Expert Tourism Translation services

Tourism translation is translating what a destination puts in front of visitors - brochures, listings, menus, signage and booking pages. The work is produced by people and not by software, and what shapes it here is translation across documents, websites, media and software from one supplier, so the deliverable fits how you actually work instead of a generic template. Every file is checked by a second reviewer before it is sent.

Typically hotels, attractions, tour operators and tourist boards selling to visitors from other countries. In each case someone downstream relies on the file being correct, so a term rendered two different ways in the same document is not a small problem, and a second reviewer checks the work before it is sent. Most of the work here ends up in front of someone with the authority to reject it.

The 99+% accuracy standard comes from human work plus an independent check: one translator produces the file, and then another verifies it line by line against the source. What gets checked on tourism translation is the detail a reader would otherwise have to verify alone: names, figures, terms and anything the source left ambiguous. Dates, figures and proper nouns are checked separately from the prose, because those are the details a reviewing office compares first. That second pass is what catches a term rendered two different ways in the same document.

Files are handled under NDA, moved through encrypted transfer and seen only by the assigned team. Tourism translation often involves material people would not want circulated, so the file is closed to everyone except the pair working on it. Personal records, contracts and pre-filing material arrive daily, so access is closed by default and opened only to the pair on the job. They can also be deleted on an agreed schedule after delivery, with written confirmation.

Word, PDF, Excel, Google Docs or plain text. The format for tourism translation is agreed at order stage, so the first delivery is the one you can file, send on or publish. Your house template can be applied from the first order, which is what keeps a set of documents looking like one set.

Place names and dishes keep their local form with a short gloss, since the visitor has to ask for them. None of that is left to chance on the day: it is confirmed at quoting stage. The translator works into their own first language, which is what keeps long text readable instead of merely correct.

Distances, temperatures and travel times are given in the units the visitor arrives with rather than the local ones. That is part of what tourism translation means here, not an extra, and anything genuinely outside the brief is quoted before it starts. A certified version and a plain working copy can be issued from the same job.

Yes, in 100+ languages, each handled by a native speaker and not by someone working from a dictionary. What tourism translation involves does not change with the language, and the same independent check happens before delivery. Rarer languages are confirmed as available before the quote goes out, not after you have paid.

Translation starts at $0.10 per word, and certified documents at $25 per page. Translation is priced per word and certification per page, so you can see which part of the figure is which. Tourism translation is quoted from the material you send, so a short job and a long one are worked out the same way. Quotes are calculated from the word count, the subject matter and whether the document has to be certified, so two clients sending comparable material pay the same, and nothing begins until you approve the written total.

Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours is available, and the delivery time is confirmed in writing before you pay. Tourism translation is scheduled against the people who actually do this work, not against a general pool. If a deadline cannot be met you are told at quoting stage, not on the day.
