Occitan Translation Services

Yes. Translation in Occitan (Lenga d'òc) - a language of southern France, the Val d'Aran in Spain and the Occitan valleys of Italy - is routine here, not something arranged specially when it comes up. The text is delivered in Latin script with ò and ç, in either the classical or the Mistralian spelling, produced by a native speaker and checked by a second one before it reaches you.

Native Occitan (Lenga d'òc) speakers who also know the subject matter, followed by an independent reviewer. Modern technical terms are coined with a note, since Occitan has no settled vocabulary for them, which is a decision only someone who reads the language can make. The translator works into their own first language, which is what keeps long text readable instead of merely correct.

Yes, and it is handled by assignment, not by guesswork. Occitan (Lenga d'òc) throws up one difficulty in almost every file: Gascon, Provençal and Languedocien each read differently, and classical and Mistralian spelling turn one word into two. Give us the region when you upload and the file goes to a translator who grew up with that speech, which is the difference between a clean file and one full of bracketed gaps.

Most often oral histories, cultural and heritage material, signage, local media and academic texts. Each type carries its own conventions - speaker labels for interviews, timestamps for legal material, clean formatting for anything published - and those are agreed before work starts. Most of the work here ends up in front of someone with the authority to reject it.

In Latin script with ò and ç, in either the classical or the Mistralian spelling. Written properly, the Occitan (Lenga d'òc) output can be searched, quoted and reused by anyone who reads the language; typed phonetically by a non-speaker, it cannot. Rarer languages are confirmed as available before the quote goes out, not after you have paid.

Both directions. Occitan (Lenga d'òc) into English and English into Occitan (Lenga d'òc) go to different people, because a translator works into their first language and not out of it. Certified translation is available at $25 per page. Certified pages are prepared in the format the receiving office asks for, with the signed statement attached.

Occitan (Lenga d'òc) has a smaller pool of qualified translators than the major languages, so availability is confirmed before you pay and not promised then rescheduled. Most requests are placed within hours; where the wait would be longer, you are told at quoting stage. A single page is a normal order here, and most certified filings start with exactly that.

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 Occitan (Lenga d'òc) translation is worked out from the word count, the subject matter and whether the document has to be certified. Occitan (Lenga d'òc) sits outside the commonly requested languages, so availability is confirmed before the quote is issued and not after you have paid. 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.

It depends on length and on how difficult the source is, and the time is in the quote before you commit. Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours covers the urgent end. Occitan (Lenga d'òc) material with heavy code-switching takes longer to work through than clean single-speaker source, and the date you are given reflects that.

Work is done by human translators and compared with the original before it is sent, which is how the 99+% accuracy standard is met. The reviewer on each Occitan (Lenga d'òc) file checks names and terms against the source instead of reading the text through, because this material is full of names nobody can guess at. Dates, figures and proper nouns are checked separately from the prose, because those are the details a reviewing office compares first. One person working alone would not catch a term rendered two different ways in the same document.
