Methodology
I follow a four-step process, ensuring that my translation communicates your research clearly and correctly, preserves your original meaning, is indistinguishable from an author with native language skills, and uses the field-specific and technical terms of your subject area accurately (that is why I will translate academic manuscripts in the field of the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Arts only).
- Research – Before translating your text, I make sure I entirely understand your subject area, and I master the field-specific and technical terms;
- Translation – I actively translate your manuscript from the source language to the target language, ensuring your original meaning is communicated.
- Language Edit – I am available for a single round of revisions to make adjustments to the translation if necessary.
- Final Review – I will work with a highly curated group of professionals and native speakers to perform a last check that confirms accuracy and competence.
Rates
Before providing you with my rates, I want to be very honest. In content production, projects are often quantified and paid on a “per word” basis rather than a “per hour” basis. After several years of experience as an academic translator, I am convinced that using a “per word” rate instead of a “per hour” will always provide the client with the best value.
Academic translations are a highly specialized task. The expertise and context required for academic translations far exceed that of traditional translations, primarily because of the necessary preliminary research. High-quality academic translation services performed by a Ph.D. ensure that your manuscript will receive an accurate translation that preserves your work’s original meaning and context. Delivering high-quality, error-free translations to your audience worldwide will help grow your competitiveness internationally and present your research in a much more favorable light.
You have spent years mastering your craft and becoming an expert in your field. Do not compromise your work and integrity by using a discount translation service.
