TranslationTrudy is a 24/7 online translation agency. Our innovative system enables us to provide both customers and translators with a more transparent and flexible service. We emphasize three main criteria: quality, speed and cost efficiency.

The translation process begins as soon as the customer places his/her order. As soon as the order is activated, a suitably qualified, available translator accepts the assignment and proceeds to translate it using our online translation software. Our online software means that the customer can track the progress of the translation.

After translation, if the customer opts to have the text proofread, it is passed onto a senior translator who checks the text for errors and makes any necessary corrections. After the proofreading phase, the document is passed onto quality control where the final checks are carried out. If we are satisfied that the translation meets our quality standards, it is delivered to the customer.

We are constantly widening our selection, but you will find our currently available language combinations in the cost calculator on our home page. If you require a language combination that is not listed in our cost calculator, please contact us using our contact form.

When you enter your text into the cost calculator you will also recieve an estimation of how long it will take to translate your order.

TranslationTrudy also translates text that belong to specialist categories such as Law or Marketing. These translations are carried out by qualified translators who are experienced in the relevant field.

Unfortunately it is currently impossible for us to incorporate pictures and formating into your completed translation. Your finished order will consist purely of text. Please be aware of this when you place your order!

We will soon make additional services available to allow us to incorporate pictures and formating into your finished document. We will inform you as soon as this facility is up and running, and we thank you for your patience and understanding in the meantime.

Yes, when you place your order at TranslationTrudy, you are given the opportunity to fully brief your translator on the text. We always appreciate as much information as possible, to ensure an accurate translation.

If your translator has questions about the text, he or she can contact you via our internal messaging system. In this case TranslationTrudy will inform you by email.

We will treat your text with the utmost care and responsibility. The entire translation process takes place exclusively on our internet platform meaning that your document can not be downloaded by your translator or third parties. Additionally, all translators have to accept a confidentiality agreement in order to register and work for TranslationTrudy.

TranslationTrudy only works with qualified and experienced translators. To translate specialist category texts, the translator must have proven knowledge of the relevant field. Furthermore we insist on regularly checking the standard of every translator's work. For extra peace of mind, you can opt to have your text proofread by a senior translator.

When you collect your completed translation, you will have the opportunity to evaluate your level of satisfaction with the translation process at TranslationTrudy. We are grateful for all customer feedback, because this helps us to improve and expand our service for the benefit of our customers.

We take all customer complaints very seriously. If you are unhappy with the quality of our service, we will do our best to understand the cause of your dissatisfaction and to find a solution. If there are indeed mistakes in the translation we will initially send the text to a second translator/proofreader. If we are unable to resolve the problem, we reserve the right to reimburse the customer and to reclaim part/all of the costs from the translator.

You may not ask a translator to translate new text in the comments section. Please only use comments to answer any questions a translator may have or provide references that will be useful during the translation process. If you need to add new text before a translator starts the job, please cancel and re-order.

If a translator finds a problem with the job (such as the word count being off, the wrong language pair having been ordered, or the content of the job being unsuitable according to our Quality Policy), they will flag the job. The translator's comments will be added to job, and an email notification will also be sent to you. Please take the appropriate action to address the issue, and click the "This issue has been resolved. Remove this flag" button once it's been resolved.

Our system will not allow you to choose a specific translator, but you can have one of your "preferred translators" do your translation job. These are a list of translators you have selected on the feedback form as translators you would like do one of your translations in the future. If you're placing your first order, you will not see this option as you will not have any "preferred" translators yet.

If you would like one of your preferred translators to do your translation, click on the "Advanced options" button on the order form and select "use only my preferred translators." Please note that you must have at least 2 preferred translators before you can make the request, and based on availability, it may increase the time required to complete your job.
