Frequently Asked Questions

Translations are cheap when compared to their Culturally Sensitive Quality Assurance Delivery Costs

How much does a page translation cost?

The cost of a page translation depends mainly on the language. Some language pairs are more expensive than others.

For example, complex languages, like Norwegian, cost more than simpler languages, like Spanish. Generally, an average 250-word translated page costs around US $25- US $75.

How much should I pay for a translator?

A translator is usually paid per word or hour. The average hourly rate for professional translators is around $70.

Is it hard to translate a website?

Translating a website from one language to another requires a deep understanding of the source and target language’s grammar, structure, and cultural nuances.

A combination of machine, human, and Ai translation is the best way to create a fully translated website that preserves YOUR brand’s messaging and resonates with the target audience!

What is translation memory?

Translation memory (TM) is a database where the sentences and paragraphs of a translated text are stored.

All the entries include the source (original) language text and the target (translated) language in the form of sentence pairs.

We are a browser-display translator system.

When a request is made for a web-page, your website sends a copy of that one and only page to the visitor and that copy is loaded by the browser. Once all protocols have been met, the browser displays your web-page.

The process is as follows:

1. The browser communicates back and forth with your website until it has created a display template.
2. The browser adds your web-page identifier number to its master list and adds the display template to the assigned location in its display buffer.
3. The browser cycles through its master list and swaps each item from the inactive display buffer to (all or part of) the active display area - about 10,000 times per second - making each item "fit" within the ever-changing active windows of the display device (computer, tablet, phone, smart watch).

----

When you add our "one line of code" to your web-page,
- we take a snapshot of the contents
- we send the contents back to us for translation and
- we push the results back into that assigned location.

----

There is one - and only one - copy of the website

- and it resides on YOUR server.

Traditional websites are server-rewrite translatorr systems.

When a request is made for a translated page, the website incorporates internal setting to send out that (separate) webpage.

Each webpage is translated BEFORE the website is launched and each language copy is stored on the website - often uniquely structured to preserve version numbers with the original webpage.

Most translations are contracted out. However, it is up to the website staff to store and maintain each translated page and to deliver the most up-to-date version of that translated version.
