounds off. Both steps sit inside each starting price.
The written quote scales the fee to your actual word count and file count. You see the number before any work begins.
No. We flag the lines your regulatory or clinical team should review, and the sign-off remains yours.
