BEST SERVICE TRANSLATIONS AND DRAFT TRANSLATIONS

Best Service Translations are checked by two other people in addition to the actual translator. For Patents, Draft / Rough Translations cost half the price of Best Service Translations, are checked only by the translator himself and are for when the budget is low and accuracy is unimportant. Papers, Trials and Clinical Trials are more expensive because there tends to be much less text repetition. Best Service Translations are for when accuracy is required and are of a standard suitable for pharmaceutical regulatory purposes. Please note all work required within 5 working days must be booked in.  The fees for Best Service Translations are as follows. Clients may choose to be billed per 1000 words in the translation product,  or per 1000 Japanese characters in the source document. Discounts are available to Clients purchasing more than US$ 40,000  translation per year.
