How our express translation service works

Need a translation urgently? There is no need to compromise on quality.

When deadlines are particularly tight, we adapt our workflow to help ensure your translated documents are ready when you need them.

Here is how the process works:

  1. First, contact us and send us the documents you need translated. You can send them electronically as scans, or even as legible photographs. There is no need to provide hard copies.
  2. We assess the volume of work and discuss your language requirements and deadline. We then provide a quote tailored to your project. This is free of charge and without obligation.
  3. Once you accept the quote, we select a suitably qualified translator from our network. For larger projects, we assemble a team with the right expertise and the capacity to deliver on time.
  4. We check the completed translations before delivering them in your preferred format.

You can also request certified translations or an independent translation review alongside your express translation. Get in touch to find out more.

Our commitment to quality

We want every client to be satisfied with both the translation and the service they receive. Our approach is built around:

  • Translations following our Native-Speaker Principle
  • Translators qualified in accordance with international standards
  • Specialist knowledge and accurate terminology
  • Friendly, professional customer service

Express translations and our Native-Speaker Principle

Our Native-Speaker Principle applies to every specialist translation, including urgent projects. We select a specialist who translates into their native language for every assignment.

This helps us capture linguistic subtleties and strike the right tone for the target market. In marketing copy and advertising slogans, for example, that means adapting wordplay, humour and cultural references effectively.

For annual reports, medical documents and technical articles, native-language fluency must be combined with specialist subject knowledge. That combination is essential when every detail matters.

Translation services in line with international standards

We work to the quality standard ISO 17100:2015, an international standard for translation service providers. It covers the translation process, quality assurance and traceability.

This means that your express translation will be handled exclusively by translators who meet the qualification requirements of this standard.

Experienced translators with specialist expertise

Native-language proficiency is only one part of a successful translation. Relevant specialist expertise is just as important. Together, these skills help ensure accurate terminology and natural, industry-appropriate language in the target market.

The same standards apply to fast translations and express translations over the weekend.

Friendly, professional service from start to finish

At Lingovo, we believe in building professional, friendly and trusting working relationships. That applies both to the way we work with our translators and to our relationships with individual and business clients.

Our aim is to meet your requirements and make the express translation process as straightforward as possible. We are always happy to discuss additional requirements and tailor our service to your needs.
