High Tech Handbook Translation Services

Handbook translation is translating the staff handbook that sets out conduct, leave, discipline and what employees are told they agreed to. The work goes to translators who do this particular job every day, not to a general pool, and each file is checked against the source by a second reviewer before it is sent. This site is built around translation across documents, websites, media and software from one supplier.

The acknowledgement page employees sign is translated with the disclaimer intact, because that is the page relied on later. That is settled before work begins and not discovered afterwards, so the first delivery is the one you can use. The translator works into their own first language, which is what keeps long text readable instead of merely correct.

Word, PDF, Excel, Google Docs or plain text. The format for handbook translation is agreed at order stage, so the first delivery is the one you can file, send on or publish. Editable files come back editable - a Word document returns as Word, not as a PDF you cannot amend. Your house template can be applied from the first order, which is what keeps a set of documents looking like one set.

Upload the material, approve the written quote and deadline, and work begins - no deposit, no account to set up. Say what the handbook translation is for when you send it, because a filing, a publication and an internal record are formatted differently. Anything ambiguous is queried with you before work starts.

Policies that do not apply in a given country are flagged for your adviser instead of being translated through. Nothing there is an upgrade, and work that falls outside the agreed handbook translation brief is priced separately and only once you have agreed to it. A certified version and a plain working copy can be issued from the same job.

Yes. Handbook translation is available in 100+ languages, with every file going to a native speaker of the target language and a reviewer who also reads it. Rarer languages are confirmed as available before the quote goes out, not after you have paid. Where a language is rare, availability is checked before the quote.

Translation starts at $0.10 per word, and certified documents at $25 per page, with volume pricing once a project passes an agreed size. The quote for handbook translation is worked out from the word count, the subject matter and whether the document has to be certified. Handbook translation is quoted from the material you send, so a short job and a long one are worked out the same way. Translation is priced per word and certification per page, so you can see which part of the figure is which. Send the material and the figure comes back within minutes.

Urgent work is covered by rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours, depending on length and how difficult the source is. Handbook translation is scheduled against the people who actually do this work, not against a general pool. Scope is agreed before the clock starts, so a document job, a website and a media file on the same order each get their own realistic date. Longer jobs are split across a coordinated team working from one style sheet, so speed never costs consistency.

The 99+% accuracy standard applies to every file, and it holds because each translation is produced by a person and then checked against the source by a second reviewer. Dates, figures and proper nouns are checked separately from the prose, because those are the details a reviewing office compares first. What gets checked on handbook translation is the detail a reader would otherwise have to verify alone: names, figures, terms and anything the source left ambiguous. Anything genuinely unclear is flagged for you, never guessed at.

It is handled by restricting access, not by promising discretion. Handbook translation often involves material people would not want circulated, so the file is closed to everyone except the pair working on it. Everyone on the job is under NDA, transfer is encrypted, and your own confidentiality agreement is signed before work starts if you have one.
